Fishermen pull a swimming kitten out of the water, still processing what just happened, when a second kitten leaps in the lake and starts paddling toward them to be saved

Who knew the guardian angels of a couple of kittens would be two fishermen far out on the water? I can't honestly call them "lucky", because it's obvious that the beginning of their story, before they were saved, is a harsh tale of abandonment.

The useful part

Who knew the guardian angels of a couple of kittens would be two fishermen far out on the water? I can't honestly call them "lucky", because it's obvious that the beginning of their story, before they were saved, is a harsh tale of abandonment. No couple of kittens is found in the middle of nowhere, only nature surrounds them, and they know to seek humans' help to stay alive.

How it works

  • Whenever I see a story of kittens abandoned in the middle of nowhere, it makes me angry, I have to admit.
  • There are so many, so many options for a person to consider before abandoning such helpless lives to their fates.
  • Finding the kittens a forever home, or giving them to a shelter, are much better options than outright abandoning the kittens.
  • It makes me boil just thinking of a person who takes kittens, intentionally, and drives far away to leave them in a forest, so god forbid they will also not have a chance to be found.

What to take from it

Details worth keeping

I don't know if I'd label these two orange kittens completely "lucky". Not ready for the responsibility of adoption? They didn't just stumble across a couple of fishermen out in the open.
