9 Lives 8 to go
a thankful nearly drowned kitty
Yai can be joor hero baby
The other day I heard a strange sound coming from the municipal drainage system and immediately knew what the combination of gurgling, whaling, and aspirated cries for help were.
I dropped everything and sprinted to the source of the struggle and found this fur baby clinging to life and fighting a strong current of grey water.
I had to lay down and extend fully into the drain and barely snatched this kitten up before it was swept through the piping of sure death.
Just moments before I had seen a black adult cat dead in the road and surmised this must have been the mom. I assumed the mother had been struck by a car but I later found out a pack of mongrel dogs had attacked her and mauled her to a gruesome end. Yikes!
Having had attempted too many rescues my wife and I were not up for taking in this fighter, unless we absolutely had to. Luckily we managed to clean it up and get it adopted the same day. He as it turns out is now one of 3 cats and very happy and healthy at his new home.
I asked Miss Shasthi if she wanted a sibling and she said no thanks dad! Spoiled rotten and wrapped around my finger..

Yea I saw you kicking ass ! The rescue kitty has a good safe home so hopefully lives all 9 lives over many years.

With 9 lives it might live longer as you. There are cats over 20 years old!

My moms cat is 21 and she got her when I was 17 and still living at home..
For awhile there it seemed certain that cat would out live me. I've slowed down my wild ways but yes you're right, you never know..
I've got a turtle that will sure out live me..

Good on you mate, for me the ability to show kindness and compassion to animals is the very definition of our humanity .. and it says a lot about character. :)
Thanks @perceptualflaws I can't imagine not trying to help animals in need.. 🙏

Well done you. I can't stand cats but I wouldn't like to see one drown in a drain.
Yeah I've found one in nearly the exact same spot that wasn't so lucky. Not a fun time at all 😔
