There’s a reason cats are dubbed the unofficial mascot of the internet, as they manage to capture our hearts and attention like no one else. They’re no less captivating in real life, too – it’s the cuteness you just can’t resist.
Like in this story of a kitten, a real fluffball, who, within seconds, enchanted her rescuers to bring her home. Things got even cuter when she found an unlikely friend.

It’s no secret that the internet loves animal content. Cute videos of fluffy kittens, clumsy dogs, playful monkeys, innocent looks of baby elephants, and other animals online have a way of winning people’s hearts.
Apparently, it’s because animal content tends to trigger the brain’s pleasure centers – it releases oxytocin, also known as the “love hormone.” It promotes feelings of happiness and bonding, thus making such content irresistible for us.
Today’s article, as you can already guess, is also going to try to force your brain to release oxytocin. Well, it probably won’t have to try that hard, as the content is definitely very wholesome.
The story starts with the OP one day lying in their bed and hearing a faint meowing. They went outside and found a little kitten, 5 feet up in a tree. The author assumed that this little creature must have fallen off the roof, where a stray cat had babies, and now it was stuck and scared.

Since the original poster had a good heart, they picked up the kitten from the tree and brought her home. And that’s how they ended up with a new pet.
Talk about the cat distribution system in action! If you haven’t heard about it, it’s a popular idea that says that cats come into people’s lives in the most unexpected times and ways. This phenomenon was born and mostly is discussed online; it isn’t like a scientific thing or anything like that, but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t manifest in people’s lives for real.
Just take a look at today’s story – the OP became the owner of the most adorable little kitten when it literally fell from the sky (or roof) into their life.

But there’s more to the story – and it turns even sweeter! Turns out, the family the kitten joined already had a large dog. Since the feline is one of the tiniest creatures you will ever see, you would think there would be a problem when the dog is far from small. Yet, when the pets met, an unbreakable bond was built.
Now, the cat follows the dog everywhere, and he takes any chance to guard her in his large embrace. Basically, they’re best friends now, which is beyond cute. While in various media, cats and dogs are often portrayed as mortal or at least simple enemies, in this case, the trope doesn’t work.
In fact, in reality, canines and felines are friends fairly often. Especially if both animals are well socialized, it’s pretty likely that they’ll get along. And that leads to stories like the one discussed today – something that melts people’s hearts, as netizens’ reactions show. What can we say – our hearts have melted too!
Their story melted netizens’ hearts and hopefully will continue to do so with updates on the pair’s page
