'She reminds me of my soul cat I had in high school': Uni student spots poor cat as he's leaving for class, she plops and he takes her in immediately

It only takes a plop to make someone fall in love with you.

It can feel like fate when you find another soul that resembles someone you've known. In the story here, it feels like that kind of serendipitous fate. It's a university student who's just leaving his apartment ground on campus, when he spots a cat who looks like she's not in great shape. She's dirty with fleas on her, but has a beautiful white and brown coat. He approaches her and she's already friendly – she flops immediately, just asking for belly rubs. Then he takes her in. He already has two cats, but he's open to more. He gives her several baths in a matter of a few days, and there's a lot of dirt that comes off of her. He takes her to the vet for their full check up, and he knows she's his forever. He says she reminds him of the cat he had in high school, who he claims is his soulmate cat. It's incredible that they found each other. Read the full story below for all the wholesome and adorable details.

This story is simply adorable. I really love that the cat reminds him of his passed loved one. It's important he still remembers her.

Finding a cat that reminds you of one you loved and lost can feel so intensely emotional. Sometimes it happens unexpectedly, on your normal route somewhere. The day-to-day monotony just became magical. And the cat itself could even look similar, a similar pattern in the fur, the same curious countenance on the face, or the familiar way they curl up into a tight little loaf. In that moment, memories rush back all at once. The little precious routines, the soft purring beside you, the feeling that this small creature somehow understood you in a way words never could.
