Guy Notices Wet Fur In The Bushes After Storm And His Heart Melts When It Starts To Move

The sky had thrown a wild tantrum that day, with hail pounding down across the hills.

When the storm finally calmed, Caleb went out for a stroll, just to see how everything held up.

As he wandered through the soggy grass, he saw a little lump that didn’t look like it belonged there.

At first, he thought maybe it was just a clump of wet fur left behind by the storm. But as he stepped closer, his heart sank.

It wasn’t just fur. It was two tiny kittens, soaked to the bone and shivering like crazy.

Poor little things must’ve been left behind by their mom in all the chaos. Maybe she thought she’d gathered up all her babies when she moved them to safety, but somehow these two got missed.

Caleb scooped them up and brought them home. Once inside, he wrapped them up in blankets and got them warm and cozy.

The kittens clung to the warmth like they knew they were safe at last. Caleb set them up with some food and a soft bed, and they could finally rest without fear.

And boy, did they need it. They slept and slept, trying to get their strength back.

Those first couple of days, the kittens were a bit unsure of Caleb. Can you blame them? But it didn’t take long before they realized he was their hero.

Soon, they wouldn’t let him out of their sight. Caleb pretty much lived on the couch for two weeks straight with them curled up beside him.

Wherever he went, they went. It was like they decided he was their new safe place.

When they were healthy again, it was like watching two little sparks of life light up.

Cici and Nunu (that’s what Caleb named them) turned into playful, curious bundles of energy.

They explored everything, but still wanted to stick close to Caleb. When he finally let them venture outdoors, they had no interest in going off on their own.

Nope, they preferred to ride around on his shoulders like two furry little co-pilots, happy to see the world from up high while staying close to their favorite person.

Caleb couldn’t go far without people stopping to smile or laugh, and before long, he’d gained a bit of a reputation around town, as he shared in a YouTube video:

“[I] quickly gained a reputation for the crazy one having the kittens on my shoulder.”

Caleb’s an artist, so he spends a lot of time outside, sketching and painting. And guess who’s always right there with him? Yep, Cici and Nunu.

They snuggle up on his lap, climb up on his shoulders, or find a cozy spot under his chin to nap while he works. It’s like they’re his tiny, furry assistants.

They’ve grown into big, happy cats over the years, but their love for Caleb hasn’t changed one bit.

Even now, they still scramble onto his shoulders whenever they can, even if they don’t quite fit the way they used to. They’re a little family, living their sweet life together.

Cici and Nunu still wrestle, snuggle, and explore every inch of their home, always with Caleb nearby. And honestly, it’s pretty perfect.

Every day feels like a new adventure, and no matter how big they get, Cici and Nunu never stop showing just how much they adore their dad.
