Stray cat screams at stranger in alley until the unsuspecting human gives in and picks him up, now he’s part of the family and even has a cuddle buddy: 'I wasn’t planning to keep him, but he had other plans'

Hey friends, it is time for another heart-melting tale courtesy of the cat distribution system, which once again delivered a fluffy little surprise at just the right moment. Last November, the original poster was minding their own business when a dirty and very vocal alley cat appeared out of nowhere and began loudly demanding attention. This scrappy boy screamed until the human had no choice but to pick him up, and just like that, a new chapter began. At first, the plan was not to keep him, but as anyone who has ever been chosen by a cat knows, resistance is almost impossible.

After a few much-needed flea baths, a trip to the vet, and a neutering appointment, the bond started to grow. The once-grimy alley cat had officially become part of the family. Now named D'artagnan, he settled in quickly. His new sister Artemis was unsure at first, but over time, she warmed up. Today, the two are often found curled up on their human's lap, snoozing together in total comfort.

"I wasn’t initially planning on keeping him, but after multiple flea baths, getting him neutered, and generally just falling in love with him, he’s now a full-fledged member of my household."

From screaming in an alley to napping in a loving home, D’artagnan’s transformation is everything. Sometimes, all it takes is a meow in the right moment and a kind human willing to say yes.

"He sat down right in front of me in the street after screaming his whole way down the block to me. I always stop for strays but don't always take them home or rescue but I couldn't help it. Thank you for your kind words!"
