'We would never be able to let anyone else have him:' Woman's spicy dumpster kitten becomes her forever feline friend and celebrates 10 years with his wholesome hooman companion

Ten years ago, a tiny tabby was tossed like yesterday's tuna sandwich into a dumpster by a horrible hooman. But don't worry. This sad start had a pawesome twist! A girl spotted the situation, scooped up the kitty, and got him to safety. He landed in the arms of a couple prepping to foster a mama cat and her three kittens. Instead, they got an early delivery: one spicy kitty with endless energy. 

This ginger goblin wasn't supposed to be a permanent resident. He was just there to crash on the couch, munch some kibble, maybe practice being adoptable. But from the moment his toe beans hit the floor, it was love at first meow. His foster pawrents (now married with a hooman kitten of their own) instantly knew: this clingy chaos creature wasn't going anywhere.

Now, 10 years later, this chunky chonk still rules the roost with cattitude, cuddles, and countless shenanigans. He's one of three foster fails, but 100% the 'idiot of my life,' according to his mom.

Happy birthday, you loveable loaf. May your naps be long, your treats plentiful, and your zoomies legendary.
