I went for a 21K hike... got home with a kitten

[@--Taz--]

Many of you are still asking about different things, so I'll try to answer the most frequent questions here: [1] How did I name him? Taz (like the Tasmanian Devil). [2] Did I check if there are more kittens under the bridge? I didn't check but Taz and I were there for good 30 min making a lot of noise. If there were any more kittens, for sure they were going to come out eventually too. Taz came along later very easily, way too easily. I don't think he was going to leave behind so easily other kitten/kittens. He must have been alone there. [3] Why did I have cat treats with me? I carry dog and cat treats with me on these hikes as part of my usual equipment. I had some very serious encounters with barking dogs, so I use the treats to bribe such beasts. But sometimes I will meet sweets cats or dogs too, and I would offer them the treats if not already used on barking dogs. [4] What is 21K? 21K is 21 kilometers (21 km). That's the distance of a half-marathon. 21 km is equal to 13 miles. [5] Did I really hike 21 km that day? No, I actually hiked around 27-28 km (around 17 miles). The river itself had the length of 21 km, but I had to reach the place where it breaks ground first, which was about 6 km. [6] Where is this, what country? It's in Europe, the Balkans. Which country exactly is not that important, I would like to hike all over Europe anyway. [7] Why did I hesitate so much? What's wrong with me? Well, keep in mind that I just hiked 27-28 km (17 miles) before little Taz decided to "attack" me with all the cuteness. I was beyond tired at that moment. I couldn't think straight, probably couldn't think at all. Yes, he was little but not a helpless few days old kitten lets say, and he looked healthy and uninjured. Yes, he was very hungry, but somehow it didn't feel like a life-and-death kind of situation. Or I wasn't reading it correctly. Again, I couldn't even think, I was very tired. [8] Why not simply take him to a shelter? Did I really consider leaving him? To be honest it didn't even cross my mind that this is an option. I think shelters over here have a real bad reputation and many people would even prefer to simply abandon their pets than take them to a shelter, in a way the pet will have the better chances out there than in a shelter. I don't know, it's a complex topic. But back then I felt like really having only two options: either I leave him, or take him with me to be my cat. [9] You staged the whole thing! That was already your cat! Not really a question, but I will answer it anyway. No, I didn't stage it. I am not that smart (or stupid) to do something like that. What you see is what happened. My camera was already on, so I simply kept filming. If all that was to happen off camera, I was probably not even going to turn it on. [10] Did I really try to run away from Taz? I was kind of running out of ideas what to do, so I eventually did try to simply run away too. But not once, I tried it three times. The first two tries Taz was surprisingly more than able to keep up with me and didn't work at all. The third time he stayed a little bit behind and if I was to keep running, I was going to be free. But I stopped myself and went back to him. That's when I finally decided he is coming with me for good. All that was before we were walking to the car (7:07). What I said that I couldn't run away from him is true both figuratively and literally I guess.

[@--Taz--]

If this goes on like that, I might not be able to answer all comments. Sorry about that. And many thanks to everybody for watching and commenting, it's incredible how many people like our little story. Taz will come back, I am waiting for the right time and place. If he enjoys the hike, we'll do many more. Special thanks to @JacksonGalaxy for the million tips and @BeckyMarshallDesign for the litter box one ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpnKqqF9bplkepo&ab_channel=BeckyMarshallDesign )

[@sugarfalls1]

You came along at the right time! That kitten was so happy to see you and get those treats! That's a smart thing to bring those dogs snacks along on your hikes so dogs don't hurt you. Aww, that poor kitty is crying out - Don't leave me here! I'm starving and I'm all alone! I wonder where its mother went? That's crazy! So glad you took that kitty home. That would've broken my heart if you left that kitten out in the woods to starve to death. You gave it a good home. So glad to see it playing and that you love him. That's great! You're a good man!

[@gadsdenflyer7353]

@@--Taz-- He is either a stray or someone dumped him, no way he's feral. But he chose you, that's what cats do, and I'm willing to bet with the right training, you may have just found yourself a good hiking buddy. Beautiful coat too. But do read up on the problems with feeding dry food to male cats. There is the high potential for very serious urinary track problems. Some (not all) cats won't go to the water bowl often enough, and the best way to fix that problem is wet food. Best of luck with your new family member, this little guy seems quite sweet.

I too didn’t want or have time for a cat. Instead, I found a 4 week old kitten with a broken jaw, broken tail and a crushed vocal box in an alley. Never thought she’d survive the night. But if she did I’d take her to the vet. Four years later, as I type this she’s sitting at my feet. Follows me around the house, wherever I go. It’s a nice feeling doing something you really don’t want to do and then being rewarded for it day after day.

[@TheHockeyjock10]

You’re a hero man. I remember picking up my kitten after work, blind little thing had her eyes crusted over just sitting in front of my car. I couldn’t just let her sit there, probably wouldn’t have lasted the night. Didn’t even know if could really take her in. Genuinely thought she died on the car ride home. Had to syringe feed her for weeks. I can happily say the little bandit made a full recovery and is one my biggest joys daily. May only have one eye but lord is she feisty.

They would hide under furniture. It took a week for them to become comfortable. By the time they went to their forever homes at 9 weeks, they were as sweet as kittens get.

For those who think this is scripted/fake. I had a person in my neighborhood abandon his 6-7 month old kitten and leave. His next door neighbor told me they were kicking the cat and laughing at it trying desperately to go with them. The cat would come eat and get water at my feral feeding station, then run back to his empty house, hoping his family had returned. One morning my inside cats were extremely interested in something happening outside, and I thought maybe a bird had fallen from a nest. Nope, a coyote was stalking the abandoned kitten. He came running to me screaming, climbed me like a tree, and locked on with all claws. The coyote sat down and watched us, saw his lunch go into the house, and after a few minutes, went on his way. Mynx was named after a device used in a cardiac cath, and he is a healthy 3 year old. He is my best cat, sleeps beside me, and will not go anywhere near a door. His behavior was much like that of Taz those first days …. frantic screaming if I was out of his sight.

Having seen a bit more videos on cat behavior follow "Flatbush Cats" this cat did not just purr because it got good vibes. Cats cannot sense if someone is a good person. But Cats are very observant to the way people speak and move. So lets analyze the cat in the video: 1. Cat is very young 2. Cat is very hungry 3. Cat is very used to human contact This one was probably bought from another person or gotten from a shelter and soon after abandoned. It was probably fed for a few weeks or months by their new owners which is where it learned that the food came primarily from humans. Which is why it begged the KZbinr for food when they met and devoured it shortly after. It didnt know how to even hunt cause its a housecat. And all the above means it is already very used to human contact so spotting a human it immediately goes up to them cause "Hey I know that thing" probably still not understanding that it was abandoned cause its too young.

[@420_Logan]

Right! My cat literally wandered onto my mom's boyfriends property as a kitten and almost got eaten by his dog. Then my mom saved him and brought him home to our place to try and find a home for him and he was just like nah I live here now. 3+ years laters he's a great cat, totally chose us lol

Is the same for one of my cats

[@thenakawulskis8611]

Yup, that's how I got my cat too, 😆

[@lemon989]

it's a fact. I got the same issue. But she "jumb" in my sister arm in the street.

Absolutely love how "No way, I can't take you" becomes "it's been a week since we found each other, playing with our favorite toy" ♥️

[@cbbrady18]

And then the amount of toys just keeps growing every week xD

[@michaelcabrera6357]

Good to see you care for that special kitten.

[@--Taz--]

Thanks. It was worth it to make the effort to care for the little guy. Taz is a very good cat now. It is almost like if you are good to the cat, the cat will be a good one too. It's amazing how that works.

The classic story of 'accidentally' encountering a cat, feeding it and petting it for a while and not being able to get rid of it so you reluctantly take it home only for it to become the most beloved creature for the foreseeable future

Eye color indicates weened, so no mama. He has food. He has his human. He has a home. That's all a kitty needs to be happy.

[@keterpatrol7527]

Wait, how does eye colour mean anything for parental status in feral cats?

[@yackus716]

@@keterpatrol7527 kittens all start out with blue eyes, but they change after around 5-6 weeks, and their mother will have already started weaning them, transitioning them from milk to solid food. Since this cat doesn’t have blue eyes anymore, it’s likely already been weaned, so it doesn’t need a mom.

[@keterpatrol7527]

@@yackus716 Fascinating. Thanks for the info

[@justwantapeacefullife1863]

This is the funniest video of a kitten choosing a human I have ever seen. You were a goner from the first meow, it just took you awhile to accept that you were chosen and your fate was sealed. Great video, really made my day.

Happy ending for everyone, us included. I once rescued a white and gray tabby intact male. He looked like a bulldog due to being intact. He hated dogs, but loved my lap and people could hear his purr on the other end of the phone. I also named him Taz because of his bulldog, no neck appearance. So happy for you both.

[@Godemperor420blazeit]

I rescued my baby girl from the streets as well. But deep down inside I feel she’s the one that saved me. My kitten is my everything.

[@flubadubdubthegreat1272]

Cats choose us man

[@hiei494]

It was the same for me. My cat Oreo was still young enough to be on milk and she was covered from head to toe in mud and fleas (and looked like a piece of rubber in the road) when I found her on the back roads. Unfortunately she passed away 3-30-20. Hopefully you can be with your little one for far longer than I was able to be with Oreo (black and white domestic shorthair tuxedo cat). It took a huge toll on me emotionally when she passed away (passed away in my arms 😢).

[@debrakleid5752]

I have 4 rescues at home. A black cat who is now 10 but we found her at about 8 weeks old in a storm so her name is Stormy and triplet Russian Blues who I adopted from a woman giving them away at 6 weeks old. The plan was to find homes for all 3 of them but they were always together snuggling, playing, and sleeping. We assumed they would drift apart and even not like each other as they grew up but that wasn’t the case so the adoptions were cancelled and they are with me as well and are now 5 years old and their names are Smokey, Phoenix, and Ash who is nicknamed “the Pink Demon” because she has a neon pink collar and she is very loud. The triplets like to be on your lap or nugget with each other or with you when it’s bedtime.

Nice. Cats are amazing.

[@NickiRusin]

My cat found me in much the same way. I didn't have to hike to a bridge, though - the kitten was at my apartment building's entrance, screaming at the top of its lungs, in freezing cold autumn rain. Me and my wife heard him, and, as we opened the entrance into the building, he jumped straight into the hood of my wife's jacket and stayed there, purring. He was also about 2 months old, but quite a bit more underweight. It's heartwarming seeing someone else go through such a similar story. I hope Taz grows up to bring you much more joy and love!

@Auschwitz Soccer Ref. wtf are you talking about? stray kittens act like this lmfao

[@Rat-Builder]

@auschwitzsoccerref.8582 My third cat was found just like this on was, except I was in a car, and the kitten was in the road. When I drove by, he went into a drainage ditch. I stopped the car and walked back. The kitten came running out to meet me, just like this one did. Are you sooooo jaded that all people are evil and only out to get to you any way that they can? You seriously need to find a hobby. I take my 3 cats for walks all of the time, and they do not act like this kitten. After I had the "new" kitten for a week, he was not so clingy, and enjoyed the walks just like the other two.
