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.

People were incredibly happy to see the beginning of a new friendship

I'd have been thrilled to have been chosen like that! Beautiful and clever kitten - she chose very well. Happy, happy life to you both.

Seriously, cats are experts at snuggling up to sleeping people without ever waking them up. It’s like some super ninja skill they are all born with.

it was always the purrrrr that woke me up, not her or him, jumping on my bed or climbing around on me to find the coziest spot, or kneading my leg for half an hour, no... just the purrrrrr afterwards when s/he found her/his position

I'm a true believer that animals choose you, especially cats. Shes a lucky little girl to have a such a wonderful human.

Beautiful friendship. I enjoy this story also because it hits home for me. My dad is also named Ali, and his first cat’s name was also Angel! I think it’s sweet how they found each other and how quickly this man opened his heart and home to the little stranger. A lot of people wouldn’t.

I like how the person stated "he found a cat" I think it was more the other way that the cat found you. I am glad to hear the cat has found a wonderful home with a great owner. She picked the right person to take a nap with.

My big cat was a kitten of a stray cat who was killed by a car, so I ended up with one of the small one. And my second cat was thrown by some jerk right in my garden... Sometimes they don't choose us, but we choose to save them . And they are amazing anyway, two years later they are still my number ones <3 IMG_201702...3e6118.jpg
