'Every time they tried separating them, both cats cried endlessly': Massive feral Maine coon fiercely protects blind white kitten, refusing to leave his side

'Capitán', the Maine coon, was the king of his territory for five years, and he showed us what a true king does: he nurtures and protects, against all odds and with no excuses.

Strength is not always about how physically strong you are. Don't let those macho weirdos on social media try to convince you otherwise. It can be about the strength of your will or your ability to protect those who need help. If strength were just about how big your muscles are, them the leaders of the world would all look like Arnold Schwarzenegger (and we all know that's not true). Our stray Maine coon, 'Capitán', is showing us a different kind of strength, the purrfect kind that offers kindness instead of brute force.

He was the guardian of his neighborhood park, a tomcat no one dared mess. Neighbors noticed a new addition to their small stray cat community, a small white kitten. The kitten kept bumping into things, and didn't get surprised by sudden movements. That was when they all understood: the kitten was blind. Immediately, Capitán stepped in to become his guide. Even when the residents intervened and tried to rescue the blind baby, both of them would cry nonstop until they were safely back together. Because of Capitán, the kitten was able to survive in a world that would not have treated him kindly.

True strength is calm and collected. True strength protects those who are weaker. True strength encourages pawsitivity instead of dominance. True strength is Capitán's middle name.

It's not often you see a stray Maine coon. They're a sought-after breed that comes with a hefty price tag, so this one must have escaped or his past pawrents left him behind. But if there was one type of cat that would be the king of his neighborhood park, it would be a Maine coon. Even other cats think they are meowjestic and regal!

If we had lived there, we would have adopted both of them, then they could have stayed together and not have to live outside. Just saying for anyone in the market for two beautiful and wholesome felines!
