Soldier finds gray kitten in engine block, updates his animal lover wife who promptly demands he bring the baby home to add to their fluffy family: 'He turned out to be a daddy’s boy'

It's always the dads who weren't "cat people" who fall in love with their fluffy fur babies the most.

One of the best parts of being the "animal lover" in your relationship is watching your other half slowly understand how amazing pets truly are. We grew up in a household with a lot of pets. And by a lot, we mean around five dogs, two cats, and two horses. We were surrounded by animals from the time we were born, and we've always loved having a pet in the house. Our partner, on the other hand, never had a pet before. So when we got together, the first thing we said was, "You know we're going to adopt at least a few cats, right?".

He was skeptical at first. "It's your responsibility", he said. "I'll go along with it because I know I can't stop you", he said. Well, as soon as we got to the shelter and started looking at kittens, everything changed. We took one home, and he immediately started calling her "his daughter".

The same happened with the soldier in our story below. He found a tiny gray kitten in an engine block, then reported back to his animal-loving wife who demanded he bring the baby home. Like a good husband, he obeyed.

Now one year old, the gray cat and his soldier dad are thick as thieves, and our hearts couldn't be happier. See more of this cute kitten rescue story and this dad who is now definitely a "cat purrson" below!
