Guy Wakes Up From A Nap To A Stray Kitten Sleeping On His Stomach, Decides To Keep It

It’s not how we meet someone, it’s who we meet. And in the case of one guy from Canberra, Australia, he made a pal he didn’t even know he needed. According to Ali Safa, he never really had pets and he’s a bit of a loner so he didn’t have many friends, too. But this one fell straight into his lap.

When Ali Safa casually went outside to enjoy the day, he wasn’t expecting anything much. “I was just checking my phone, nothing much really,” he told Bored Panda. And before he knew it, he fell asleep.

When he woke up from his nap, he wasn’t alone. “At first, I thought it was a rat,” Ali recalled. “But by the time I realized she was a kitten, I didn’t care about whether she has fleas or not, because if she did I probably already got it, so whatever.”

He whipped out his phone and took a couple of pictures. After uploading them to reddit, people immediately started asking questions about how the kitty was doing and if there were any new developments.

So Ali wrote a few updates to inform them.

“She is the most fun cat I ever played with, and the most stubborn/attention-seeker as well. I legit don’t get to do one thing in the house without her roaming around me, and I’ve given up on training her to sleep in her little bed I bought and now we share our bed, and her little bed is just collecting dust in the corner of my room.” Ali has already named her – Angel.

I'm a visual editor at Bored Panda. I kickstart my day with a mug of coffee bigger than my head, ready to tackle Photoshop. I navigate through the digital jungle with finesse, fueled by bamboo breaks and caffeine kicks. When the workday winds down, you might catch me devouring bamboo snacks while binging on the latest TV show, gaming or I could be out in nature, soaking up the tranquility and communing with my inner panda.

You have to ignore the thought of fleas on animals - animal fleas only live on animals, not humans. You may get the odd bite - but treat the animal and you are fine. My cat used to get fleas occasionally - odd bite on the ankles. In younger years I used to catch and bring wildlife home - a bit like our cat - lol. Baby rabbits I caught by hand, a hare once (they are huge) a little fox once. hedgehogs and shrews. Occasionally baby lambs to play with in the garden - they were heavy.. My dad made me take them back. I was 10

I would have been heartbroken - as I am not allowed pets in my lease. But would so have wanted to keep her. However I would have ensured she went to the local vet asap - then on to the local cat shelter - or vice-versa. But would have given her many cuddles first. Am the same - Sod the fleas - this kitten needs cuddles and care. Would rather havecat fleas (which can be easily exterminated). I absolutely would have taken it in for a day or 2 whilst trying to find the best place for her to be taken care of.

I love how chill this guy is. "Oh, there's a kitten sleeping on my lap. I guess I have a cat now." Angel is adorable and clearly picked the perfect human.
