Tiny Kitten Orphaned at 1 Day Old Wouldn't Let Go of His New Mom

Image
This little orphaned kitten was the only survivor of his litter and never knew how it was like to have a mom until now. He wouldn't let go of his new mama. Meet Eli the kitten. Courtesy: @foster_kittens Little Eli was just one day old when they found him with his deceased siblings. He was bottle fed from that day on. The tiny tabby kitten yearned for the love from a cat mama. Madeline the cat and her kittens were taken into their foster home in Seattle Washington for a second chance at life. Cindy of foster_kittens became their caregiver and hoped Madeline would accept the little motherless kitten. When the sweet mama cat met Eli, she took to him and claimed him as her own. When Eli came to Cindy, he was a wee kitten who just wanted to be loved.   Courtesy: @foster_kittens Eli adores his new mom but doesn't know how to nurse.

Stray 'Kitten' Rescued From Highway Isn't What She Seems

Image
A car slammed on the brakes in the middle of a highway. A kitten was crouched on the road — and if she didn't move, she was going to get hit. The driver parked on the shoulder and ran into traffic to scoop the kitten up. At first glance, the animal looked like a normal house cat. Then the driver studied the kitten's wide hazel eyes and a short stumpy tail, and realized this was no ordinary kitten. Big Cat Rescue Later that evening, Jamie Veronica at Big Cat Rescue got a phone call to pick up a bobcat kitten at a veterinary hospital. When Veronica and her colleague arrived, the kitten was still taped up in a cardboard box the driver had placed the animal in … and she was not happy about it. "We had to un-tape that box and put on some really thick work gloves so that we could transfer her to our crate," Veronica tells The Dodo. "She was very feisty right off from the start. She didn't want to be picked up, so she was hissing and growling ...

Cat Wanders Around Looking for a Home, So They Open the Door for Him

Image
A stray cat had been wandering around a neighborhood, hoping someone would let him in. When he walked up to a couple, they knew they had to help. "We opened the door for him," Alexander Fredriksen from Norway said. Photo: Alexander Fredriksen @living_with_nala   "He was lost and almost starved to death when he found our neighborhood," Fredriksen said. The cat desperately wanted someone to socialize with. "We put up an online entry for lost/found cats. We looked for flyers but didn't find anything." No one came forward. While the couple and their neighbor worked together to feed and care for cat, they slowly introduced him to their own cat, Nala. Photo: Alexander Fredriksen @living_with_nala   "We decided to take him to the vet to have a check-up on his health and also look for a chip to see if someone owned him," Fredriksen said. The cat didn't have a chip and wasn't fixed. He went home with t...

Somersaulting Cat

Image
When cats go cray cray, they often do things that are beyond our comprehension. A kitty from the Netherlands does somersaults every time he has a Simon's cat moment. Meet the Somersault cat! According to the kitty's human, Jeroen Okkerse, when his cat gets in his crazy mode, he does somersaults. Cats in the wild can go on 40 hunting trips per day while house cats live more of a sedentary lifestyle that they need other ways to help them burn off the excess energy. This kitty has found his through somersaults.   Jeroen Okkerse/ YouTube   Watch the full video here: You never know what new tricks your cat is going to figure out next. They are full of surprises.

A dirty stray kitten was wandering around an apartment complex all by himself until a young woman saved him. What a transformation in just one day!
