'The void found a void and filled it with love': After losing his wife, grieving grandpa gets adopted by bold black kitten that wanders in and fills his home with love again

Usually, dads and grandpas are the ones who resist getting a cat the most. They always protest and say things like, "Not in my house!" until the cat starts loving them, and then they turn into big puddles of goo that end up loving the cat more than anyone. Especially if it's a kitten. It happens literally every time. However, in this story, it's the cat that adopted the grandpa, and he seemed purrfectly happy to welcome this new furry friend into his life.

After losing his wife, this wholesome grandpa was feeling all sorts of lonely. Well, you can purrobably guess what happens next - a bold black kitten just wandered right up to his house and adopted him. The CDS heard his need to be loved, so they sent him their most loving angel in the form of a feline. Maybe it was fate, maybe it was grandma who made the call for him, or maybe it just happened on purre coincidence. Either way, it's pawsitively sweet!
