‘She blended in with the ground’: Cute calico kitten is nearly mistaken for a pile of autumn leaves, but quickly gets rescued and recruited into a loving cat family of 5

One minute, you think you're taking a nice evening walk in the early days of autumn alone, and the next, you're bringing a foliage-colored feline home with you! It looks like Christmas came early for the cat lovers in the story you'll be reading below.

In October, the ground is painted with crunchy leaves that possess golden hues of yellows, oranges, and reds. These leaves already cover a large portion of the ground we walk on and are tricky to maneuver as is, but in the dark, you never know what may lie beneath the leaves' surface. A cute creature; a kitten, perhaps?

The human who found the cute calico kitten featured in the next story nearly stepped on her until she realized that her eyes deceived her: A furry feline was cozied up in a pile of leaves! Like clockwork, the human brings this kitty home and introduces her to the other human in the house, her father. Now, the rescued calico, who is now named "Tori", has three new feline friends and two humans to call her family. Scroll below to read the full story about Tori and then, to the end, to watch an adorable video of her kneading, scratching, and following her new human around.
