Sometimes, you go off into the woods with your son, thinking it’s gonna be a great weekend, just you and the boy, getting to bond, fish and just enjoy nature. Then, somehow you become a hero.
Imgur user iburnmyfeelsaway is an avid camper and he and his son have a hidden spot that they go to for a night or two to just do their thing. A few weeks ago, then went there only to find an extremely skinny cat there. While the dad went about setting up the tent, his son started to befriend the cat.
He got the feeling that he was going to end up taking the cat home, but that wasn’t the entirety of the story.
The son decided he was going to try to catch some blue gill to feed the cat, as they didn’t bring enough food for anyone other than themselves.
He unfortunately had very little luck, so he started to feed the cat stale bread that they had for a minnow trap. Despite the less-than-stellar food, the cat stuck around, playing with the son and getting some belly rubs.
The dad and his son then made their meals and ate int the tent, because the cat wouldn’t leave them alone. They did, however, share their leftovers. The cat ate, then left into the night, while the dad went outside to try to catch some more fish, with no luck.
The next morning he awoke to this. But not just two eyes staring back at him….
He had 8 eyes staring back at him. Turns out the cat was a mom, and she brought her hungry kittens back to the people that fed her. It’s almost as if she knew these people were going to take care of her and her kitties.
So later that morning, the son went out and tried to fish again. He caught 13 blue gill and a couple of catfish.
Sufficed to say, he shared with the kitty and she got herself stuffed, which meant that she could produce the milk to feed her babies.
Then the the boys decided to come home, taking the cat and her kittens with them.
The first thing they did when they got home was to take the cat and babies to the vet to get them checked out. He set up a gofundme to fund the vet bills, and within days he doubled his goal. As they decided to keep the whole lot of them, the extra money will be to spay/neuter them when they’re older and to keep in reserve for any other bills.
The cats are now as happy as they can be living on his back porch. Given how friendly and demanding of human attention this cat is, they figure that she was a domesticated cat that was taken to the woods when she got herself pregnant.
As for the person who left the cat out there, iburnmyfeelsaway had some choice words, writing: ” I have to say if you are the bastard that dropped this poor pregnant cat off in the woods to survive on its own you are a piece of shit and I want you to know that if I did not have the urge to go camping she and her kittens would have probably died. My guess is she already lost a couple.”
Whoever that guy was, fuck him. This is just about the best story on the internet today.
Nothing tops this.
