Saving one cat will not change the world, but surely for that one cat the world will change forever. Glad there are still people who care about these innocent animal lives.

even if its a cliche, its never too much to use it as it is certainly a surprising fact for someone new

[@levilandes1719]

Saving that cat does change the world, or at least does it's part. The world can be changed one small random act of kindness at a time. Something a movie said, still rings true.

[@aidengamer00001]

One tried to kill me

[@t.k.5088]

The way he instantly understood he was "home" and started purring, kneading, interacting makes it all the more bittersweet... it's like he knew what's it like to have a home. Like he got lost or abandoned and thought he'd never have that happiness again. Thank you for giving him love and hope again.

[@sheet-music]

cats purr when they are distressed.

[@Jake-ky4tu]

@@sheet-music Wrong. Purring is an act/result of relaxation/comfortness and in cases as such after times of distress. iI you've had a cat, its undeniable. Also, isn't it plain obvious that the ol' fellow is content with his new home?😑🤦‍♂

The can purr when they are in pain, too. But they mostly purr when they are content. In this scenario it's unlikely that he is distressed don't you think? He would be hiding as well if that was the case

Less than a year after my last cat passed away, my new baby randomly showed up at my door looking for food and snuggles. We found out later that she was someone else's, but the owner didn't want her anymore. So now she's mine. She's the best snuggler ever. ❤

[@ZooomaCW]

Reminds me of a cat I had several years ago. She was a skitterish cat. For two or three years I'd see her now and then outside. Loving all animals, I'd be very friendly trying to get close to pet her but she'd always run. Then the neighbors moved and left her behind. For about a month or two I didn't even realize it. Eventually I and others started leaving her food. Over the course of a couple of weeks I got closer and closer. I "talked" to her by meowing to her. Eventually I could pick her up!! Then I brought her home and . . . well, she was amazing. She went from running away from me to sleeping on me! She didn't have many years left, I think just five or six it was, but she was . . . it's hard for me to think about, she was just wonderful. 🙂 ✌️

similar story with my, now passed away, cat. She came around our (I lived at my mom's) door and we decided to just give her food. My mom knew the cat was from the neighbours across from us who had just moved and put a note on the door saying "your cat is with [address], no worries" because cats have a tendency to go back to the familiar place if you let them out right after moving. the neighbours came, they talked, and they decided it was the best for the cat to stay here

(05/30/22) As you can see can see from my profile pic, I’m no spring chicken either. Never had a pet of my own but now living alone and getting my housing situated to welcome a senior cat into my household. Hope to get a female siamese as I think she was fit in nicely to both my temperament and living arrangement and her comfort zone as well. She would certainly welcome what I have to offer and too, won’t be bouncing off the walls like a kitten would. Jyst two seniors sharing space and chatting each other up is good thing. Just will try to learn ‘cat’ with time. We can stay the course with each other and avoid going batty by yourself in this era of Covid.

[@babyblue28]

When I adopted my cat the first thing I thought when I saw her was, “I’m not getting her”. And I don’t know why- she was and is absolutely an gorgeous calico queen. After being scratched to death by the other kitties at the shelter, a lady at the shelter put the cat in my arms and she began to purr! Eight years later I can’t imagine my life without her- she’s the smartest, sweetest cat I’ve ever known. She’s an inside-outside cat and the whole neighborhood knowns her because she likes to sleep in other people’s porches! And when I’m on the swing outside she hops up in my lap. Her name is Buttercups with an S, but we call her Schnoodercups.

I actually just made a comment about this. I think he lost his way to an old home, or got abandoned, or was the pet of someone who passed away.

I know this feeling well, as I still remember the first time our own adopted cat purred. I cried, my mom almost cried. I thought we never would get there, but she did purr in the end - it felt like an achievement had been unlocked. God bless everyone who adopts and hears that first purr after a long while!

[@sweetdreams1028]

This actually made me cry Thank you so much for giving this little angel the home he needed ❤

[@debbyangenni4616]

Oh my gosh, his face changed as soon as he came out of the carrier. I can see how happy he is now. You did a beautiful, loving and compassionate thing. Bless you both 🙏 ❤️

The tomcats I've had throughout my life have always been the most loving and loyal pets I've ever had. They really want nothing more than to sleep in a warm spot, eat well and get petted.

you can just see how happy he is to have found a home. That cat will love you for the rest of his life, they are not stupid and he knows that you took him from a bad situation and saved him. I love how his eyes were barely open and he seemed so lethargic in the shelter but opened wide and filled with joy once he was given a home.

[@angelwhispers2060]

To see a former Tom Cat making biscuits is the cutest thing. That's how you know he feels really safe

[@NancyB2P]

How funny... I have never heard it called make biscuits until today... how hiliarious... I will use this from now on.. thank you..lol

@@NancyB2P take a wander around literally any part of the pet lover or cat lover part of Facebook and you will see the term. You may also wish to check out Jackson Galaxy's KZbin channel he is a cat behaviorist and also uses the phrase making biscuits and many other contemporary terms for cat behavior.

I very rarely cry for some reason, but I shed a few tears watching this. Can’t imagine how many animals are that miserable. This has to be the first (or maybe 2nd) KZbin video that’s made me shed tears. Crazy how this channel found a way to move people like no one else does
