Motherless Kittens Walk Up to Father and Son for Help

Source: LoveMeow

Two little motherless kittens walked up to a father and son in a scrapyard, looking for help…

One of the kittens poked out his head when he saw the young man.



“My father and I were collecting some equipment for our new business at a scrapyard and we found this kitten and its sibling all by themselves. After looking around for the mother, we found her deceased nearby unfortunately,” Brendan Miller shares with Love Meow.

The kittens were a bit shy at first, but the little tabbies were all alone and hungry. They slowly walked up to their human friends and tried to get some sort of contact.

“They warmed up to us after a while, they seemed to like the camera.”

Another kitten also came out from hiding.

There's a reason I don't go to the spca or pet stores.

And so smart. I swear that kitties can read the invisible "Softie/Sucker" tattoos some us have on our foreheads.

They would have had me at "Hello." I once commented that it takes me about 30 seconds to fall in love with a kitten, and someone responded, "Why so long?"

because they're in great shape and displayed no fear of people.

I'm glad they were found by people who took them in where they will be adopted. Healthy, social little cuties like those will go fast when they're old enough.

... even after 3 months... (sigh)

Thanks.

When you see those eyes that say, "Will you love me?", it means you've seen them before. I guess that's a good motto for the human race. If everyone saw past the human qualities, we'd be more loving...

But, never on the level of these little guys.
