'It’s safe to say she has forgotten what it feels like to be scared and alone': Kitten inside bucket randomly appears on couple's driveway, they take her in and give her the home she deserves

Have you ever had a stray cat appear out of thin air? Well, the couple below has.

On Reddit's r/CatDistributionSystem, a man and his wife were afforded this little angel in a bucket. They say she appeared out of thin air, and she really did. The wife had just gotten home from work, and he met her outside to help carry her stuff in the house. They had just entered and were walking to the bedroom when they heard a high pitched noise. Barely been in the home for 2 minutes, and already going back outside to see what the commotion is. They went outside, and to the left of their bedroom window they see a black bucket covered in dirt and a poor little kitten huddled in the back, crying and frightened. They bring her inside, but it was late at night. There were no other cats around, and they examined the little girl.

They named her Missy. She's a young baby, and her first two weeks with the couple weren't the easiest, but they all managed. They took her to the vet, and she's all cared for. She's like a completely different kitten after only two weeks with the couple, and here at I Can Has Cheezburger, we're always happy to hear about a story with a kitten that's saved. Her favorite things include napping, playing with shoes, lying in boxes, dangling clothes, and making her little kitten noises. Read below for all the wholesome details.

It must be so difficult for cats to go from life outside to a safe home. There's no cushion of comfort, there's no good way to bridge the gap between the kitten's fear or anxiety about living outside, to the safety of a warm and loving home. If you're someone who's rescued a cat or kitten, then you know how hard it can be to go from one to another. This little kitten was probably hungry, and even maybe needed some medical care. But then she's suddenly swooped up by two loving people and given a safe space to grow up. Thank goodness cats don't have the emotional intelligence as humans!
