The mysterious meow among the hydrangeas ๐ธ
Meow everyone, friends! ๐ฑ๐
I’m Micina, your four-pawed explorer ๐พ.
Today, I’m here to tell you a story filled with the scent of hydrangeas andโฆ new friendships.
Yesterday, in the late afternoon ๐
, when the air finally cooled down after a hot, sunny day โ๏ธ, Joy ๐ถ, my humans ๐ถโ๐ถ and I went out for our usual neighborhood walk ๐ก.
As always, we greeted our lovely neighbors ๐, who by now feel more like friends ๐ฅฐ: 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 ๐ถ 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 ๐ฌ, wagging their tails and jumping around ๐๐ while the humans shared a chat.
It was right at that moment, while the hydrangeas ๐ธ cast beautiful shadows along the path, that we heard a soft little meow ๐ถ.
“Meow?” ๐ฑ
A shy meow, almost hidden ๐.
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 ๐ฟ.
๐ฟ What are Hydrangeas?

Hydrangeas ๐ธ 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 ๐ to blue ๐, white ๐ค to lilac ๐. Romantic, elegant, and generous… just like the most beautiful stories ๐.
And right there, at the base of one of those lush hydrangea bushes ๐ฟ, under a trembling leaf ๐, there he was: a tiny kitten ๐ฑ.
He didnโt look scaredโฆ rather, he seemed shy ๐, as if he was saying: โCan I stay here with you? I could really use a little place of my ownโฆโ ๐
โOh noโฆโ ๐ I whispered with my heart tightening ๐. At that moment, I thought, โpoor little oneโฆ all alone. Letโs check if his mom is around. If not, weโll have to wait a bit โณ and find him a family.โ
We were just ready to take care of him temporarily, when suddenly Axelโs humans lit up with excitement โจ.
โWeโve actually been thinking for a while about finding a friend for Axelโ ๐ถ, they said, โand we had thought exactly about a kitten. ๐ฑ Incredible!โ ๐ฎ
Davide laughed with joy ๐ and said a sentence that has now become a saying in our house:
โThe famous kitten distribution system strikes again!โ ๐พโจ
๐พ What is the Kitten Distribution System?

The famous Kitten Distribution System ๐พ is a playful โ yet surprisingly accurate โ theory ๐ธ that says: humans donโt really choose kittensโฆ we kittens find them ๐ฎ. Kittens appear at the right place, at the right time ๐บ๏ธ, as if they know exactly where they belong. Itโs a little feline mysteryโฆ but it always works! โจ
I immediately felt relieved ๐: Axelโs humans had that excited look on their faces ๐ฅฐ, eyes sparkling with love ๐ and wonder โจ. They quickly brought the little one some fresh water ๐ง and a bit of kitten food ๐ฝ๏ธ.
Then they told us a curious thing ๐ค: Axel usually spends sunny days โ๏ธ in the back yard, where itโs cooler and shady ๐ณ.
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 ๐: he was bouncing with joy ๐ถ๐, running back and forth ๐ like an excited puppy.
He clearly wanted to show they were meant to be best friends. ๐ค
And I knewโฆ it was destiny โจ.
The next day, we got the sweetest confirmation ๐: Axelโs human sent us three videos ๐ฅ.
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: โDonโt worry, Iโm 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. ๐
We still donโt know what name theyโll choose for the new arrival ๐ฑ, but one thing is certain: he has found a wonderful family ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ฆโ๐ฆ and a big brother for life ๐พ๐.
๐ฌ Has something like this ever happened to you? ๐พ
Have you ever met a kitten (or another furry friend ๐ถ๐ฑ) at the most unexpected moment? โจ

PS: Sadly, we forgot to take a group photo ๐ธ. But while we wait for the next opportunity, Davide uploaded our individual photos and, thanks to artificial intelligence ๐ค, created a cute collage ๐ผ๏ธ. What do you think? How did we turn out? Let us know in the comments! ๐ฌ๐

Update! ๐พ
It looks like we might have found the first name ideas for the kitten! ๐ธ
The first one is Burro, because he’s as soft and white as butter ๐ง.
The second is Onigiri, inspired by the cute Japanese rice balls ๐ โ his fur is white like rice, and his little spots look just like the seaweed! ๐ป
What do you think? Which one do you like best? Or do you have other fun suggestions? Let us know in the comments! ๐ฌโจ
