The mysterious meow among the hydrangeas ๐ŸŒธ

Meow everyone, friends! ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿ’–
I’m Micina, your four-pawed explorer ๐Ÿพ.
Today, I’m here to tell you a story filled with the scent of hydrangeas andโ€ฆ new friendships.

Yesterday, in the late afternoon ๐ŸŒ…, when the air finally cooled down after a hot, sunny day โ˜€๏ธ, Joy ๐Ÿถ, my humans ๐Ÿšถโ€๐Ÿšถ and I went out for our usual neighborhood walk ๐Ÿก.

As always, we greeted our lovely neighbors ๐Ÿ‘‹, who by now feel more like friends ๐Ÿฅฐ: there are those who smile at us from the gate, those who call us by name, and those who are always ready with a scratch behind the ears. It’s our little daily ritual.

When we reached Axel’s house ๐Ÿถ โ€“ he’s a super friendly dog and a great friend of Joy โ€“ we stopped for a while. Axel and Joy had lots of things to tell each other ๐Ÿ’ฌ, wagging their tails and jumping around ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ• while the humans shared a chat.

It was right at that moment, while the hydrangeas ๐ŸŒธ cast beautiful shadows along the path, that we heard a soft little meow ๐ŸŽถ.
“Meow?” ๐Ÿฑ
A shy meow, almost hidden ๐Ÿ”.

Davide bent down to keep Axel still (he was ready to explore every corner of the garden), while Axel’s humans walked over to the hydrangea bush ๐ŸŒฟ.

๐ŸŒฟ What are Hydrangeas?

A beautiful hydrangea bush.

Hydrangeas ๐ŸŒธ are beloved ornamental shrubs, often seen in gardens and parks. They produce large, fluffy, pom-pom-like flowers in a wide range of colors: from pink ๐Ÿ’— to blue ๐Ÿ’™, white ๐Ÿค to lilac ๐Ÿ’œ. Romantic, elegant, and generous… just like the most beautiful stories ๐Ÿ“–.

And right there, at the base of one of those lush hydrangea bushes ๐ŸŒฟ, under a trembling leaf ๐Ÿƒ, there he was: a tiny kitten ๐Ÿฑ.

He didnโ€™t look scaredโ€ฆ rather, he seemed shy ๐Ÿ™ˆ, as if he was saying: โ€œCan I stay here with you? I could really use a little place of my ownโ€ฆโ€ ๐Ÿ 

โ€œOh noโ€ฆโ€ ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ I whispered with my heart tightening ๐Ÿ’”. At that moment, I thought, โ€œpoor little oneโ€ฆ all alone. Letโ€™s check if his mom is around. If not, weโ€™ll have to wait a bit โณ and find him a family.โ€
We were just ready to take care of him temporarily, when suddenly Axelโ€™s humans lit up with excitement โœจ.
โ€œWeโ€™ve actually been thinking for a while about finding a friend for Axelโ€ ๐Ÿถ, they said, โ€œand we had thought exactly about a kitten. ๐Ÿฑ Incredible!โ€ ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Davide laughed with joy ๐Ÿ˜„ and said a sentence that has now become a saying in our house:
โ€œThe famous kitten distribution system strikes again!โ€ ๐Ÿพโœจ

๐Ÿพ What is the Kitten Distribution System?

Micina explains how the Kitten Distribution System works.

The famous Kitten Distribution System ๐Ÿพ is a playful โ€“ yet surprisingly accurate โ€“ theory ๐Ÿ˜ธ that says: humans donโ€™t really choose kittensโ€ฆ we kittens find them ๐Ÿ”ฎ. Kittens appear at the right place, at the right time ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ, as if they know exactly where they belong. Itโ€™s a little feline mysteryโ€ฆ but it always works! โœจ

I immediately felt relieved ๐Ÿ˜Š: Axelโ€™s humans had that excited look on their faces ๐Ÿฅฐ, eyes sparkling with love ๐Ÿ’– and wonder โœจ. They quickly brought the little one some fresh water ๐Ÿ’ง and a bit of kitten food ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ.

Then they told us a curious thing ๐Ÿค”: Axel usually spends sunny days โ˜€๏ธ in the back yard, where itโ€™s cooler and shady ๐ŸŒณ.
But that day, he had been in the front yard all day long.
And only when Axel came to greet us, the kitten started meowing. Maybe he knew it was the perfect time to be found.

Axel was over the moon ๐ŸŽ‰: he was bouncing with joy ๐Ÿถ๐ŸŽˆ, running back and forth ๐Ÿš€ like an excited puppy.
He clearly wanted to show they were meant to be best friends. ๐Ÿค—
And I knewโ€ฆ it was destiny โœจ.

The next day, we got the sweetest confirmation ๐Ÿ’Œ: Axelโ€™s human sent us three videos ๐ŸŽฅ.

In one video, you could see the little kitten trying to clean himself, and Axel gently offering a paw to help, with heart-melting sweetness.

Then, in the second video, Axel was gently licking the kitten, almost as if to say: โ€œDonโ€™t worry, Iโ€™m here with you now.

As you can see, in the last video, we see the Kitten happily playing on his cushion after taking the probiotics recommended by the vet.

All’s well that ends well. ๐ŸŽ‰

We still donโ€™t know what name theyโ€™ll choose for the new arrival ๐Ÿฑ, but one thing is certain: he has found a wonderful family ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ and a big brother for life ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’—.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Has something like this ever happened to you? ๐Ÿพ

Have you ever met a kitten (or another furry friend ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑ) at the most unexpected moment? โœจ

PS: Sadly, we forgot to take a group photo ๐Ÿ“ธ. But while we wait for the next opportunity, Davide uploaded our individual photos and, thanks to artificial intelligence ๐Ÿค–, created a cute collage ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ. What do you think? How did we turn out? Let us know in the comments! ๐Ÿ’ฌ๐Ÿ˜Š

Update! ๐Ÿพ
It looks like we might have found the first name ideas for the kitten! ๐Ÿ˜ธ
The first one is Burro, because he’s as soft and white as butter ๐Ÿงˆ.
The second is Onigiri, inspired by the cute Japanese rice balls ๐Ÿ™ โ€” his fur is white like rice, and his little spots look just like the seaweed! ๐Ÿ˜ป

What do you think? Which one do you like best? Or do you have other fun suggestions? Let us know in the comments! ๐Ÿ’ฌโœจ
