The Dodo h
The Dodo Creamsicle cats are supposed to be really friendly and laid back. I hear. And see.
The Dodo He is a dog in a cats body
The Dodo + flame is trying to eork as a firefighter cat😚
He’s a therapy cat and he doesn’t even know it
mte.
HE knows...!
Yeah, he probably knows it. They can be really in tune with human emotions so he probably tries to calm them on instinct. It wouldn't surprise me if he considers it his job, his duty, his mission to help the firefighters who help so many others. Perhaps he senses that they rescue others, just as they rescued him, and that this can be a stressful job.
Gabi didn’t think therapy cats knew that the therapist normally
Do any therapy animals know they are tho?
"I'm not a cat guy at all" but everyone secretly plays with the cat
flukeman022 that’s the way it always goes.
The parasite cats leave in their droppings has infected their brains already. Flame runs the firehouse now.
They're just really funky animals.
People who say they aren't cat people just haven't met the right cat.
Cats always know who's not a cat person.
Feb. 2023 - Flame is doing well! Still getting up to mischief around the station :)
Nice!!...Thanks For The Heads up...Flame is The Man
Good to know
@@hotrodpawns Cats can get between 12-18 Years. So He still has some Time
That's great...thanks for the update 😻
Thank you kind soul.
This must be a cat's dream come true, to be surrounded by people who can play with him 24/7!
At least some cat’s dreams. I don’t think the more shy kitties would appreciate it 😅
I mean he's Flame. They are firefighters. How can they learn fighting fire bwfore playing with some Flame 😏
They signed up for this.
I'd like to be that cat! Bahahaha!
Flame is living his best life 😊
"He'll literally just sit there"
The cat is literally sitting there
Let him sit
he vibin
Flame's entire strategy: Show up. Look cute. Get food.
It is berry efecctibb.
AMAZING! LITERALLY AMAZING!
Yang Groyper fr and we ain’t stressin 😳
Firefighter: he does his own thing, *he runs the department.*
Chief: wait.
Cat: The future is now, old man.
@NSA FBI yes this comment right here.
ah yes the negotiator
Chief : am i a joke to you
This is Patrick chief:Hold my axe
I love how everyone says “more like a dog” when the cat is acting exactly like a cat. All of my cats are chill, affectionate mama’s cats. I think more “dog” people need to give cats a fair shot. Bc they are just as (if not more) loving, affectionate and sweet as dogs!!
Yup, the only thing anormal about him is enjoying baths and not caring about loud noises but he's very much a cat, a very confident and affectionate cat
I always think the same thing. Too many people expect the worst from cats, but they're such awesome little creatures.
Definitely agree!
I have 3 cats that differ in personality.
Sunny is as shy as possible
Phillip will attach himself to your hip
Ava treats you as a toy and a servant at the same time and will sleep on you
it's entirely dependent on the cat. what people need to realize is that cats have very big personalities. you can't really control how they grow up. some strays can be the absolute sweetest things, while others will immediately run away or get angry. it's entirely up to the cat.
Flame just proves that all Fire Stations need an emotional support animals. It helps the fire fighters cope with PTSD and other stresses.
Yesssssss 🐈
True... but, this is Flame we're talking about here, and he does seem to be fairly uniquely suited for his role there. That would suck to have a firehouse cat that was just an azzh0l3.
There’s a reason why people in the emergency service have pets. My dad is a firefighter, he has his most stupid dog. She’s such a good dog. She is a bull terrier.
Patients, prisoners and the elderly in care homes benefit a lot by having cats around. I´m surprised it´s not more often done in those establishments unless there are allergies of course.
Emotional support animals is a good idea except that there are a lot of people who have allergies to animals so that won't work.
Oh look, the cat adopted an entire fire station.
Meeeoine!
He runs it now
He sure did.
lol
😂😂😂
I love the fact they were hiding the cat like children so they didn’t get in trouble. It makes my heart ache.
The best part is that their boss just saw him one day and was petting him lmao
Geechy Guy XD for real
You have to take into account that the station might of had an “no animals allowed” policy, some places have a policy like that.
Geechy Guy Almost as if to stay,”Why didn’t you just tell me? I love cats too.”
Don't get it why they hid him?illegal to pet a cat in fire station
"He's a lucky cat, but we're lucky too"
That sums up everything. 😀
Someday soon, that cat will respond to a call ... and rescue a firefighter stuck in a tree. Training completed! 🐱 🌳 🚒
Facts!
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Oh my...😂
Hshsaaaaa!
“The first time we bathe him we were so nervous. We had on the firefighter gloves that were thick”
ICONIC
Meanwhile Flame is all, “Oh thanks, guys. I needed that. Ooh. Water’s warm. Nice.”
Just about the most chill cat I’ve ever seen.
Ana J. S. Yeah...Cat’s 🐱+ Water 💦 = SCR@tCh3D Up (?!) Usually ____i reckon th!s isn’t a Usual Situation though rt?! 😝 🐈 =🙏🏼🌏❤️🧡💛💚💙💖💝💞💕

Joy Anderson do you spam emoji to make up for your total lack of personality or something?
@@joyanderson8514 i just have a stroke reading your comment
A cat named "Flame" who isn't afraid of water, and being a therapist for firefighters?
He's surely a miracle.
Yes, yes, yes! Everyone needs comfort!🙂
Moments like these almost made me believe in reincarnation.
The fire in his heart cannot be extinguished!
@@Moemoepot Your comment is perfect! "The fire in his heart cannot be extinguished!"
@@serene_actual No question, Flame was one of them in a previous life.
People probably don't realize how extremely beneficial this cat is for these guys. Firefighter suicide rates are much higher than the average and the job takes an extreme mental and physical toll. They see a lot of death at times and a lot of times that includes children. Not to mention the physical injuries. The therapeutic value of this will probably save lives at this station.
Same for paramedics. Give the emergency workers cute animals, give the animals homes. It’s a win-win.
PTSD from what? It’s not the 60s where they were fighting fires in dangerous slums that could collapse any second every night. Only 48 died in 2019 and that was from wild fires and abandoned buildings in maryland.
Doesn’t mean no one’s ever died from a fire on their watch. What’s more is firefighters are often first responders to many types of situations. Paramedic situations, kids choking, car wrecks, etc. they have no doubt seen and dealt with many traumatic situations.
Real men are kind to animals 🥰
imaginary men are too :)
Oh yes.
Stop with the real men stuff.
@@Sibbot Sounds like a real man problem.
They have to practice rescuing a cat that is stuck on a tree or roof.
“I live here now.”
“You can’t just-“
“I just did. Meow.”
Same thing happened to me when I was in school. One rainy morning an unknown full grown cat just showed up at the kitchen door -- basically 'HEY - I'm your cat now, so what's for breakfast !' She'd give my mom's dog the death dagger glare to make him move from the prime napping spot by the heater, no claws or hissing, just The Look hahah
For some reason I read the "Meow" part In my head in a deep voice.
@@katiezee2 now that's a boss for you...
@@katiezee2 haha what a strong kitty!
@@someone_7233 me too 😂
I love the idea of these firemen being worried about their boss finding out about their secret pet. Like a little kid "He followed me home, can we keep him" Awww
Then one day they find the boss petting him lol
Lmao
Darren Gilliam
I wish... But unfortunately, it’s not always like that. :(
Stuff like that is the only universal constant between first responders all over the world. They're great at finding joy in the little things when they're bored (or setting up flour catapults in each other's lockers).
@@flamingmoose1479 Sounds like there's a story behind that last bit...
This is why I strongly believe in an office pet at every office where it's feasible. It makes life so much better for everyone.
Allergies,and well... Maintenance. It costs money in terms of food and stuff like cleaning etc and that's just the basic cost of any animal depending on what specific animal Is chosen the negatives might grow. Not too mention it can and will be a distraction
@@goranpersson7726 Distractions can help mental focus. I say this as someone who needs fidget toys in these kind of settings. lol
Thank gos isnt only your belief phew
@@Vespyr_ that may be the case for you but not for everyone
@@semekiizuio Yeah but for those people they have the mental acuity to simply ignore it. An office pet isn't such a distraction considering the benefits for those that could be helped by it.
I love how chonky he’s gotten since y’all adopted him. So well loved. ❤❤
Dad: *dosen’t want a cat*
Rest of the Family: *gets the cat anyway*
*Dad & Cat:*
Lmaoo
That happened to me my dads words
We already have cats
Stray cat leaves it’s kitten at are house and doesn’t come back we keep
And dad
loves him
You're talking about my dad?
Literally my boyfriend when I moved in🙄 “I dont want them I’m allergic” now I see him and both cats taking up our whole bed
@@HotZoey9191 why would you get a cat if your boyfriend is allergic to them
I just like to imagine these buff, brave firefighting men trembling in fear, in full gear, ready to give Flame his first bath.
Aww
They're like "what do we do this is the first time we've done this"
😁
@@ignaciog5818 "Use your training!" "I DO NOT HAVE ANY TRAINING!"
Haha cute
The firefighter is so eloquent and his description is quite poignant. This is one of my fav all-time videos. Thank you.
Also he hot. That's really why.
They named him Flame? AND he's an orange cat? It's too perfect
Lolol not blaze?
@@johnsmith6974 blaze sounds feminine....for some reason
XDD yeah
Albert ian Delos santos no one said anything about feminism. Do you know what feminine means?
@@orlandogarcia7084 Maybe because the female character in Streets of Rage named Blaze? Lol maybe you played the game 25 years ago and it stuck in your subconscious
"he does his own thing, he runs the department"
Flame to chief: look at me. I am the captain now
😂😂😂😂😂
You mean "im the captain meow"
“Are you really in charge here?”
🤣😅🤣🤣🤣🤣
Popular sovereignty.
I love when cats just move into places like
"Yis, this is my home now, these are my humans"
Flame must have watched life at the fire station for a while and thought "that's the life for me" and decided to make approaches.
What a fantastic cat and what a fantastic life he now leads. Well done Flame.
We've had a few unwanted cats come to join us to varying degrees (according to their needs) in our much more mundane lives. Cats that nobody else wants, we are quite a community now. All different characters but love and care for them equally.
The best thing on earth is when a massive bulky man goes soft whenever they see a cat.
@Sebas7710 he's not ur dad tho. He somebody elses
Dad? You finally brought the milk!
@@8015908 then he must be my long lost dad!!!
Or a woman
Lmao your name is awesome
The ironic part is, he’s called flame, but he doesn’t mind water...
He must be Greek
Oof
Oil based fire
I like to think he dissolves like a bath bomb then rebuild
@@biglad3389 that's adorable
Bless these guys for caring for Flame. And bless all the firefighters out there worldwide for looking out for us!
💯🙏💕
He still lives there and he's dong fine. 😊
Cat is:
- used to loud noises.
- provides a mental break from all the chaos that goes on in their lives.
- is an orange cat.
- is named "Flame."
Yeah, he was meant for you guys.
Likes water too 😀
Exactly!
Orange catsbare usually pretty chill.
He was definitely meant for them 🐈🐈🐈 I love seeing stories like this
"cat is provides"
"cat is is"
My dad had this cat named socks forever and he always said “I’m not a cat person” and I always said “what about socks she was a cat and you were obsessed with her” his response “nope socks wasn’t a cat she was a person a tiny furry person”
Your dad is in denial, LoLoLoL. That's adorable. I wish my dad would ever find the one. He has spend his 76 years of life hating all cats...including my cats...he just tolerated them in front of me, but when he thought I didn't see, he throw water at them or beat them up with brooms and his walking sticks... 😭
*ᒪᗩᗪY ᐯOᒪᗪEᗰOᖇT* Reminds me of my grandma. She always said our cat was evil. One day me and my mom were watching Charlie (our cat) walk into my grandma’s room and immediately my gma smacks Charlie on the head. We were like ohhhh that makes sense. It was so sad I wonder how else she abused our poor kitty. 😢
@@monicacardenas7924
Aaw, poor Charlie... 😢
And she said he's the evil one? 😅
Hopefully our beloved elders would change their heart before they died... 😔
*ᒪᗩᗪY ᐯOᒪᗪEᗰOᖇT* Ur dad is crazy😂
@@avakingirltt8950
LoL, cat-related, yeah......he loved me very much though, maybe because he married old and I'm his only child. He hold a grudge to cats since childhood, back when he lived in a very poor condition in the 50s. I'm talking about the poorest poor...9 kids in 2 room shanty with dirt floor, in a poor village in the middle of nowhere in Indonesia. His mom got this fish to eat (it was the fancy food for them). Being the only one who went to school, he was the last person to lunch. His mom put the rice and fish on a plate on the floor, and told him to change clothes and wash his hands. He washed them in the river (no toilet) while drooling, imagining about the delicious fish. And when he got back...it was already on the dirt floor, getting eaten by a stray cat. 😭 That's how his deep hatred to cats rooted he said...😅
I love him very much though...he is still my hero...😄❤
i love to think that flame was a firefighter in his past life❤️
So happy that even after 4 years he is still working happily and healthy ❤️🧡💛
When I was a boy, I wanted a long-haired female kitten, and wanted to name her Princess!!
Cops: "We've got DOGS!"
Firefighters: "Oh, yeah? Well, we've got a FLAME!"
Lmaoo
Ikr lol
And we have the cat he's name is flame
hahaha. Interesting that firefighters used to be known for having dalmatians and now they dont anymore. But flame is a great little addition ;)
We have a hulk
Of course he stays there, he's surrounded by gorgeous firefighters.
Gahhahaha
ظريفة
I hear you, bro
True
I don't blame him
"He's a lucky cat....we're lucky too"
Great humility 👏
Him in a bath is the most “I hate this but I’m staying” energy
For how tough a firefighter's job is, both physically and mentally, Flame is great for boosting morale

Damn that hits.
I liked that part!

Made my heart hurt it was so sweet
Good guys with a good cat. Cool.
That gave me chills. 😻
Like a great human couple: "He's so lucky to have her...And, she's lucky to have him, too!"
My dad was a firefighter eventually turned Captain,and I love this!!! Wonderful you guys are there for him as he is for you!! Brotherly love!! He's a vital part of the group as my dad says!! What great positive vibes!! Wish more stations had animals for the guys,it's mentally and emotionally beneficial!! 💕🐈😺
yea it would be nice but like they even said in the video, this is definitely not the ideal environment for any cat or dog. they just happened to get lucky that this particular cat didnt mind the ruckus and chaos
I mean if the cat or dog are there since there a baby then they will grow up used to the noises
@@gausly1032 Yes,that's somewhat true as it can be a very loud environment 🔊 🚒 for most animals liking I'm sure,but usually if they have the animal from a puppy or kitten,then they (the animal) usually becomes used to it 99% of the time thankfully,especially if it's all they know,and it also can have a lot to do with the breed of cat or dog and their temperament,but sometimes crazy things happen, and certain animals you would never think would be ok with all the Hussle and brussel,are totally in their element and love where they are. But the station my dad worked for had 2 resident "house dogs",and they were Dalmatians of course!! Very pretty dogs!! (This was in the 1980's tho!) But anyway,they both lived (and worked) at the station their entire lives,and went on the truck with the guys and on calls,so it was really cool growing up and hearing stories about them and seeing pictures of them all up around the firehouse. Sadly but never the less,they obviously have passed away decades ago😢, but they have a beautiful little cemetery on the stations property where they are both buried and they have beautiful headstones🪦💐 for each doggie, with their pictures,names,and birth and passing dates etched into the stones (I wish I could remember their names,but I have forgotten them after all these years unfortunately) but they were clearly very special to the previous resident firefighters who had them,raised them,worked with them and of course loved them!! ❤️❤️
"He's a lucky cat, that's for sure. but, we're lucky too" Beautiful
Flame is good but Fire would've been hilarious.
"FIRE FIRE FIRE! Has anyone seen fire?"
Lol
That's probably why lol 😂
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Dude, your coat is on FIRE"
...
"You mean it's on the cat or ..?"
"I'm not a cat guy, but..." - Guess what, you're a cat-guy :)
I always believe people who says that are people who haven't meet the right cat, yet.
🤣
Yeah hahaha so much for your argument ❤🐱
Im not a cat guy either. Only one cat i ever loved and he was a stray that would visit often. Called him Hei and one day he just never showed up again :(
Jose Razo i'm sorry :(
I love how Flame just TOOK OVER the firehouse! Cats are gonna cat... 😸😸
It's amazing that Flame lets himself be bathed! He is SO relaxed in the water. It's so cute that he comes out of the bath *1:52* when the guy says "Flame! Come on out, boy." Just like a dog - but DON'T tell Flame that!! :-D
This cat provides these guys a massive dose of emotional support, and in return they love him unconditionally.
Everyone is “not a cat person” until they come across a sweet tempered cat. 🐈💕
That is something wrong. Everyone is a cat person, cats in many ways are more therapeutic than dogs as they give unconditional love and can also look after themselves.
Dogs, well they only encourage you to exercise more as they can't look after themselves in the same way.
TRAKARU ALVAREZ also cats domesticated themselves and dogs did not...we basically created dogs lol. if we never made dogs into what they are today then they wouldn’t exist and want little to do with us....
I've seen tons of people having this insane amount of hate for cats. It's like... It's beyond any normal hatred that I see in people. Idk what a cat ever did to them that was so wrong that they had to hate or abuse cats like that. I've always thought cats are way better than those hateful pathetic human beings.
Why did everyone write longgggg replies
HEM good god, you need to hang out with new people, that is awful. I don’t know anybody that would abuse an animal.
Fireman: “he’s more of a dog, it seems.”
Flame: “excuse me?”
😂😂🤣
lmao
It's a common misconception that cats and dogs share none of the same qualities. Despite their obvious differences, either species will always respond to love.
🥰🥰🥰🥰💕💜💙🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@independentfilmchannel1476 there are human beings who don't care or have any gratitude for the ones who serve them and love them. Such shameless ppl don't deserve love. These creatures are worth it. They return back love and have gratitude
Every firehouse should have an emotional support animal ❤
My cat of 13 years who recently passed, was the best therapy i could've asked for. Helped me through a lot of tough times when i felt lonely. Pets are a blessing and we should be lucky to have them in our lives.
Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your dear sweet kitty 😭😿💔
Imagine that cat gets stuck in a tree
Firefighter: *quick! Someone call the-*
...
_Wait.._
Flame: "no"
His friends will rescue him 😍
Wait... I am a *firefighter*
Why would you call firefighters to pull a cat off a tree? It's just wasting their resources, unless something is different in USA, but I live in EU, so I wouldn't know anyway.
Karolina
True.
I’m sure Flame has helped prevent a lot of nervous breakdowns. After such a long, stressful shift as a firefighter, I’m sure the company of a cat would be quite soothing. Cats make wonderful therapy animals.
You got a REALLY good point there!
@Ann-Marie Paliukenas are that scared of cats

"He doesn't act like most cats", says every dog owner who gets a cat. Truth is cats pick their owner, and can be loyal and affectionate once they do.
I have a dog like cat and a cat like dog. They are all different.
True... Why people always assume cat as an evil pet? They just treat it the wrong way. Once you show them affection in the right way, they will never left you. My cat always follow me even wait for me when I used toilet. They're really really depending on you and show love. I hate when people comparing dog and cat. Both animals has character just like human, the stereotypes about them most are wrong.
@@TheKaniamania I wish I understood where that misconception came from. I think it might have to do with people not understanding the difference between a feral cat and a pet cat, or not realizing cats and dogs "speak different languages". Most of a dogs happy and playful body language translates to "oh you wanna fight" for a cat. Thats why it can take a bit for a cat to bond and accept a dog or new people into its colony. But, once it does they are extremely loyal, loving, and protective.

why does that make a perfect cat? they're very clean animals on their own, they don't need baths
@@colorbar.s LOL looks like I rustled some jimmies. Parents usually joke that a "perfect" baby is one that isn't very fussy. The same can apply to pets. It's a common joke.

I was never a cat person, until I rescued. Both of mine have been insanely dog-like 😂. My most recent was an orphaned 3 week old. She's now besties with my rottie mix & 2 kids. My dog instantly recognized that she was a baby & took her under her wing. Amazing what you all did for Flame!
Can't imagine my life without a cat! I've had them ever since I was a little girl. They are amazing creatures 🐈
"I'm not a cat person" is what everyone who _thinks_ they're not a cat person says...

Yeah I noticed that they keep saying that as if all other cats were vicious😪 just depends on how they're raised
People who say they don't like cats are actually afraid of them. Every person I've ever met who didn't like cats, when I questioned them about it, it always came out that they had a fear of them.
This is really cool! Family cat for the fire station folks but also their emotional therapy for rough days!

''first, we were nervous about the chief finding out'' my guy, i get what you mean. I work in a factory and we had this stray black cat that kept wandering in trough the gates and everyone dotes on it, so we were worried that our boss would find out and like, idk, get rid of it somehow.
However, one rainy day we caught him, with a towel, trying to help the cat get dry. The sigh of relief from all the workers could be heard even trough all the noise of the machinery.
(the cat doesn't approach the machinery just people that package the material, which is a process done by hand, so no worries about the cat getting hurt).
This is such a wholesome story 🥺
Bless y'all for loving your cat 💖💖💖
So adorable
The Cat Is Probably Aware Of The Machinery And The Hazards That Come With Them; Its Likely Seen Enough Of Said Machinery To Understand The Risks
that is such a heartwarming story 💟
Its vids like this that enforces that work place animals are important
Once a wise man said,
You don't choose cat, cat choose you
If this is where were my taxes were going I would be good with it
I doubt they use tax money. The chief or department financial advisor would question the extra expense. I bet either a vet in their community provides the care free of charge because of their generosity would be recognized (A.K.A free advertisement) or the fire fighters split the cost. Which is very inexpensive, if you know the right DVM or animal shelter.
All pet owners please sit down for this one. What I’m about to say, may blow your mind… A Rabies vaccine only cost a DVM $2.50 per vial. but the DVM must administer the vaccine themselves or supervise a vet tech administering a Rabies vaccine.
Your DVM or shelter only pays $5.00 for each FVRCP vaccine.
The DVM or shelter only pays $1.00 per ML (cats at most will need 2ML) for an oral deworming and topical flea treatments. The price for the parasite treatments varies, due to the animal’s weight. Anyone can administer the FVRCP and preventative treatments without supervision.
Collectively, I think the initial cost for Flame’s medical expenses, would cost a DVM less than $10.00.
The Rabies vaccine will need to be follow up in a year’s time from the original Rabies vaccine, but after that 1 year follow up, the Rabies vaccine will only need to be booster every 3 years.
The FVRCP only needs to be administered once a year If a cat is older than 7 months old. If the animal is younger than 7 months, then it most likely goes through a series of up to 4 FVRCP vaccines.
The parasite preventative treatments will most likely need to be done every 1-3 months.
FYI I work in animal welfare. Does it show? LOL
@@christygib Alternatively, they might use tax money for it. Firefighting is an extremely stressful and dangerous job, and having pets has been shown to reduce stress and improve morale, which would reduce healthcare costs and firefighter turnover. The investment in a pet might actually save taxpayers a lot of money down the road.
@@TomLuTon well growing up you always see you know dalmatians being the classic one we see on things but i've seen plenty of places that just take in whatever breed of dog taking in other animal types should be fine also.
they are great for community outreach programs and like others have said help reduce stress and improve moral.
so in truth a firestation having a pet does have a long history at least as far as most americans are concerned.
Me to
If I lived closer I'd be willing to dont canned for from Time to time
Instead of getting a Dalmatian they get a ginger cat named flame
AWESOME
Definitely a step up.
The cat gets a whole fire department, it's the other way around
Good point.
Xxx
Much better temperament if you ask me.
This cat KNOWS he’s loved. Yes! Animals provide stress relief. 💙💙💙💙💙
Of course he runs the department. Cats are born to lead
Flame was probably a firefighter in his past life
Lizz Mancera you believe in that theory
So do i
Oooh goody, look up the video called "Quantum suicide" You'll see a nuke on the picture.
Oh god i was thinking that
Alright, that... makes sense...?
I was thinking that too lol
Guy: TF IS THERE A CAT INSTEAD OF A RELIABLE ANIMAL, LIKE A DOG?!
Firefighter: Sir, this is our emotional support cat
Guy: Nevermind, he's hella cute, continue.
dogs are only reliable cuz we made them that way ;) into our slaves. they don’t know unconditional love, cats do. they domesticated themselves 🐈
@@hunniibunz2928 I have to disagree, dogs know unconditional love very well. As do many other animals breeds. I have had dogs, cats, cows, pigs, goats, chickens, ducks, bunnies, and birds. Surprisingly Cows, goats, pigs, and chickens, are very loving and friendly animals. You havent lived until you have had a chicken jump into your lap for pet pets, or been knocked to the ground by a cow who just wants her ears scratched by her favorite human.
Wooohooooo. Iam #1000. Thumbs up !!!!!!!!
@@joejoseph3078 horses too, but not ducks :/
Cats are reliable
A therapy pet that they didn’t know they needed❤ and now couldn’t live without. What a Great story!!!❤
He's got his own splash pool! You guys are great.
Why are all these firefighters gorgeous?! That cat chose right.
0:31 dude on the left says Sup Girl
@@SawSaw-ul8xu u nailed it hahaha
Right? All the figherfighters that come to my job are older. Meanwhile these guys look like they belong on some tv show.
Firefighter Chads with hearts of gold
I know! I wish I could be that kitty or that the guys in the firehouse down the street looked like that.
OMG @ 2:39 "He's a lucky cat. That's for sure. But he... we're lucky too" So cute and moving that it made me cry 😻
I found your comment. thanks
Omg when I was reading this he literally said the same sentence
I cried too. I was sobbing uncontrollably. Boogers everywhere. Some in my mouth.
iambored678 what
Very sweet and sensitive,... ahem, the kitty , of course🐈😁🤪
Wow....a water cat...rare and beautiful thing.
... saw a video about a cat at a police station - something to behold, how that cat (called Captain!) was a stress reliever for the folks at that station. Can't help but think how police stations & fire stations greatly benefit from four footed members.. .we all know the therapeutic benefits of having a pet in our lives, makes a world of difference.
