'He had a broken hip!' Harry the unpawlievably tough stray cat defies all odds in -20°F weather, gets saved be a heartwarming hearth of hoomans

Meowdy fellow cat lovers! We are all familiar with the endurance and resilience of our furry companions, but after a plushy life indoors, many house cats have grown accustomed to the comforts of home. Regular meals (with gravy on top, of course), several fluffy beds scattered around the house, and an infinite well of kitty toys have given house cats the ideal living situation–not to mention the hooman slaves trained specifically to worship them at all hours.

House cats have it made.

But not all felines are so fortunate. In fact, once the cat is let out of the bag (ie: if they escape the safety of the 4 walls of our home), cats are ill-equipped to handle the woes outside. However, as we know, cats are always going to surprise us.

In our next story, a woman and her family encountered a survivalist orange cat with the heart of a lion who stumbled upon their house in -20°F weather. After Harry the orange cat discovers his new furrever home, cat lovers rejoice at the beauty of one woman's generosity and the power of the purrfect storm.
