EEEEE!!! I saw the kitten swarm last night! They’re so freakin’ cute!!!
Careful, a swarm can skeletonize a man in seconds!
Bless that unbelievably American man and his crocs. Getting all of them into the car was surely a non-trivial endeavor.
Still sitting here imagining a guy staring at a milling crowd of kittens and eventually resorting to partially rolling down one of his car’s windows and hucking them one by one through the gap.
I would seriously love to know AND see the video of how he got over a dozen kittens into his truck.
“The tactical Honda was not prepared for this”. I may never get over that line!
Kitten rescue guy should be nominated for any and every award possible and deserves each one. He could have just taken the one but to take all thirteen😱😮, that’s true heart. Favorite post from his FB post talks about what he takes to the range – all these different guns, supplies, and 13 kittens. 🤣😆 Looking at the variety of kittens, I suspect they may be 2 different litters. Who ever dumped them, hmmmm muttering unprintable words. The cow rescue is amazing too, who’d ever thunk a cow could manage with a prosthetic leg. Those owls are my spirit animals, love how they attacked the camera.
I dream of being ambushed like that man. He’s a saint, as everyone else has noted. What a lovely story.
Can’t wait to explore the other links later.
I dream of being ambushed *by* that man…
Does he also say, “Soft-heartedness sucks”? 😉
Tara, he does!
He obviously didn’t mean it.
Imagine a house with 13 kittens in it. The squeakinks would be epic.
Plus if you look at the later videos, it seems he also has a few young children AND some dogs. Talk about total chaos right about now in his house.
Oh yeah, you can tell by his tone, he ain’t foolin’ nobody. He’s a big old softie. That’s why we’re all called “suckers.” We know that tone only too well!
Gahhhhhhhhh!! Thanks so much for posting the kitten attack follow up videos. I saw the ambush last night and desperately wanted a follow up. That man is a saint! So many mews!! 😻
The burrowing owls are so intense. It’s like they’re on speed. The Nir rescue story is si wonderful. Amazing how he took to that prosthetic so quickly and easily. He LOVES his human.
Yes and yes. I loved both these stories, along with the lullaby cat.
