Most feline fanatics will never pass on an opportunity to greet a pawdorable and friendly cat that is out and about in the world. Having an encounter with a sweet soul like that is probably the highlight of our day, even our week, so we are always delighted when such an awwesome opportunity presents itself. 

Usually, when we're walking down the street, hoping to come across a fluffy feline who's in the mood for some pets, we are looking down at the ground, where we would expect to see some cattos. At most, we might find one lounging on the hood of a car or sleeping on a bench. But how many of us thought about looking up, when trying to find a friendly feline? If we had to guess, we would say that most people do not consider this option, but maybe they should. Because maybe if they looked up, they might find a sleeping kitten on a tree branch, and maybe they might even end up taking that beautiful boy in, just like the purrfect couple in the story below.

    We rescued this guy from the street. He was skin and bones, sick and flea-ridden, but since the beginning the friendliest and the most

    trusting kitty. Now he's the longest boi among our cats, who are much older, and he's not even a year old. I think he will be a giant haha.

    Initially we wasn't planning on keeping him, but oh well... Cat distribution system knows what it's doing.

    somewhsome OP He really did! We wanted to give him to my boyfriend's parents, but they weren't too keen on the idea. And then we saw that he was scared of them, but he was never scared of us ③ so it felt like betrayal to search for a new home.

    Ring_my_Bella Aww, he looks so much healthier and happier in the after pictures. You must have done an amazing job nursing him back to health and raising him! He looks great!!

    somewhsome OP Thank you! Thankfully it wasn't too bad, he had a respiratory infection and of course worms. The main problem was that he wasn't eating well while living on the street, probably no appetite. So with some antibiotics and good food he recovered pretty quick!
