We are very touched by the outpouring of positivity and love for our beloved cats. Really REALLY means a lot. We made sure to read all the stories posted and were touched by a lot of your personal stories as well. You Rats are the best an old oily lawn mower mechanic could ask for. We were asked about donations etc which is not at all what we were looking for, but since people want to help and support our cause there’s always Taryl Apparel that helps keep us afloat as well as sharing the videos. We are forever grateful for this wonderful community. Thank you all for the support and kindness and we’ll do our best to keep y’all updated on the kitties from time to time. And There’s YOUR Dinner!!

[@superunknown8645]

to me, having a family pet or family pets is like having eternal friends. overtime, you get to know them better and better and it creates that special bond that is dang near impossible to break. i remember crying my head off when i heard that we had to put our beagle dog down 6 years ago. the time between when we put him down and when we got our new dog was like a depression for me because i didnt have an animal friend to comfort me when i was feeling down. i think that people who think its ok to abuse animals should burn in hell with their souls well done. im glad you decided to help those cats instead of leave them to starve and possibly die. And there's "YOUR" dinner.

[@thekingsilverado9004]

I guess mechanics R suckers for pussy anyway we can get it... My cats pulled some stunts that would make your hair stand up just like your stories... Thank god they nine lives... Even me I used up about 8.5 of my nine lives...

[@Ken-wd4wk]

I have 5 cats inside and a couple outside that claim they are ours :) Mommo really looks like a cat I had long ago..Cats really are the coolest ..

[@thekingsilverado9004]

@@Ken-wd4wk I have 3 ferals and 4 domestic tabby tunas here. Our Momma cat she is deff the boss stays just a few feet from me at all times. She turned non feral when she was cornered by a coyote out behind my shed barns her one son ran to distract the coyote but I have this overly affectionate prankster Bobcat and domestic mix we call him chucky simply because he has ripped up a few people bad and a girlfriend or two but he was the hero that distracted the coyote long enough for me to get my shot gun up and in my shoulder right. A shot gun is no joke when other pets are in a fray one of em could get shot too. But Chucky basically had a good approach he literally jumped up and over the coyote raking his head with his claws causing he coyote to back away. The Mommy cat was a bit mind fucked seeing the dead coyote and the smoke roll out the barrel of my Kreighoff. I used the top barrel which is full choke and it put the predator down one shot. Now she knows not to go wandering around up in the fields. That even also brought the others closer to me. That Mommy cat and 3 others now sleep in my bed with me. which they never did before that time about 6 years prior. Cats R people too. I think they are people in their own right they like to be sort of independent. They all come inside at dusk and eat and go to sleep just like I do.

[@springfield4522]

Maybe a Taryl&Mommo mug ?

[@danielflack7902]

To show such a personal side of yourself is truly honorable. A true touch of humanity in this ever increasing inhumane world. Respect.

[@terryegan3831]

Absolute and Total respect!

[@HokieJuju]

Absolutely!!! I love seeing great, kind compassionate human beings these days!!!

[@natetv1494]

Very relatable man. I love both dogs and cats.. to show this side of you is very humble of you dude.

[@sniggitty]

brought me to tears. I was expecting the worst. You, Sir, are the best example of humanity and empathy. You guys are fantastic, this is what we need today. People that care and love. thanks!

[@udokampfinger6374]

This story says a lot about who you really are , This world needs more people like you .I'd love to shake your hand.

[@nedg3740]

That was like a big budget movie. It had excitement, action, i laughed, i cried, had my heart strings pulled, and it had a happy ending. Wow Taryl, just amazing.

[@rickyklekot8391]

He's amazing

[@swordslayer5602]

She may have used a few lives, but that cat found a man with a huge heart. Great story.

[@thcall6441]

Cats know a good person. They know when they are going to be helped.

[@DoyleFuckinHargraves]

Mommo is a true rescue cat, thanks to Taryl , who's a good human being.

[@joesfamilyfarm]

Oh my gosh, I'm a grown man and this had me in tears. Glad momma cat is all better now.

[@kylesjunkandprojects216]

Taryl had me crying like a baby. Thank you for saving that cat Taryl.

Glad I ain't the only one, now me, the cat and the dog are going to watch TV, lol.

[@mikehamilton3833]

Those are three lucky cats. Cats choose their people, Taryl and Junior are lucky people.

[@sleve_mcdichael_]

It takes a big man to have a soft heart

[@debbiemcinturff]

I was so afraid this was not going to end well... but thanks to you and the courage and the heart to not give up on her, she has the chance at living a long and happy life. Thank you for sharing this with us. You are my hero!!

[@frankr.1594]

So sorry Taryl, that's the first time I've had running tears during watching how to video. We all feel with you!!! Taryl, a big heart man❤️👍

[@donandwendylaprise8267]

My wife and I watched this video and thought for sure it was going to be a tragic ending but it wasn't, we both love cats always had one. You guys are so amazing to have looked after that cat the way you did, kudos to you. That's great you are the person you are a very kind human being and an excellent mechanic. Your teaching methods are the greatest I have my grandson watching you, he is 16 and enjoys tinkering with small engine. You have my highest respect for being you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I am a diesel mechanic and have met many mechanics in my day I am 67 and retired but you are one of the kindest and thoughtful people I have ever seen. Thank you so much keep up the excellent videos and look after that cat house.

[@zman4150]

Thanks for being human, Taryl & Junior!

[@openBrandon]

Hey Taryl, 30 yr furnace technician here, I feel for you because I found my share of animals in furnaces over the years no cats thank goodness, lots of birds and rodents. I just want to say thank you for what you have done for those kitties because I don’t think many people could have gone the distance like you did and I have mad respect for you because of it. I’ve subscribed to your channel because you are a funny and an awesome teacher, I’ve learned a lot from you on small engine’s because now that I’m retired I’m having to fix my own equipment. Once again Thank you for what you did for those kittens an mom, and thank you for the education that you have given me on small engines. 👋🏻 John.

[@zachl1261]

Honestly, the story made me cry. I never post anything on the interscreen, but had to acknowledge this story. What a great ending, so glad Momma made it. For her to survive that........what a miraculous story. Inside the burners of a furnace trapped..............then days away and She comes back, you guys get her medical attention and she recovers. Tears to my eyes Taryl and Company, I tip my hat to you guys.

[@TVmadethemdoit]

What a great story, and I'm mostly talking about the story that tells us you are a kind, loving, and caring man. Mommo, and her kitties are lucky to have met you, Taryl.

[@mustie1]

great ending

[@EngineersHomestead]

Full story arc!

[@oxyfee6486]

[@popahh615]

You are right. I was almost at tears thinking they were going to tell you she died. God bless you sir. You did better than most people. You are now a cat lover. Welcome to our club. And thank you for sharing this story. You are now my hero in both small engine repair and cat lovers. Way To Go Taryl You are they best.

[@nicklutz61]

What a nice story. My family usually says "Are you watching that Taryl Dactyl again?", when they heard you telling the story, they all stopped what they were doing and gathered around the TV. One of your best videos yet. Thanks for sharing Taryl!

[@LIMowersAndMore]

God bless you Taryl and your son for taking care of these cats! You have a good heart!

[@imacmanx8562]

I'm not a cat person either, but what a story, tragic but with a really happy ending. Great job Taryl & Jr. My faith in humanity has been renewed.

[@LewisMowersandBoats]

Every time I see this video it hits me hard in 1984 on Christmas eve my family home burnt down our cat Tony was in the house at the time about a week later Tony walked to my Grandparents house all four paws damaged from the fire Tony lived for 10 years after that thanks for sharing your story with the people guys and God bless 🙌 🙏

This is such a great video! it ought to have a million views. So personal, honest, decent. Such a story of human proportions. Thanks!

[@arthurgilbert587]

Taryl fixes all!!! bless you

[@staind288]

Omg, Tim! You made a grown man cry! I love cat's and my heart fell when you told this story. I'm so glad there was a happy ending.

[@LiveInOC]

Teared up there for a second... you guys should write a song for her... she deserves it

[@edwardkane3237]

We had a kitten that strayed on our property 3 years ago. We took her in and adopted her. She’s been the best cat anyone could ask for. She uses the litter box religiously. She’s definitely been a keeper for me and my wife.

[@DAS-Videos]

I consider this story to be a miracle. Nothing less. 99.9 people, sadly including me, would have had Momo put down upon seeing the extent of her injuries. Blade looks to be eating Muffkin's food.

[@haneyoakie14]

Maybe Blade cannot read. lol

[@RedneckBeach]

That’s an amazing story Taryl! You’re a good man to care her like that. So happy it worked out.

[@rediRwoL98]

I was never a cat person but wouldn't mistreat one. Actually I had no pets, my job kept me on the road. Then about 22 yrs ago I married one of those crazy cat ladies & now I am a cat person. Thanks for being one also, Taryl. You & Junior just went up a notch on my scale of good, decent people out there.

[@seniorrider9337]

So I would guess that now you are a crazy cat man, huh? Just like me. LOL!! Got any new furniture? Love my little furry critters so much. What ever you want to protect, make sure to cover every night. It does work.

[@outtatime4512]

If only we could love each other like we love our animals. A touching story Taryl. Thx for the tears👍

[@boxjoint]

WOW!! Talk about a tear jerker. I was listening while driving and had to pull over. You are a good person! I have a new found trust that people, especially you, are good at heart!! I love hearing stories like yours. It gives me hope in humanity again! Thank you for sharing this experience.

[@edbernier5513]

Thank you Taryl for sharing your kind humanity with us. You make the world a better place. 💜

[@michaelg3554]

Taryl your so awesome. My daughter loves cats, and your story brought her sad tears, then you said she was going to be okay, her tears turned to happy tears. She said you are amazing for what you did.

[@tonybalew]

I know how she feels. If it was a sad ending, I would still be crying.

[@harrowtiger]

Same here and I’m a grown man.

[@Over55Life]

Awww, the momma cat. Thank you for sharing and providing a home. You are kind. We found a grey kitten 3 years ago and she looks like your kittens. She is the most gentle animal I know. Our first cat, Buttercup, was running threw a busy intersection. I wish there weren't so many cats outside. 😔 what a sweet sweet story. God bless you. Our cats are indoor only....the way it was meant to be. Blessings

[@BruceNitroxpro]

This is the most touching story on KZbin. Thank GOD you "fix all." Remember to have all three "chipped" in case they are lost.

[@symbionesesla]

Taryl...... Best man ever!

We need Blade,Muffkin, and Mommo merch!

[@RichardBlanchard-h8e]

Ive seen many of your videos, love them! I could tell your a great person even before I saw this one. It really shows what a kind heart you have, so glad that momma kitty is okay. Im sure it wasnt cheap for her vet care. They are beautiful cats and sure look healthy thanks to you❤

[@RaleysSmallEngines]

You have a big heart my friend. We have 4 cats and love them all very much, yes they are spoiled and fat. One of them named Jose' loves to ride on the golf cart with me and my wife. Great heart warming story Taryl

Great Story! Names Jose after your favorite Tequilla? 🙃

Wow what a great story of Mommo the mummy cat. You are a great couple of blokes Taryl & Junior for your caring for her so well. Greetings from Down Under in BONBEACH Melbourne Victoria Australia.

[@brianbanks3044]

I am a dog person but I love a great , happy animal story...great job Taryl.....thanks for sharing

[@larrycroft470]

Without a doubt one of the very best stories i have ever heard. And it came from someone i have grown to respect and admire. I for one knew Mr. Dactyl had a sincere & kind heart. It always shows through in his videos. You could not be such an excellent teacher as he without having a concern for others. And you see what fine young men he has for sons...You are a helluva man Mr. Dactyl.

[@andybecker2693]

Thank you for sharing that heartwarming story Tim. I’m glad that you cared enough to do what you did but it’s not hard to get attached to them. You now have 3 loyal friends for life. Mommo is one tough cookie!

Taryl, you are a truly wonderful man with the heart and soul of an angel. To see the emotion you felt is an honor. It’s no wonder she loves you. When so many would have given up and let her die, you never gave up on her. You are a truly kind man and a hero. I forever am a fan and I say you are more than a grass rat or lawnmower man. You sir are a grass angel! Please keep up the great work and thank you for sharing this story with us.

Taryl man, I never knew you had such emotion and feeling for animals. You're a good man. Thanks for showing that side of you. We took in a little baby Nigerian Dwarf goat. He was the runt of the 2 that were born and his mother didn't want anything to do with him. So we brought him home at 3 days old and bottle fed him. I only ever had dogs, so I treated him like I would a dog as far as training him. Now I call him my goat dog. He lives in the house and my yellow lab is his best friend. They are side by side outside wherever they may wander. We've come to love him as any other part of the family. Thanks so much for sharing Taryl, much respect.

[@ammoalamo6485]

It is good to know you are a man with a big heart, and willing to care for an animal in need. We've been rescuing and paying vet bills on cats and dogs for the last 20 years, and I wouldn't change a thing. It is so sad when the inevitable happens, and they pass on from this life, to live only in our memories.
