Cats are the most confusing creatures. The man in this story sees a cat in a tree outside his apartment complex. He's the only one who can approach the cat without her getting scared. Over a week's time, he gains more and more trust from the cat, and even offers her some bologna. She's skeptical, but she follows him into his home. That very night, she's already sleeping on his head, and he's given her the name Amity. Saving cats is basically a Christmas miracle, and this hooman seemed to have worked very hard for Amity.

It's not everyday that someone really goes out of their way with lots of effort to save a cat. We're all familiar with the "cat stuck in the tree" trope, where a fireman has to come in and save the poor thing. But this man isn't even a fireman! No ladder, no uniform, just himself and his kind soul. He lured her in over time. If only men treated women like this in dating. Enjoy the story below, where a man saves a cat from a tree, and the internet applauds his bravery, persistence, and efforts.
