Stray Cat Paws At The Window Every Day Until Lady Adopts Him | The Dodo

I'm convinced there's a special place in Heaven for people who help or save helpless animals.

[@accounta09]

insha’Allah (God-willing), yes there is a special place. You see, most Muslims will know this story: One blistering day in the dead of summer, a ‘lady of the night’ was walking around the city. What she was doing is anybody’s guess, but she found herself near a well. People would come by and fill up water by using the lever to pull up the water bucket. She then noticed a thirsty dog lying near the well. It was nearly dead, from both dehydration and malnutrition. The sun’s heat was also especially cruel that day. Everyone ignored the dog as it was filthy and thought to be a stray. The lady had a moment of compassion; she pulled some water up from the well, poured it in her shoe, and gave this make-shift ‘bowl’ to the dog. God was so pleased by this action that He forgave her for all of her sins. Even the sins she committed at night with strange men. Needless to say, she was likely headed to a bad place in the afterlife due to the adulterous sins she committed, but the Almighty’s Grace overcame all of this. Why? Because she helped one of God’s creatures that was helpless. That couldn’t even ask for the water. She saved the dog’s life in this world, so the Almighty saved her in the next (Hereafter). *Source: Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), narrated by Abu Huraira (Sahih Bukhari)* So yes, I would dare to say there is a special place in Heaven for those who care for His creatures. And the Almighty Knows best.

[@patrickobrien8851]

Well, just to give a different perspective. I fully agree that Anna is a great person for taking in this cat - Bart - and that good things come to people simply because of their caring attitude in the world. But it ends there. We live in this world, and there is no proof - none - of anything outside of it (world = universe), no matter how much people want it to be that way, or how much they were conditioned growing up to believe it to be that way. Which is fine. As long as compassionate and caring behavior persists on this earth, in this universe, the outcomes will be the same, especially as far as animals (that are not human) are concerned. Great job, Anna!

[@deemisquadis9437]

Yes for sure.

[@Lonesome__Dove]

Heaven is for people that help animals and others.

[@Pe-S]

The poor baby was likely abandoned. :( I'm so happy he was rescued by that kind lady, thank you for helping him!

[@susuabc]

This cat had a home previously. He knows humans need to let him in the house. Somehow, he lost his or was abandoned. It was so good of you to answer his call for a home.❤

[@pommiebears]

Maybe his owner passed. Some elderly have cats because they don’t need walking, they pass, and the family just let the cat fend for themselves. Cruel, and unforgivable. I’d never leave an animal. My family knows if anything happens to me, my babies are to be kept. I’d haunt them otherwise 😂❤

[@rolandfernandez9529]

Elderly people possessing cats and do not have long to live should ensure that their cat pets are adopted by people who love cats. The vets can certainly be of immense help in these situations. Alternatively, children of elderly cat loving parents need to take the responsibility of ensuring forever homes for the cats of their parents. This goes for pets of all types. To simply abandon their pets is abject cruelty towards pet animals.

The fur pattern on his face makes him look sadder than puppy dog eyes. Thank you for rescuing him and giving him happiness forever ❤

[@Madronaxyz]

That's a good point about his fur pattern giving him an appearance that really pulls on the heart strings!

[@ItsJustLisa]

It sounds like he was dumped. He had a hard time trusting, but once it’s earned, you’re chosen. Good on Anna for giving Bart the home and companionship he needed.

[@cloutmuzikbeats]

I had the same feeling because he was showing major signs of abandonment

[@kroakie4]

I agree that he was dumped, and probably not too long after he showed up at Anna’s house. I wouldn’t think a cat that is feral would solicit human attention to the extent Bart was.

[@rolandfernandez9529]

Yes. Very true indeed.

[@힐만94]

the fact that he follows her everywhere shows that he has trust issues... he's afraid his human will abandon him again, so that he won't loose sight on his human again...

Truth

[@lisabelle7553]

That was how I got my second cat-- the best boy in the whole wide world. He was a street cats but so loving and friendly. He never met a stranger and had love for everyone and love for life. He passed in 2019 at 17yrs old. He was a gift from God. I still cry missing his affection. Bart is a GIFT!

[@heidibee501]

Seeing him patting the window was so sweet. Once he had a taste of affection he became addicted to love. And when he offered his trust it was absolute. *He understood that his human protector was a true friend.*

[@elizabethrice3220]

[@jennykalahar]

I had a bookshop in Ohio wherein shelter cats were fostered and then adopted by customers. More than 50 were adopted from my shop over the years. I then wrote a series of novels about the experience (Shelve Under C is the first) to encourage other shops to look into fostering dogs, cats, rabbits, etc. The business that took over my location continued to foster, thankfully.

[@luna-p]

Yeah. He looks neutered.

[@kroakie4]

A totally feral cat wouldn’t want the same level of human attention this cat craved.

[@tessiepinkman]

He's had owners who abandoned him (or died, or he got lost - one of those) and the poor guy is terrified of being left behind again. I'm almost certain. This is very much typical behavior of that, but I could of course be wrong. You are an angel for taking him in and loving him. He seems like the sweetest little guy. I'm a bit jealous, I can't have cats right now because of different reasons, and this guy just proved why I love cats so friggin' much. Take the greatest care of him (though I'm sure you are!) and give him some love from me :)

[@lunkis3233]

Thank you for saving him and giving him a forever home.

[@emmsmom1848]

I’m so glad you took him in. He’s keeping you close because he was probably abandoned by his last owner. Thank you for rescuing him.

He seems like a cat that once had an owner and a home, and spotted the chance to have it again. ❤

We rescued a stray kitty. She showed up at the porch one day. It was perfect timing because the following week a snow storm was coming. He named her Peanut.

All my cats have just come to me except one cat my friend gave me. My latest one was hiding in my backyard for months, I would hear her crying at night but she would never show herself until one evening she ran across the front yard, I thought she was a rabbit because her tail is kinked back on itself leaving a puff ball at the end. I thought to myself I hope Midnight my old colony cat doesn't kill it but I started feeding her after that day and lured her into the porch with tuna. She adapted to living inside very quickly and is my baby now.🤗

He obviously had an owner who either died or abandoned him, and so now after learning to trust and love again, he is afraid of loosing his human again, which is why he is constantly following her, afraid to let her out of his sight. Such a shame he had to go through something like that, but at least now he has found an Angel here on Earth who loves him, has adopted him, and will take care of him for the rest of his life. Such a sweet and loving cat, and I hope they are together for a long time to come.

[@adamclarke7394]

We lost our beloved cat, Basil, who had been part of our life for 14 years, and my wife hassled me to adopt a new one. I laid down some ground rules to which she agreed (Shock!). I told her I didn't want a kitten or a juvenile because they easily find homes. I wanted the cat that everyone overlooked. As a result, we have Eddie. He was 12 years old when he came to us. He doesn't meow but has a distinctive squeak. He only has a stump of a tail, but because I work from home as a Freelance Writer, he has become my constant companion. I'm glad we've given him his forever home, and I thank you for doing the same for Bart. I hope you provide each other with years of love and enjoyment.

[@lisabelle7553]

Thank you for thinking that way and adopting a pet in need. I think there are two kinds of pet owners. People who get pets to make themselves feel better, and others who want to save an animal's life. Thank you sir.

Opening your hearts to Bart just further tells me what truly awesome folks y'all are and I am so grateful that you finally decided you couldn't live without him and formally adopted him by getting him vetted and bringing him inside. You saved him and there is no greater calling in the world than saving another living soul's life. Heroic.

[@lisabelle7553]

When they're that loving, you should take them inside. Cats that live outside have a much shorter lifespan.

[@iambiggus]

@@lisabelle7553 Thank you for the concern, but he doesn't like being inside much, so we don't force him. And unfortunately, even though he is fixed, he still sprays occasionally if we don't watch him close. That gets old quick. He is neutered, has his vaccines, gets fed twice daily, and is treated as needed for any pests. We also live where the temps average 85 year round, and he gets to hang out with his 7 other outdoor buddies with no natural predators around. He's good 👍🙂
