It would be terrifying to see a cat in a dangerous position on a bridge, but would you stop to save it?

Imagine riding your bike one day and you suddenly see a cat on a bridge. Would you stop to save her? Would you keep riding? In Reddit's r/CatDistributionSystem, this man was riding his bike and saw this guy on top of a bridge. He was shocked albeit he knew he had to do something. The bridge is long and there's a lot of noise and traffic below, so he's not sure how she got there but he spent 20 minutes gently trying to get her to go to him. He really didn't want her to lose her balance so he took it slowly. He looked around for signs of a mother cat or other siblings but he didn't see anything. He walked back home with her in his arms; she was sweet the entire time and never made an attempt to bite or wiggle free, just an occasional meow. She weights 1.8 pounds, and she's about 8 weeks old. The vet said she's healthy and now they can be together furrever! Read the rest below.

This kitten is beyond cute. If I saw this kitten up there, I would also stop. It must have been terrifying and dangerous to rescue a cat from the top of a bridge, but when the cat is this cute you have no choice. I remember when I found my little cat, he was also in an inconspicuous location. He was on the roof of a building! It's surprising to wonder how he even got there, because the only entrance was closed. But he managed to get there somehow, just like this kitten managed to get to the top of a bridge. I saw him and he started his little meow squeaks at me, and I just knew I had to have him. He was so tiny and stripped, and I took him home that day.
