That thing would have been a two for 1 taco

He is a rare and beautiful Flame point Siamese--highly intelligent, non-stop purring, playful and loyal lovers. My baby, Ruby is my crown jewel princess, that I treasure with all my heart. You hit Siamese jackpot when Elio found you!!!

@@realbdl4327 no, he would of been ran over. That’s the life of stray dogs and cats over there

I thought you were going to say he was standing by the keyboard telling you what to write! Love your story.

I was wondering what you were naming him and you chose the classic yes

Yes, the same thing happened to me, except that mine was a calico in 2017. I rescued her, and she returns the favour tenfold.

Squirt's story: Back in 2008, a young orange cat started showing up in my yard. We live in an area that had several pets dropped off during the economic crash of 2008-2009. We called him Captain Underpants at first because his orange and white colors looked like he was wearing tighty whities. We tried to adopt him, but he wouldn't let us catch him. He went through a brutally cold Michigan winter with food everyday from my wife and a shelter from me. He wouldn't come inside though. Somehow, he made it through the winter. During the spring and summer of 2009 he would jump the fence and come sit on our laps while we were sitting around the pool. The more people, the more likely it was that he would come visit. We started calling him Squirt because he would squirt 'mark' all over our pool area and drive our other cat's nuts. We finally caught (trapped) him in August of 2009 and nearly killed him by trying to get him healthy and fixed. After 8 weeks of him near death because of parasites, he finally got healthy. Once he got inside and got healthy he became the most loving cat you could imagine. He's still with us today at a guestimated age of 16-17.

@@krisgoldsmith476 wonderful story ♥

"with its bags packed" that's adorable 😍😂

@jonquil6624 Resistance is futile. 😻

@Benjamin David Lurie And you have a problem with that? You’re insane.

@Benjamin David Lurie I didn't know any other way to say it so.. I said cute but I'm not wrong about it though.

@@joshualeland9838dont listen to that weirdo 😭🤣 cute is the most fitting word in describing any cat!

Same here! I always love dogs and my son really wanted a cat. The cat attached himself to me the first night and I have been his person ever since. They are so affectionate and loving. He’s more affectionate and clingy than my dog that passed away a few years ago. 💗

People who think they don't like cats have never had one. I had an elderly neighbor years ago who found out I had 3 cats, and she told me "Oh, I don't like cats," with her face all pinched. After a few months, I would hafta go looking for my cat Peaches at _their_ house, because she would go over to visit, and they'd let her inside. "We just love Peach," she told me. Poor woman spent most of her life not knowing how lovely cats are, and sweet Peaches won her over!

@@plaidpanda Peaches heard her say "I don't like cats!" and she said "hold my catnip!"

Always Love this kind of story..😺

LOVE your story!

He was probably abandoned by his mother. That’s a response from cats who weren’t properly weaned.

@Benjamin David Lurie No, I’m not..sorry 💙

@@mimiglamz22 how could you? such a lovely beautifull lady

@@dmp1520 Yes, how dare she live a normal life lol.

@@RedRoseSeptember22 indeed lol but yeah these black queens drive me insane!

Yes haha! Fear and also wish lmao.

...and you help them ...! 😺🐕🐇🦆🐢🐈‍⬛🐎

No fear! Opportunity! lol

He looks pure too. Because of the ginger coloration being 75-80% male they are difficult to breed, which makes them rare. I was overjoyed to adopt my kitten who was deemed not up to breed standards--even rarer to find a female, but she is perfect to me.

He's a "Turkish Van Cat". I owned this wonderful breed! Please Goggle!

Indeed it is

@Benjamin David Lurie The only one who’s vicious is you!

Well, I could do without the videos pretending reptiles and insects feel affection for us.

Honestly, these videos are cute, but The Dodo is pretty harmful. They cite Peta commonly as experts in the field, they encourage human-wildlife interactions (and if they aren't trying to do that, they are failing by not disclaiming the dangers of such interactions), and they constantly anthropomorphise animals to such an extent that taking their example could lead to dangerous situations.

The Dodo never disappoints us with their content.... Unfortunately the comments DO continue to disappoint me, though. *No, I don't like some of their videos either (the biggest example being the one with the girl having tea parties with that giant Python), especially when the dangers are downplayed and ANY suggestion of cute/innocence is exploited. Some of them remind me of the way South Park portrayed PETA - people who love animals SO much that they actually are IN love with them, marry them, AND start "families" with them - deformed, inter-species children and all! But considering this isn't some new trend for the Dodo or really any international "rescue" organizations that post similarly-styled videos, I can't say the videos are "disappointing" as if I wasn't expecting them or anything... I just know not to watch them! I literally subscribe for the cats, that's it. Dog stories are usually enjoyable too, but I've been partial to cats for like my whole 30 years of life.

He looks like a flame point Siamese! Just like my old kitty 🐱💕
