For over a month, a pregnant stray cat made the front of a restaurant her constant haunt, her goal? A safe haven for her soon-to-arrive litter.
Her determination not only won over the restaurant owner but also led to the birth of four cute kittens inside the eatery.
The owner shared that every morning, like clockwork, the cat would be at the doorstep. She’d try to sneak in whenever she saw people and, if left unaided, would attempt to pry open the glass door with her paws.
Initially, the sight was both comical and touching to the owner, who was hesitant to let her in due to hygiene concerns and his own pregnant wife’s apprehensions about a stray cat.
Still, the expectant feline never gave up. She was a fixture at the door, undeterred by any attempts to shoo her away. It puzzled the owner why she chose his place among many.
Eventually, the pregnant cat’s plight touched the heart of the restaurant owner’s wife, herself an expectant mother, who couldn’t bear to see another in such a plight.
After a discussion with her husband, they agreed to let the cat in. But what happened next was unexpected – the cat strutted in and jumped straight onto a table where a couple was dining.
Far from being upset, the couple actually petted the cat. The owner quickly intervened, politely escorting her out to avoid any mess.
The cat, however, was persistent, meowing outside, as if to protest, “How can a big restaurant like this not make room for one small cat?”
Eventually, the cat left but then paused, reconsidering for her unborn kittens. She returned to the doorstep, meowing persistently until the owner’s heart melted, and he let her back in.
The owner noted that she was almost due to give birth. Despite fears of disruption, he couldn’t stand to see her in distress outside. Surveillance revealed her month-long vigil, following him in hopes of finding shelter.
The owner noticed a collar on the cat, suggesting she had a previous owner, and initially resisted adopting her. Unable to find her original owner, he finally decided to take her in.
But once adopted, she became a regular wanderer, only returning for meals. Initially desperate to enter, the restaurant became just a stopover for her.
Curious about her activities, the owner tried to follow her, but she evaded him, returning only for feeding times.
As the cat’s delivery neared, the owner prepared a nest for her. She quickly settled in, and the following day went into labor. After a grueling five hours, she delivered four kittens, tenderly caring for them.
The owner, ensuring their wellbeing, had a vet check them over – all were healthy. The cat’s journey was a triumph – finding not just a safe haven for her kittens but a loving home for herself.
