Although the internet is awash with cute cat content, let’s face it: these furry little animals don’t always have the best reputation when it comes to being warm and cuddly to their owners. As dog owners are quick to report, dogs are the animals that are truly man’s best friend. They are loyal, affectionate quick to lend a helping hand (or paw, as it were). Still, whoever said that cats are fickle never met the kitty in the clip below.
As the video begins, it’s clear the little guy’s owner is simply running a bath for herself. Though it’s unclear whether the owner is acting for the camera, something about the sounds she’s making set the kitty off—and it quickly springs into action. Running up to the edge of the tub, it begins meowing and clambering over the edge to try and get to its owner. Even though cats are notorious for hating water, this little guy is willing to do whatever it takes to protect its mom.
The video continues with the owner stretching her hand out towards her kitty to assure it that everything is ok. Still, the message seems to be lost as the cat lightly takes the hand in its mouth and desperately tries to pull it out of the tub. After slipping off the hand on the first attempt, the cat makes an even bolder move: it jumps all the way onto the edge of the tub, balancing precariously, and tries again to pull its owner out of the tub by the wrist. What a hero!
By the end of the clip, the owner can’t help but laugh when she realizes what her kitty is doing. Aside from simply being adorable, this little guy is doing a lot to rehabilitate the image of cats everywhere. Maybe they don’t just see us the people who feed them and clean up their litter, maybe the connection there is much deeper than we can see. At the very least, it is for this kitty.
All jokes aside, this video is hilarious and so cute at the same time—and it needs to be seen on its own to really be appreciated. As it turns out, our kitties may have much bigger hearts than we give them credit for.
