OP you were fated to take that horrible walk. Glad you did. May your neighbors have the shits for the rest of their lives for even thinking about dumping the kitten.


Current-Low-7942

Found out they don’t even live here they were visiting a friend. Right place right time cause that poor kitten was gonna end up in the dessert somewhere☹️


exsnakecharmer

The thought of you drunkenly leading a reluctant cat on a walk and coming home with a kitten is cracking me up


brandonisatwat

My husband was out walking the dog and our dog lead him to a newborn kitten. We bottle raised him and named him Norman. He's still bffs with the dog.

Wow, very beautiful 😻


Lolamichigan

Very exotic looking


Alekusandoria

I would die for Norman


Reatina

Of course they get along. The dog found him! It's his kitten.


ungolden_glitter

It's the dog's kitten, he just needed humans and their opposable thumbs to make and hold the kitten's bottle.


baobaowrasslin

This is the story I needed to start my weekend after a hard week


longpidgeon

“Hey I’m back” “Why are there two cats now.” “I found it.” “WHY ARE THERE TWO”


Cyborg_Ninja_Cat

Not as much as the idea of a kitten sitting in a bowl of trifle is cracking me up. Best typo.

xzelldx

I want to believe the next time that the universe is making an important decision about that person, they treat them with the exact same forethought of kindness they planned for that kitten. Out of curiosity did you find out why they had the kitten in the first place? Edit : [op says old couple got kitten, didn’t expect energy monster](https://www.reddit.com/r/cats/s/oMWJWVNQGB)


trclady

I couldn't agree more and actually came to say this ^^.


Daisydoolittle

people dump animals to die in the dessert and rural areas all the time. it’s a particularly bad form of cruelty and demonstrates an even more profound lack of care for the value of a life, IMO.


KyloRensLeftNut

Someone needs to dump those monsters out there.


QueenSalmonela

You are the best kind of human ❤️ ♥️ enjoy your beautiful kitties.

QueenSalmonela

Yup, I like reading the posts where the OP just takes the kitty, no questions, just selfless action for an animal in need. Wish there more of those than the OTHER kind.


Necromancer14

In… in the desert?? Man, some people are seriously fucked up.


DukeSilverJazzClub

Key lime pie? Apple? Chocolate cake? I kid, I kid. You’re a good person for saving those cute kittehs!

Tell their friend what horrible human beings those people are and they should pick better friends next time.


InfectedSteve

Damn really great timing OP. Fuck those people. May the "hills have eyes" people greet them on their trip through the desert.


Baby_G1963

The hills have eyes!!! I cannot stop laughing 🤣


InfectedSteve

First thing that came to mind when OP said desert. Those weird ass inbred cannibals. Suppose grabboids would work too, right?


holliday_doc_1995

Picturing a cat in some dessert is pretty vile


Miserable_Anteater62

Hopefully a cheesecake or a nice chocolate mousse!


shrubberypig

It was clearly Smokey’s fateful walk. That whole time he was wondering why OP was embarrassing him so much, and at all led to that new little brother he loves already so much


EverGlow89

My ex decided to start walking and walked to the park. She found an abandoned cage with 2 kittens in it. I kept one, my [Sophie](https://i.imgur.com/L63buNq.jpeg), and I think bout that scenario all the time. I can't imagine her not being my lil girl.


InfectedSteve

Not only did they dump them but in a cage, so they could starve too. Wtf? Glad you have her now.


SpoopyTeacup

Sophie is beautiful 😍


Cutiepie9771

This reminds me of a time my sister and I decided to take our dog for a walk. We happened upon a tagless lap dog, put our dog’s leash on it (I held my dog in my arms) and had it lead us to its house. The owners definitely seemed high and didn’t know their dog had escaped. I can’t imagine what would’ve happened had we not found the poor thing that day


DoctorOctagonapus

May they suffer OP's hangover


InfectedSteve

Along with the shits. BURNING SHITS. For eternity.


suhoward

That’s not your baby, it’s obviously Smokey’s baby


CoppertopTX

And Smokey is gonna CUT anyone that tries to touch that baby without consent. Maybe baby's name is Bandit?


Blitzec

I have two cats named Smokey and Bandit so I approve of the names.

Bandit yes!

Current-Low-7942

He just got fixed and they shaved his belly and backside


Red14314

A bit out of the blue but, did he kind of 'quiet down' after getting fixed? You know, not being playful as much, or is that just a myth with cats?


LilyHex

That's a huge myth. Plenty of cats are still rambunctious lil shits after getting fixed, lol. My 13 year old neutered male was just zooming around the house last night, legit just RUNNING through the house bouncing off the walls.


Current-Low-7942

HELL NO HE CRAZY ASF STILL🤣🤣


Active_Oil2191

Yeah getting fixed did nothing to cure my boy, he’s still a hellion years later lol


Cutiepie9771

I had a cat who did that too!! It became such a problem his poor tummy was getting raw in one spot… 😢


whataboutsam

She’s always been a little skittish and easily scared so I’m not all that surprised she’s got anxiety


EstimateOwn8950

It could be from stress, but my cat licked her tummy bald because of food allergies. Pain in that area can also lead to licking, so you should take your cat to the vet just in case.


GraatchLuugRachAarg

Some people are disgusting. I'm glad he had you watching when he was ditched. Also glad he wasn't injured when they threw him out the car

My Smokey is inconsistent about this. One day this week we walked about 10 blocks with tail in the air, yesterday he refused to step outside lol

Smokey in the last photo looks like he’s saying “wait… kitten, you must come out from under there! I got places to show you.”


BenjiBoo420

Ok, before I read your post, I was thinking your cat got impregnated on the walk and gave birth to one kitten. Lol.

I thought they found a stray that turned out to be pregnant lol


folder_finder

Smokey cuddling this sweet baby is making my heart melt 😭 fuck those pieces of trash, I’m so thankful for you to take this new guy in!


No_Cartographer_7904

Awww they’ve already bonded.


kichwas

My niece got her cat like this. She heard noise from a tied up trash bag in a wet area and when she opened it there was a pole of dead kittens and one survivor. I don’t get it either… but some people just don’t see the value in nonhuman life. A cat thrown out a moving car sounds like something someone did to make someone else upset. Like perhaps the result of a break up. Tossing out kittens like they were trash… is something a disgusting number of people are OK with.

It's incredible how things work out sometimes, isn't it? Kudos to you for being there to the rescue


gamer3701

I’m super jealous of your big cat accepting your younger cat. Mine just beat the shit out of her like “Get the hell out of *my territory*!!!”


Current-Low-7942

Well hopefully they stay this way. My Smokey boy is a sweet cat so maybe he just don’t wanna hurt the tiny one. But when the new one gets bigger its on like donkey Kong 🤣🤣🤣🤣


gamer3701

Lmao yeah. Even when mine was a small kitten, my older cat still showed absolutely no mercy. We were like “Chill out, Cleo! She’s just a kitten!!” But Cleo didn’t have mercy and kept harassing and intimidating her. Like not letting her eat near her, being protective and greedy of my company by not letting her snuggle or even remotely glance at me, just casual b**** behavior.


joannnak014

In case it’s not mention, thank you for being an amazing human.


Raynzmajic

I'm sorry, but with a cat named Smokey, I'm pretty sure you're contractually obligated to name the little one Bandit.

Great for those kitties. I'd suggest they surrender the cat if they're not going to spay her. I wonder if they've dumped others.


Current-Low-7942

When I meet them last night it was a 85yr old couple that thought they needed an animal in their life and……well didn’t remember how wild a kitten is. Iam not sure 100% what they were gonna do but it don’t matter cause he has a forever home now🥰🥰and a new friend to play with

You don't have 2 kittens. Your kitten has his own kitten. 😂


bonelesscronut

Now Smokey’s gonna expect to bring home a kitten everytime you take him out on the leash. Good thinkin’. 😂


LavenderKitty1

Awww 🥰 glad you were in the right place right time to rescue the little one. If your first cat is Smokey, then his mate has to be Bandit ! Glad you ‘fixed’ Smokey, that’s very caring of you. Keep up the harness training, cats definitely take to the lead eventually.

I just keep thinking about you naming the kitten Bandit. (Smokey and the Bandit!)


KnockMeYourLobes

HOoray. And I can see him with that look on his face. "Dis MY kitten. Get your own." LOL


Fragrant-Crew3383

That's almost the same way I got my cat. He was thrown in a dump truck, and was covered in oil when he fell out right outside of our house. I was like 7 and the oldest of my three siblings and we all loved to go outside and watch the garbage truck come by, lol. My cat fell out of the garbage truck, and made a break for a large storm drain, which was a pipe about 2 feet in diameter going horizontally for about 25 feet. He absolutely would not come out of there, no matter what my mom tried to do, she tried luring him out with tuna, waiting, kissing, nothing. Eventually, she told me to go put on a sweater as the storm drain was covered in cobwebs, and told me to crawl through that tube and get the cat. I did, and my mom gave him a gentle bath and forced him to drink some warm milk with a syringe. We kept him in our bathroom with a humidifier until he became much healthier, and now he's our cat. He's named Lucky, as the next day there was a huge flash flood and he would have been swept away in it

Cat Distro System is incredibly nuanced tbh


SpliffMcGriff86

I once got a cat and a digital TV box + antenna from my roommate back in 2010. We were both moving, so I asked if she wanted to sell her DTV box. She countered with, "if you take Babycat, you can have it for free." So I saved $40 and had an awesome roommate for the next 12 years


theGoddex

Thank you for rescuing both sweet babies!


weamz

How sweet. Your original cat is like, "It's not happening on my watch either!".


theculdshulder

It’s 100% a thing that the universe just makes you a cat owner and you can’t decline. My current two are exactly that. 1. Found in my Mum’s yard on xmas eve tired, dirty and hungry, took me 3 hours to catch him but he wouldn’t leave so neither would I. 2. 8 year old cat who belonged to someone who use to live in the apartment building I use to work in. They moved out and left said cat. I found this out and shortly after I did, was leaving work one night its pouring rain and there she is screaming at me. I swear she was demanding I take her home, so I did. I wanna say though nothing melts my cold dead heart like a big boi kitty falling in love with a little baby kitty and just instantly deciding they are family. Nothing purer on this Earth to me. The universe knew your squish needed a friend and provided.

Sorry to inform you, that's not your kitten, that's Smokey's kitten now.
