World's smallest black-footed wild kittens lose their momma in a sugarcane field, luckily kind workers find them and help the family reunite
Everyone needs their momma. That's true for humans, cats and wild cats alike. When we are little, mom is the safest place to be, and getting lost is just about everyone's worst nightmare. Of course, if you're a kitten running around in the wild, losing your momma is not only scary, it's also dangerous. It means facing the dangers of the world alone. And when you're a tiny black-footed kitty, also known as the smallest wild cat in the world, then every danger is a massive danger.

A feral cat's hard-won rescue from an isolated island is marked by a humiliating haircut that sparks a lifelong grudge and a series of poetic acts of vengeance
Cats are stubborn, probably more so than most animals, though we dare not compare them to mules, only in the hopes that they are not actually as stubborn as mules. Either way, this story centers around one feline who longed for the feral life and did everything he could to hold onto it for the love of life.

27-year-old bonds amazingly with adopted cat, but 24-year-old girlfriend is jealous and sets an impossible ultimatum
Sometimes, it isn't us who decides the future of a relationship - it's the cat. Our cats have a way of showing us truths we can't ignore. Piper wasn't just "a pet", she was comfort, softness, and the heartbeat of home, according to her human mama. She curled up where she felt safe, purred where love was steady, and hissed only when boundaries were crossed… For anyone who's ever shared their life with a cat, that's all the proof we need: the cat had already made her choice.

Woman catches her 30-year-old "tough-guy" roommate baby talk and love on her cats even though he pretends to be indifferent around them when she's not home
In an era when the thing that we see most often on the internet is drama and insanity, wholesome stories - genuinely wholesome ones - are rare. Roommates and pets seem to always cause drama. Roommates lock cats in their rooms even though the cats are not theirs. Roommates adopt cats just to post pictures of the cat on social media, without actually taking care of them properly. Roommates demand that you get rid of your cats for no good reason. It happens all the time. It's like we cannot avoid the drama no matter how much we try.

Man finds injured kitten on his 27th birthday, gets told his chances of survival are low, but 2 years later, the cat and his hooman are still purrfectly happy
There's just something about men with cats that just screams "Yes!" to us, right, feline fam? Seeing a manly-man talk in a baby voice to his tiny kitten just makes our knees go weak and hearts all aflutter. He doesn't even have to be "manly", just a man caring for his cat is enough to know that he's a walking green flag. So, needless to say, we're getting good vibes from the cat dad in this post. If we weren't getting married next month, we might slide into his DMs because not only is he a great cat dad, but he literally saved his cat's life when no one else was sure if he would make it.

Guy pulls over to rescue lonely kitten, gets ambushed by a litter of 12 baby fluffballs asking him to take them home fur good
Guys, cats are evolving. Cats are now awwdorably recognizing themselves in mirrors, they're becoming cuter and cuter to hooman eyes, and now, we have purrfect proof that they understand strategy. The days of hoomans being the #1 species on the planet are getting closer and closer to the end. Once cats understand the internet, it's over for us. We have a little bit more time until that happens, but still, they are getting smarter.
