Guy Finds Stray Kitten And Bonds Hard With Him | The Dodo Soulmates 

When a cat picks you, it's all over, man. It's a different level.....

I've been a dog person all my life. Grew up with 4 dogs, love em. Never cared for cats. When my last dog passed away in 2012 I was in so much pain I swore to never get another dog again. One morning I awoke to meows coming from outside my window. A kitten was crying and it seemed the mom had abandoned him. After a few days and the mom cat never returning, I took in the kitten. I'm now a cat person.

Cats are so underrated. I can't imagine not having one. They're special little creatures

"There's a cat for everybody." yep it's true. I've always been a dog person until I met this teeny tiny stray kitten. I took him to my house later on, and he was the sweetest baby I've ever known. He was never fussy, never scratch or bite. He loves to cuddle. He's one of the best things in my life. Sadly he got sick and passed away though. I cried for days. I couldn't believe this small little cat could make such a huge impact in my life.

“If there’s a cat for me, there’s a cat fo everybody.” So true, just gotta give them a chance

Hearing this guy gush about his cat son is the sweetest thing ever

This story was so adorable. You have to love a guy who gets this attached to a cat.

Thank you for NOT saying, "He's not like a cat. He's like a dog." You recognize he's like a cat and he's special, like a cat! 🙂 Grizzly is a soul cat, who found his match. LOVE.

Cat knew he found his human. In that last photo, you can see this man has a beautiful soul.

A black cat that is not scared of loud noises, loves skate boards, & is super friendly? This is the coolest feline I have ever met... 😺

What an incredible duo! He picked the right human and he picked the right cat! Please be kind to animals, you don’t know when they will have you!!!!!

This is pretty much the best cat video EVER. I love your narrative, your cat's adorable. They say cats pick you. It certainly seems that way with you two!

He literally found a cat version of himself, and became best buds with him.

animals can sense which humans have friendly vibes. they choose you. this little black angel picked this man to be it’s daddy and bff.

I’m a firm believer that animals come to us for a reason. 2 dogs and 3 cats. Different personalities and I just adore them all.

Black cats and gingers...mad affectionate.

Nothing is sweeter then seeing a man showing affection for cats.

screw those people who say black cats are bad omens or cursed or whatever. They're my favorites. it's like having a mini panther.

Black kitties are my favorite. 🥰❤

Growing up, my family and I have had a couple of wonderful dogs, but when it comes down to it, we've always been more into cats. That's not to say we didn't absolutely love our dogs, but I think most people experience deeper connections with either one, or the other, and for us, it was our kitties. We always had 2 or 3 cats as pets, at virtually all times. When I first moved out of my parent's house, as a young adult, one of the first places I lived didn't allow pets, and I couldn't accurately put into words the sensation of feeling incomplete; something I constantly experienced during the 2 years I lived there. When I moved out, I immediately relocated into a 3 bedroom apartment that I shared with a friend, who happened to have 2 cats of his own. It was awesome to once again live in a household with cats, especially considering the fact that one of them successfully bonded with me. Approximately a year later, my friend told me he was moving out to go live with his girlfriend, and (of course) was taking his pets with him. I remember talking with him that night about how much I wanted, and planned, to adopt a cat of my own. I was saddened by the fact I was going to be without a kitty companion yet again.😔 L However, less than 2 days later, I heard some rustling in our apartment and thus went to investigate. Now, my friend's pets were outdoor cats, and he had set up a cat door so that they could come and go as they pleased. But when I got up to check out the source of the noise, I discovered one of my friend's cats was playing with the most beautiful stray kitten, who had follwed him into our apartment. She had the prettiest striped grey and black fur I had ever seen!😁 When she saw me, she instantly froze. We were in the kitchen, so I stealthily tiptoed over to the pantry and grabbed some kitty treats. I then crouched down, with treats in hand, and and attempted to call her over; unsure whether she actually would, or not. It seemed like she was going to bolt, but then my friend's kitty, knowing I was holding treats, came over first, and proceeded to begin eating them out of the palm of my hand...And wouldn't you know it??? The cute little stray kitten followed suit, cautiously coming up to me, and began eating too. Once trust was established I began petting her, and she started purring. When that happened, something inside me just knew...She was my new family member. I went door to door and asked around the neighborhood just to make sure she didn't belong to someone else, which luckily she didn't. And even though she started off as an outdoor kitty, she more or less stayed with me inside my apartment, sleeping with me at the foot of my bed every night.😊 A couple weeks later, my friend moved out, and it was just the 2 of us. I had her for almost 20 years. Looking back, Ms. Pretty (what I named her) still remains the best cat I ever had. I am convinced that when she first showed up back in 2002, she chose me, not the other way around. Combined with the timing, (because just a literal day or two prior, I was telling my roomate, who was moving out and taking his cats with him, that I planned on getting a cat for myself) it truly felt much more than merely coincidental... Much more akin to miraculous. Thank you Ms. Pretty for appearing when you did. I will forever be grateful for having such a wonderful kitty as part of my family, for as long as I did. ❤👍😊👍❤

My first cat picked me, at the shelter. After I said hello to him and his three siblings, I bent down and looked below at some other kittens, and my little guy came over and swatted me in the head, as if to say “Stop looking, I’m right here!” I took him home that day and spent 15 joyous years with him.

Guy: "I've been thinking about expanding the workforce in the skate shop." Cat: "congratulations, I'm hired."

LOL that kitty was doing his full-on 'take me home' dance

I've had cats since babyhood. At my height I had 8, now only one, sadly. The memories I have of these incredible creatures still makes my heart just ache. When going thru an eventual divorce due to alcoholism, Tyler, my 20 lb. black and white tuxedo, would sit with me and lick my tears away. But an even finer memory of him: he had kittens with my female tuxedo, Brookie. Whenever she went to eat or just take a break from 6 babies, HE immediately went to those kittens and stayed with them, cleaned them, and did not leave them until Brookie returned. Some fathers are better than others!

These videos are proof soulmates don't have to be romantic.

I believe everyone has a soulmate. This guy’s soulmate is this cute little black kitty☺️

He was a cute kitten and is a gorgeous cat. Thanks for rescuing him.

seeing men be loving. gentle and kind towards animals warms my heart like NOTHING else

Watching this skater dude talk about his cat and just utterly gush and coo about how stoked and radical this lil puffball is...pure serotonin.

He didn't find a cat..he found a soul and a best friend..in a cat suit. Bless them both.

I have a black stray that's been visiting daily for 1 year - he is trying to trust and this baby of yours is sooo adorable, your a super terrific man & bless you, abundantly & I had to rewatch, many thanks...

Looks like a match made in heaven! I'm happy that you two found each other!

He was sent to be your floof angel , There is a cat for everybody who deserves one.

Not only is cute, polite, and beautiful but he also loves skateboards. Who wouldn’t love him instantly

He's precious. I love the bromance.

This guy was hopeing this would happen to him one day. He's so happy

Nothing is sexier than a man who is kind to animals. Thank you for being his friend/protector.

This happened to my sister, walks in to a human society wanting to adopt a grey tabby cat, walks out with a black gentle men who chose her not her choice, but after the 6th time jumping on her shoulder begging for her attention. He is 3 years old and they are the best buds.

Same happened to me one time and the kitten was soooooo engaging, I headed home with him, without any second thought ! That cat was a "CATDOG" and the best animal of my life I ever had !!!

Universe is purring...such a great thing to see. 💚

When a cat decides you’re their person it just hits different. A few months after buying a house, this little calico cat just walked up to us in our open garage. She rolled over onto her back because she wanted tummy scratches and immediately tried to climb me because she wanted to be held. I held her for a while and then she walked right up to my husband further back into the garage and stared at him until he picked her up. Thinking a cat that friendly had to belong to some neighbor, we didn’t feed her for about four months. She kept showing up every time we left the house. So we started feeding her and now she lives in our garage because she also isn’t phased by loud tools. On nice days, we attach her little harness to the runner we have set up in the yard for our German Shepherd and our Pibble while my husband works on cars in the driveway. Despite not being a cat person, I see him talking to her constantly. And sneaking her extra treats when he thinks I’m not looking. Like I said. When a cat picks you, it really does hit different. Especially if you think you aren’t a cat person. Which is why we now have a second cat in the garage because my husband fell in love with her and didn’t like the way the neighborhood male cats were looking at his youngest daughter. His word choice, not mine. Thanks for coming to my TED talk about how my husband is slowly turning into a crazy cat lady and I’m enabling it.

This dude found a black cat, and said STOKED instead of “omg it’s the cursed cat!” Where’s his shop so I can give him my business?!

Black cats are so sweet!

And the best thing is that Grizzly is just as grateful, and it shows in how he acts with his new person.

We had a drive in basement. My son said “Mom, I think there’s a cat in our basement.” It was winter and sleeting. I come home late from work and the products on the workshop shelves were all over the floor. I looked up and there were two huge green eyes looking at me. I was startled! It was a little black kitten just like yours! I took some Dinty Moores beef stew and set it on the floor with some water. The next day it was gone. The can was spotless. I was off that day. I got a litter box and food. I coaxed him upstairs with bacon. The next thing you know he was on my lap purring. We called him “The Minxter”. He lived 11 years and died in my son’s arms.

The joy of having a cat in your life is beyond measure

Grizzly is a handsome cat. Im glad he found you Justin.

I loved seeing the kitty on the skateboard. That was so cute 🥰

This is a special cat He doesnt get scared by loud sounds He wasnt scared when he was found And more

Grizzly clearly loves you, just as you do him. You can see it in his eyes and the way he touches your face. And, regardless of his backstory being abandoned and hiding under a bus, he trusts YOU - enough to lie down by your feet and know you will never hurt him. You've made a life long bond.

He’s super sweet…Amazing

You and that gorgeous micro black panther are so lucky to have found each other!! Thank you for taking such good care of him and loving him. You are a very good "black panther" daddy.

This it truly the most darling story ever! Any man that loves cats is a total "keeper"!!!

I wish more guys were like this, people are naturally drawn to someone who is kind. The cat looked like it was lost, and probably would have had a miserable life without the kind guy.

What a beautiful bond they have.

Que belleza de pequeña pantera!!!,es un regalo del cielo para ti.

I love how sometimes it seems like cats show up in someones life exactly when they're needed

You don't find or adopt cats...they pick you. Its special and an amazing feeling.

You both deserve long happy lives.

My son found a tiny black kitten weak and dying in a field surrounded by huge birds that clearly wanted to eat him. He brought him home and after a whole lot of sleepless nights keeping him warm and feeding him kitten formula and giving him eye drops for his crusted eyes, he survived. He’s now lovingly nicknamed “Bird Bait.”

People say it’s bad luck when a black cat crosses your path!!! This guy was the luckiest person to have a black cat cross his path!!!

“It really blows my mind , that there is a cat for everyone “. Says the skateboarder dude! 💕😺

YOU ARE BLESSED ! 😸❤️

So The EVIDENCE Is In... The 2 (Two) Of You Deserve Each Other!

Notice how his body hair transforms from scruffy and dry to so lush. shiny and healthy as he grows. He's one cat that actually is much cuter now than as a kitten. What a loving gentle personality also.

If you take in a cat down on his luck he will never forget it.

Oh, I'm so happy for both of you!!! Grizzly is just what you needed, and you're the same for him. Wishing the 2 of you many years together! 😍

It just doesn't get better than this! Adorable!

I had a black cat named Boo-Boo who was my soul mate for 19 years. I buried him at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary because he deserved the best after all he gave to me all those years. BLACK CATS are the BEST!! Soooo happy for this dude! Here's to many happy years together!

There are few things in this world better, more satisfying than when a cat chooses to love you.

Yo tengo un gatito negro igualito y es muy cariñoso, me acompaña cuando estoy leyendo y ronronea y le gusta que lo acaricie, muchas felicidades y bendiciones a Justin y Grizzly 😘😘👏👏👍👍🙏🙏

Some days are better than others...THAT was the day your Luck turned and you met your little soul mate...Winner Winner !

Good enough to make a grown man cry 😅 , good to know people help strays in a really competing world 🎉

This proves that a black cat crossing your path isn't bad luck, it's the best luck! ❤🐾

When he said there’s a cat for everyone I felt that!!! These videos make me feel so happy ❤️🥰❤️🥰

😍🥰🤩 I have cats and love cats but never met a panther like Grizzly! Just adorable! Congratulations to you both. ❤

If there's a cat like this for me then there's a cat for everybody..best line ever

Black cats are so underrated, they are the sweetest and most loving little animals. I love black cats they are my favorite.🖤🐈

Being a pet lover and a skater I couldn’t love this more. 😻

Cutest thing I’ve ever seen! I love the bond between them. God bless! 😻😻😻

I found my cat outside a restaurant I was working at. He toddled up and cried until I fed him chicken. I thought he was 6 or 8 weeks because he was so big but the vet told me he wasn't more than 2 weeks old. Needless to say he's an absolute unit of a cat. I love him he's like a whole baby and weighs 3xs as much.

I just love the expression men have when a cat has decided to adopt them. This story is beyond wonderful.

Absolutely beautiful ❤️!! . You're a wonderful person ❤️!! She loves you so much. The bond between both of you is absolutely precious.

May God Bless You...and always gift You lucky,⭐🙏⭐

What a lucky pairing. Not only has this guy done the right thing in just caring for another being, but he’s also found a long lasting friend.

Aww a black kitty! The guy who saves the baby kitty is so nice!

Aw love this man for saving the kitty, and giving the best life ever.

Fantastic story. Reinforces the saying that we don't puck them, they choose us.

I found my "little black kitty" in a plastic bag in a Walmart parking lot 10 years ago. Today she is "Sabel" and I have never bonded so with an animal. I have had many cats over the years and she is the only one that has slept on my pillow every night and never missed a night in all this time. And I love her ....

A gentleman with tattoos, doing woodwork with a black kitty on his shoulder........that's kitty love💜💜💜

He just love his daddy

Yep, the bond and companionship you can have with a cat is as strong as any other relationship. We are blessed to have such wonderful companions . I Just lovely seeing this !

It is hard not to bond with such an adorable little furriend!!!!!!

I adopted a black cat too, “Stanley”. I found him one day living under a dumpster. Best thing I’ve ever done in my life. We have such a special bond like you and your kitty. He is 18 now and still going strong! I just wish more people were enlightened on how you can form a super tight bond with a kitty friend.

I am now the owner of a black cat that I raised since it was a kitten. Best boy ever. I never owned a more affectionate pet in my life, and I've bonded very closely with many cats and dogs. Your cat reminds me so much of mine.

He's gorgeous and he's smart and loving! I fell in love with him too as soon as I seen him at a sweet beautiful boy he is and I'm so glad that you saved him!❤️🐾❤️

You're lucky, dude. I basically had the same situation almost 30 years ago. I was a beer salesman working my route in a rural area. I stopped at a store in the middle of nowhere and a little black cat was hanging out by the front door. She was extremely friendly and really lovable. I went in the store and got the weekly order, careful not to let the cat inside. On leaving the store, I asked if the cat belonged to the store owners granddaughter. He said it didn't belong to him, that someone must've dropped it off in the country. It happens quite often where I live. So, I was just newly married and we didn't have any kids or pets and I had always been a cat lover, and I decided to take her home with me. I was driving a pickup truck with a cap on the back end, so I put her in the bed and rode around with the cat in the back for the rest of my workday and then drove that truck home. That was the beginning of a beautiful relationship. We were together for 18 years. She's been gone for 12 years and I miss her every day. We've had other cats since she died, but I never bonded with any of them like I did with my buddy, Shadow. Like Grizzly, she was with me everywhere and when the kids came along, she loved and protected them like they were her own. Cherish every moment you have with Grizzly. You'll never find another one like him. It's like a gift from God.

He's very social. Also very intelligent. That cat absolutely gets you and LOVES you. You sir, are a cat person.

I'm Very, very impressed with this cat riding a skateboard!! Not typical kitty activity. Grizzly is just a wonderful cat overall, and flourishes from your care & companionship.

This story is like destiny. In a past life you were probably the cat and Grizzly was the human. Now you both have come full circle. Thank you sm for sharing 😺❤️
