That was the most blatant act of the cat distribution system that I have ever seen. Your love for each other was instant - a beautiful friendship.

[@jays2551]

and the whole spectrum of human behavior too - from absolutely scummy, cold, apathy (dropping your cat off in a random parking lot) to pure care and compassion (witnessing this and immediately taking it upon yourself to care for this helpless creature). I'm just glad buddha found someone actually worthy of his companionship

[@hherroyal05]

Hahaha

[@NYHeeb]

43 old hardened man here. I have more love and respect for my cat and all cars then most people. True unconditional love. How can people be so cruel to animals. Good dude thanks for saving him. Earning the love and trust of a cat is one of life's gifts

You're so right. The cat ALWAYS picks their human. Never the other way around.

[@Futurebound_jpg]

Mine are from a shelter so technically i did pick them, but they also LOVED me the second they met me so i think the feeling was mutual.

Its weird when cats instantly trust you the moment they saw you, as if they knew you are cat person

Thank you for saving this poor cat. Some people can be heartless, but you made the world a better place.

Maybe the original owners were just out exploring the park and the cat escaped? Maybe they’re heartbroken by the loss? Not all stray animals are left behind by heartless people. Looking at the bright side of things can transform your life. ❤

Maybe the☸🐈‍⬛ saved him? But now that they're on the path of "happily ever after," we'll never know.🤔

[@TheCountofToulouse]

Once you have something to care for, care about and show love to, you begin to understand what life is really all about.

[@patrickscopas9133]

It would be better if you found a human to love and care for.

[@TheCountofToulouse]

@@patrickscopas9133 It SHOULD apply to children but when people get into energy leach relationships, they take all their living water and pour it on their OWN roots, then expect you to pour YOURS on them, also. Animals are rarely narcissistic in nature, which is a good starting spot for some to learn about nurturing.

Welcome to the crazy cat person community. It's amazing here! I LOVE how the cat found a loving and caring human brother/dad.

[@Vero2yu]

It is called a Pet owner, sick wacko girl, can also say cat owner if he only has a cat or cats. But not ''dad, brother'' and all that retarded nonsense, smfh, animals and people are not relatives. When they are not Dna related they are not relatives. One of them is a person, not a cat, the only dad is the one who supplied the flluids that lead to its creation! Meaning a cat, not a person, bye.
