Stephen Austin, a resident of Detroit, just moved into a new home and has begun to hear continual meowing outside at night. He searched for the source of the wailing noises as an animal lover and owner of two cats.
It happened only a few hours ago, in the afternoon. He and his girlfriend were able to detect the intruder into the night’s quiet. In front of the home, a little striped head protruded from the bushes. The kitty braced himself and displayed himself whole when he saw Stephen with his lover.
“She approached us as we approached,” Stephen recounts, “but she was too eager and afraid.”
The infant was alone and terrified, but she craved care at the same time. Stephen gently took her in his arms and placed her on his shoulder.
The small shy girl calmed down and even purred gently while he stroked her as if she recognized she was in excellent hands.
After speaking with the neighbors, they determined that the kitten was most likely born on the streets and had somehow fallen behind its mother.
Steven’s girlfriend agreed to look after the cat while he was still moving and settling into his new house.
She took the baby to the vet, gave her eye drops, and treated her for fleas. “My friend fed her as soon as they got home from the vet. She was hungry.”
The striped girl dived right into the bowl of food and forgot about everything in the world.
Satisfied, she wanted to feel love and warmed herself on human knees. She purred softly and charmingly as she was scratched under her chin.
She was absolutely satisfied and protected when she went to bed that night.
Steven, coincidentally, had a similar experience with another kitty that appeared out of nowhere. “I went through this with one of my animals 15 years ago,” he recalls. “It’s a pleasure to introduce my new feline lord.”
They had not expected a new pet to accompany them to their new home, and they are grateful that the small cat picked them to be her people.
The adorable striped girl makes up for missing affection and nutrients by embracing, eating, and purring ceaselessly in delight.
