Cats want kittens too!

Kittens are something no one can resist. In Reddit's r/CatDistributionSystem a lucky fellow is blessed twice by the system. Two years ago a stray wandered into his home when the door was left open. He couldn't find the owner so decided to make the guy his. He's all grown up now and likes to adventure outside during the day. He was playing outside and came back carrying a gift for his owner, a fresh and young kitten! The cat distribution system strikes again, but this time it's his own cat who brings the kitten. He couldn't find an owner or a mother even though he looked and posted. There was a bad storm the night before, so he knew he couldn't just let the kitten back outside. 

After bringing the kitten to the vet, he sees that the kitten is a male around 5 weeks old. The household decides to name him Niko, and he's the newest and best addition to the happy family. Read the story below and comment on how cute it is!

  • Milo and Niko! Those are really the cutest names. It's so serendipitous that his cat would bring home a kitten. Cats are known to bring their owners owners gifts, like a bird, or a worm, a spider, or a lizard. But another kitten is crazy (and adorable). I think these two had a soul connection and that's why Milo brought him home. It's surprising and amazing no matter how you look at it because two cats could easily fight, and to have them love each other and have a connection immediately is just beautiful. There's no reason to look at it any other way. Their connection is obvious, and this guy is lucky to have them both.

  • Has something like this every happened to you? Once I read a story about a dog bringing in a kitten and actually caring for it like an owner would. Animals never cease to surprise or amaze us with their actions. It's not everyday that this kind of thing happens, and should be appreciated for what it is.

    and care instructions as I have never taken care of a kitten this young before. If anyone has any tips for caring for a kitten under 8 weeks old please let me know.

    UPDATE: Our household decided to name the kitten Niko. Took him to the vet and found out he is a male and around 5 weeks old. The vet said he is a healthy weight but
