There are many times we wish were a cat instead of a hooman, fellow feline enthusiasts, but now we really wish we were born as a cat. Especially if we could meet a kindhearted hooman like the one in this post. The internet is full of random acts of kindness, purrticularly towards cats, but this one takes the cake (or in this case, the Fancy Feast). From finding a stray maine coon and having her give birth on your nightstand to stealing a kitten from a neglectful owner, we love seeing hoomans look out for our feline friends with all the kindness of their hearts.

In this case, a software engineer took on the project of building a "smart" shelter for a stray cat he claims 'isn't his', but we all know differently. The cat has definitely claimed him as his own, and even has him building him a shelter for winter, with heated floors and everything! Scroll down to see the meowrvelous mansion this hooman is building his cat, and remember that a little kindness goes a long way!

    Here is the 'not his cat' in question. As you can see, this cat is very comfortable getting close to him. He even says below that the cat hangs out with him while he's building. That, good sir, is the sign of adoption.

    This shelter looks fancier than our apartment! Why can't we find a kindhearted hooman to build us a new "smart" apartment? Is it really too much to ask?

    • whatev3691 4h ago FYI cats usually like two routes of egress so they don't feel cornered. The cat might avoid using it if there's only one door. If that's the case consider adding another door/hole with some sort of insulated flap
