Kittens start opening their eyes after seven or ten days since they’re born. And when they do it, just like any other baby, they don’t see much. Now, imagine a tiny kitten with its eyes still glued and with an umbilical cord attached crying outside. This is how the story began.
Fortunately for the tiny meow, a man heard the newborn kitten’s cry and started wondering where his mother was. But when he realized that he was looking at an orphaned kitten, he scooped it out and soon became the cat’s dad.
Check out how awesome this cat is two months after being rescued!

On his imgur account, the man posted a few photos of the kitten, telling the whole story: ‘I was heading to my service van to go to my first call for work four weeks ago when I heard crying.’ Then he even did this thing.

He found the kitten in the tall weeds and ‘waited for some time to see if the mama would come back and she never did.’ So, he did what any kind man would do: give the tiny fluff a home, a family, and a name…

‘I picked him up and brought him inside to the wife,’ said Musser. In the house, he took a better look at the kitten and saw that it even had its umbilical cord attached. The eyes were still closed and the kitten was quite hungry!

After eating the milk, this little fella snoozed for a while on his savior’s shoulder. The man didn’t dare move, so he just sat on the couch and waited for the tiny fluff to wake up on his own. You won’t believe what happened next!

‘Shobo the cat has taken it upon himself to take care of the kitten,’ said bmusser in one of his updates on his furry babies. Then, it seems that Shobo was a great mentor for Casper, as he started doing this…

‘Four weeks in and he has already started drinking from the dish and using the litter box,’ said the man. We think it has to do with Shobo teaching him a few things on how to cat 101. And that’s not all!

The man also posted a photo of his boy playing with Casper: ‘he and our son have become best friends.’ The tiny, fragile kitten is now a young cat who hasn’t yet realized he’s too big to sleep on his dad’s shoulder!
