I spent thousands of dollars bringing a cat from a war zone that was a kitten and crawled into my bunk in Iraq. Tai was a relief from the stress of being in combat. When I was gone others would take care of him. He saved me more than i saved him.
That would be the best counselling in a war situation hope it's doing well !
My heroes...💝💝
How is he doing now?
Please make a video about your cat story!! It doesn’t have to be fancy...even just telling the story w her in your lap and showing some photos would be awesome. 😍😍😍😍
So glad that both of you are safe.
That's not a feral cat. It was likely either dumped by people or got lost, and probably not too long before you found it. Keep that cat. It's special.
Believe it got dumped and they almost did that again...omg
Was just about to say that, real strays don't approach people so comfortably. Definitely got ditched. I'm glad they turned around to pick her up
She's special*
It's Montenegro where they found her. I've been there before. Most of these cats aren't feral strays, but domesticated strays. People generally take good care of all cats, and in turn the cats are free to roam and take care of the snakes and mice. So they are all pretty much half stray, half domesticated, and very used to humans.
it?
I could not imagine forming that bond and then leaving the cat behind to fend for herself in the first place! That made my heart SINK! Thank goodness they had a change of heart!
I know...
yep, stupid people.
......Hell no!.....Had I formed that bond with a kitty, only way I'm leaving her
behind is feet first and a toe tag! (My toe!)
Yeah that was awful i hated them then lol.
Van blogger millennials are generally awful narcissistic people.All they want is attention and "stories". 🤢🤮
Man my heart broke when they said "we decided to leave her there" I can't understand how that thought even crossed your mind 🥺 Glad you saw sense and went back for her. She trusted you with all her heart!
Im glad they quickly regretted it and took her anyway
Considering I've had cats my whole life and am VERY familiar now with their instincts and how they think and feel, I definitely would have never left him there. As would be the case for most of us who watch/subscribe to the Dodo and other animal/pet channels. But I would imagine these 2 were likely either not accustomed to a cat before in general, or at least not familiar with feral cats.
I mean in general, you want to leave all wildlife in their natural environment, even if they interact with you or you just feed them, and that's the advice most often recommended and promoted by companies and advocates. I mean I'm sure most of us watching cat videos on here are aware of the difference between friendly wildlife and feral/homeless domestic animals. But simply not being aware that they're 2 totally different concepts/scenarios with solutions in the best interest of the animal that are total opposites not only would be enough to confuse me hypothetically, but then to keeping in mind how often it's said that cats like familiar environments and routines - often worded that they're creatures of habit - I mean looked at from this concept, I can immediately understand how they decided that, and the fact that the bond was strong enough to convince them to turn around, I would bet they didn't make that decision lightly.
I mean she clearly comes across as a generally intelligent, rational, and good-hearted person, so luckily after thinking about how strong their bond was and probably endlessly questioning their decision, she had enough intuition to turn around and reunite with their "son" that forced them to adopt him in the first place, hahaha!
Well she might have been someone else's cat.If that was a consideration seems reasonable. But I think its more likely that she was someone else cat and was abandoned. Maybe someone moved, or maybe someone died..it happens. In any case domestic cats belong in a home.They can survive outdoors but not well and not very long usually. Im really glad she got a home
Had me crying when y’all left her and decided to come back for her
Sounds like a movie plot honestly lol
I think this young lady was crying as well
purple lace same here
I couldn't believe that they actually left her the first time. I thought, "What?! She had already let you know that she felt safe with you, not her location! Duh!"
@@kimsmith1383 I thought the same! Also, she is not a stray, someone abandoned her. A stray would not go near people.
Cat: “hey do you want to adopt me?”
Person: “uh I’m not so sur-“
Cat: “yeah thanks. I’ll go wait in the car, see you at dinner”
lololol
Well I opend the door from my Home and a half year old kitten just came in and slept on the couch... we “adopted“ her. Since then she always stick around us and act like she is still a kitten XD
But first...let me love you then leave you 'in your environment' for 10+ hours alone and confused. TARDS!!!
@David G. What,I don't Think so
@David G. Your full Of s^^t,Where The hell did you come up With A comment Like That
The five hours driving back would feel like eternity! Animals need to have forever homes and forever people who love them. So happy you turned around and went back for her.
Animals who are used to living outside don't necessarily need homes, tho. Some are happier outside. To say nothing of wild animals of course.
I've been binge watching cat vids, and I came away thinking how nice it is that all of these nice cats are adopting these orphaned humans.
😂😂😂
"She thinks I'm her mommy!"
Leaves her behind...
Captain Cooks-A-Lot Perfection.
I tip my hat to you.
😂 i tought the same think.
I mean I would never leave a cat behind if they've been with me for a few days and clearly dont have anywhere else to be!
Left her behind... hmm, didn't realize the cat was black.
AJR 1986 don’t get smacked.
My cat once ran away and 1 month later I hear her yowling at my window at 2am to come in. She was so skinny and dirty but thank God she found her way home now she's once again fat and fluffy 😊
She must have met a bad boy cat who got her hooked on meth
Just make sure you don’t over feed her and keep her active like a kitty would so she stays healthy and lives a long life. 😊
@@markyncole 😂😂😂
Yay 🥰🥰🥰
@@markyncole 👀h💩! 😂
I was like OMG I can't believe they're leaving her behind. You would've regretted it in the long run always wondering how Millie is doing.
How could you leave it behind in the first place glad you came back for it well done 👏
Stray cat: oh there’s people
Stray cat : let me get in the car
Stray cat: BOOM easiest way to get adopted
Stray cat: It's free real estate.
I can see the cat hand-flicking one paw down really hard as it says BOOM!
She has a high degree of emotional intelligence.
The smart ones can tell, they can smell your emotional residue.
@@marlenasien8793 Totally. I suspect that their affection & (ESP) is sometimes misinterpreted by the confused as , curiosity. (🐈)✔

You're not kidding about the "dislike" ~ I was about to rip them a new @Hole...What a bunch of j%rks BUT I gotta hand it to them they righted a WRONG...Common sense kicked in and they turned around...Can't fix stupid ~ Stupid has to fix itself and thank goodness they did and rescued the beautiful cat from a life of homelessness...They are the lucky ones to have this beautiful animal that will hopefully be with them for the duration...Hopefully...
Clever
I watched the whole thing, I don't give a damn if they went back, they should have NEVER left her.
deadlock on that triple six like 😨
I was so sad when the cat was left behind at first.. I am glad they turned back
She found you for a reason. 1bike one world, he's traveling the world on a bike and a cat. Thank you for going back.

That Thanos quote tho😂🔥
Than cat
There's an old saying that goes "If you love something set it free, if it comes back it's yours, if not it wasn't meant to be." Usually this applies to the humans but I'm pretty sure this is what the _cat_ did.
Indeed 🙂
Really? My cat ran away (I don’t have her.. it’s been a couple years) and she came back the next night. Then again she got lost and she didn’t come back.
@@doiepop Ouch,sorry to hear that. I too once had a cat and it loved us all and cuddles,always when it came back from outside it will jump at the nearby person and kiss and cuddle with them,one day it left and never returned, but I believe someone killed it.
I am Done That’s so sad. When my cat ran away, I cried the whole night. She use to sleep on my bed with me. I have a new cat, but I know she’ll never replace my old one.
@@doiepop i once decided to take care of a stary cat i fed it and bought it a cat house i dont remeber how exactly its called the Cat usually left for 2 to 3 days but always came back the one time it didnt come back i was devestated i think it got run over by a car or smth since all the nearby neigbours are nice and wouldnt kill an animal i hope it maneged to survive in the wild
I'm happy she's safe and I'm very happy you went back for her. But, I can't imagine letting her get to know and depend on your love and kindness and then you just leave her behind. Oh, my heart sank. I wonder if she looked for you and felt sadness that you were gone.
hey stupid...the cat was there looooong before them. did you miss the part where they TRAVEL? the cat was NOT depending on them. it was in its own environment long before they arrived. they didnt want to rip her from the world she was in before they got there. is that so effing hard for your peabrain to compute?
Yes, she did. According to her Instagram, they left her with the fiance's parents whenever they had to go to the US. The first time they were gone, Millie went missing for a week looking for them. But the next time they visited the US, in early 2022, Millie disappeared permanently. She's never been found.
@@japankasasagiIf this is true they failed her 😔
@@rebexxa it is true 💔 i just checked on their instagram
Who abandons an amazing cat/pet like that? Unbelievable. You're lucky u found her again
"We are an international couple"... Well, that's a new expression for me. Wtf 😒🤡
@@yassinee.3463
This couple sounds very obnoxious with their 24 hour non work lifestyle traveling all over.
Glad they are rich enough to see the world that we never will.
I hope they dont back stab this cat again by running away and leaving it all alone......
are you an idiot? i truly wonder. the cat was in its own environment long before they arrived. they didnt "abandon it" because it already lived out there you dummy. they didnt want to rip her from the world she was in before they got there. is that so effing hard for your peabrain to compute?
@@barrygomberg2524 agreed. entitled, privileged pieces of CRAP
I was like obviously they were really all about wanting easy breezy. I hope they’re true to their word and keep her forever.
Must be nice, been able to live that, indeed🙄…😂~ So smug about it, they act like their privileged life is so easy.
But I bet they do deal with stressors. Nobody’s life is pain or difficulty free. Just some are better at keeping it private.
My best friend and I adopted a kitten that we found while traveling in Italy, and she traveled all over Europe with us 🐱💕
Hope you keep her forever.
How u did it with the permissions of her going throw other countries? Didn’t they have to put the animal in quarantine before entering another country?
Pretty litt 😏
@@lvialviaquez9146 Thanks to Schengen treaty it's like travelling in the same country, the EU.
awww
That cat was like where did the fam go ? Oh they will be back they love me. I'll just wait by this rock lol.
They leave... drive south for 5 hours... stop the van... slowly turn to each other... then scream, MISSSSTAAAAKE!!!
Take a clue from Dean and Nala. They're traveling the world together by bike! Taking your adopted kitty along for the journey can be done!
I love Dean and Nala!! They are both awesome! What a deep bond they have.
@@rstrader2516 Thank you I'm going there right now ach they act all big and tough but I've found almost every Scostman is a secret softy.

All the calicoes I have had in my life have been incredibly smart and resourceful ladies.
Once you bond with an animal, you should never leave it behind!!!!!!! Good that you did find her.
Are humans not animals?...
Wilbert Lek were mammals so prob so
@@benii4237 Probably?... Why probably?
They should have never left her in the 1st place. Bad parents
How are they bad parents dumb as
“We always park and leave our doors open,” and I’m surprised you don’t have a pet rattlesnake lol
Actually I'm surprised they still have a car.
😹😹😹
@@antred11 yeah, because wild animals are totally known to steal cars from time to time
@@FuckTheCZcamsUsernameChange Lmao i think he meant humans. like someone stealing their car cause it's left unattended with the doors open.
but that was pretty funny ngl
@@nyxx1923 Nah animals do that all the time..] They robbed my car and took everything in my house. That freakin 2 day old kitten.
My heart would have broken driving away as she watched I’m so happy your hearts sent you back for her ❤️😻❤️
I’m so glad they went back. My heart would’ve been broken if they left her.
Lucky you could find her again after being gone 10 hours.
Very lucky, it's a bit of a selfish move to assume a cat will do best fending for herself outdoors; it's incredibly difficult for strays to find food. Humans poison pests and encroach wildlife areas by building more and more into them. Animals need our help and care now more than ever. Please don't ignore stray cats assuming they will be fine; seems like that's just you (people in general) not wanting the responsibility
@@tdbhmusic she was selfish at first but she realized her mistake so
@Bernie Wright She wasn't selfish, perhaps mistaken in her judgement. Living on the road and constant travelling is not what most animals would like, especially one that has been out in nature for so long. They tried to do what they thought was best for the cat, as any sensible person would. Bernie Wright is correct, selfish is certainly not the right word at all.
Tiffany Heath Actually cats are very successful hunters to the point they are endangering bird species because they hunt them not just for food but just for the sake of it,So leaving strays behind just increases the population of strays resulting in deaths for birds and potentially snakes? i know cats put up some good fights against snakes but the better route was to take the stray as just to save birds and the cat itself.
They were not selfish. It is true, moving a cat from the area they already know is a risk. And with their mobile lifestyle they weren't sure it would work out. Many cats live long lives out on their own. Selfish would've been taking her, realizing it didn't work out and then leaving her in an area that she isn't familiar with. And btw, it is best to leave stray cats alone UNLESS if you or someone you know is going to take them in as their own.
This basically happened to me 11 years ago, she's currently asleep in my lap.
I was walking home from a friends house and there was a lil stray kitten that someone had abandoned in an empty lot around the corner from my house. I saw her, crouched down and started talking to her. She ran over and JUMPED into my arms, not even slightly exaggerating here, she leapt at me! I carried her home and she's been with me ever since.
This cat adopted ME! She's the sweetest cat I've ever known. She follows me around like a puppy and still comes when called like half the time. Used to be all the time but she's gotten a lil more independent as the years go by.
I've gone to great lengths to keep this cat. She's why I got my own apartment instead of a room-mate. It was really hard to earn enough go that extra step but I couldn't leave her! Wasn't an option.
She's kept me sane during quarantine!
Her name is Furball. Started calling her that before I was sure I could keep her (lived with my mom when she adopted me) and it just stuck.
She's been my fur-daughter through some of the worst parts of my life. We ended up losing that house because great recession and I dragged her with me through 2 relatives places before I got out on my own. I even got sober with this kitty's help!
Cool story
💖💖💖
Hope she's doing well
I love how you said she adopted you
That's quiet inspiring story. Mine cats too offered support and compassion to me in my hard times. Their love is selfless.
i would have never left her there to begin with!
"Leave her in her familiar territory where she knew how to keep herself safe" - REALLY ??? Euphemism for let's get rid of her. So happy they realized their error and were big enough to own up to it !
That lifestyle has been singing to me for years...
finally another michiko
I mean, with the way housing works in the US, it IS tempting to simply live in a van
Exactly.... ever since i was little
Same! Especially since covid started.
@Hastur I disagree. I've been doing it for 3 years. I dont get paid to do it. And it's the best decision I've ever made.
I don’t really understand why they left her behind in the first place. But I’m glad they went back and got her! 😊💞
A literal example of "When you love something, set it free..."
rugbynimbus - I don’t know about that. Setting a little kitten free in the wilderness doesn’t seem like a good idea but I’m glad they went back for her. She obviously belongs with them.
They just didn't want to be selfish, they wanted to give her choice
"When you love something, keep it close..."
Opalescent Lump - give her a chance by leaving her to fend for herself in the wild?
What a beautiful Calico and the sights she will see with her humans will definitely be worth it. So glad they came back for her
She's a Tortoise shell kitty, Calico has a lot of white
I really like how the name "Millie" fits with every orange, black, and white cat. It's adorable.
oh, to travel across the world with my partner and our cat in our van, what a glorious life that must be
Emma D underrated comment
agreed
Same but for me, which cat?
Emma D that’s what my mom n dad plan to do once my little brother graduates HS. They already have a kitten for it too lol
May it never change
And may it never change us.
Took in an orange stray roughly four years ago. Didn’t know he had friends and now there’s 6 of them that practically live here along with our already adopted three cats and two dogs. They’re expensive but damn I can’t help but love em.
Edit: I’m loving the wholesomeness of these comments

You're amazing! Thank you.
That’s great! Have you gotten them spayed/neutered?
Akeo Flechero same here 4 big dogs we couldn’t help but to help
Amazing little cat , she looks so chilled
A cat that sticks with you like this one, who is a constant companion and trusts you to take her and watch over her wherever you go is a special treasure!
I think that she wasn’t a stray at all. She was probably abandoned and recognized what a car was and was probably so happy to have saw them.
no, she was a stray. you should remember that other countries deal with terrible stray animal populations. She was part of a large colony
@@ladiandmargaret that's true
@@ladiandmargaret Feral cats don't like people. It's more likely she did have past experience with humans...a posititve experience...until she became lost or abandoned.

SonnyGTA Agreed! Pissed me off!
Smu But they came back for her at least. They redeemed themselves!
Dahh
@@gigisoglamorousipeeglitter7466 yep. Only dodo video that made me mad.
I had a cat named patches and he literally walked right into our house so we kept him
That's exactly what happened with each and every cat we've had.
... walked right into *his* house ...
It's eerie, but exactly the same thing happened to us. To boot, the kitten looked exactly like the one in the video. She showed up one day and got fed outside, then three days later went inside, marched up the stairs straight to the kitchen and 'announced' she's staying for good.
Our older cats went insane, seeing such insolence. The oldest one, an Alpha lady, even threatened to leave us and, seeing the kid stays in the picture, tried to throw herself under a passing car nearby. I'm not making it up - I saved her in the last moment. This whole situation turned out to be a serious conundrum to solve - it became obvious one of two sides is going to have to go if we want to avoid a tragedy.
Fortunately, if it is a proper word in any circumstances, the stray cat got very sick just a few days later. So sick I had to pack her up and deliver to big town vet, one of those with better equipment. I was not sure she would survive, but she did - young cats' endurance is incredible. She never returned to us though - I begged my brother, who lives is said big town, to bring her in. His own cats were much more welcoming, like city folks usually do, and went 'You're staying, kid? Whatever...'.
I do not have to add she is now ruling them all with iron paw, of course.
If I walk into your house can I stay? I need a new place to live
That happened with a puppy recently
I watch a lot of stories on this channel but this has to be one of my favourites. I'm so glad they went back for her and she jumped right back in, and I love the fact that they realised how well Millie fits with them without them having to change their ways of living much at all. What a beautiful calico coat she has too
Thank you so much for going back for this beautiful darling!!❤️🐱❤️ She trusts you, I could never dream of leaving her! I bet she was so happy to see you back ! She was meant to be part of your lives 🐈🥰❤️❤️❤️
Cat: "I found a couple of nice humans. I will domesticate them and keep them for myself."
........I loved it and when the video ended I said "Oh hell no don't stop now"!!

@@yassinee.3463 she is talking about herself being American, while he is Czech, it has nothing to do with them traveling in a camper van…
The part where the cat climbed the ladder was what really told me she was intelligent
Also climbing DOWN the tree
I have 4 cats and they'll all climb ladders. They're all from the same bloodline tho. Also the neighbors little dog climbs ladders too. I'm convinced he is gonna join us on someone's roof someday
Heheh my cats do that too
I had a cat named Goliath who used to climb ladders. So my brother is up on the roof fixing it up and Goliath would go climb the ladder to sit with him. Just sitting properly and straight right next to him hammering without any worry. One day my bother comes in all laughing and tells me a nail got away from him, the cat sees this, goes to get the nail as it's rolling off the roof and brings it back to him. Plops it down right where he was going to nail it. People underestimate the intelligence of cats because they're not as obedient as dogs, but that's a mistake.
@@mhstrawn5217 yes for sure, climbing down is harder. One of my cats can go up ladders, but going down….not so much
I would have never left her either !!! So happy that their amazing heart convinced them to do right thing!!!! This is prime example to use your heart to guide you and not just your head … life is so much rewarding that way !!! Thank you for doing that and now she is part of your family … thank you thank you !!
when they came back & started petting her, her eyes were just so full of loving happiness! 🙂

Never should have left her...but glad you guys went back
I could have never left her. Glad they came to their senses.
The fact they left her in the first place is fucked
"Leave her behind in her familiar surroundings" to starve to death or be the victim of predators? What were they 'thinking'?! Really glad they came to their senses and found her again before something really bad happened to her.🙏 Millie is such a precious soul.😻They are so fortunate to have such a special little girl in their lives.💝
it always amazes me how smart a cat can be when it comes to interacting with humans they know are good for them
Animals choose their humans more often than one would think. So glad they came back for her ❤💜💚😺
Our neighbor's cat has chosen us, but she already has people. She comes to visit us regularly and sits outside our door crying, wanting let in. We have two indoor kitties, but if that sweet cat didn't have a good home, I'd let her in in a heartbeat! She is so affectionate! I always feel so bad for shutting the door after telling her goodbye.
MrsBrit1 I was shoveling snow outside one day and this cat walked right up to me and I started petting her, thus she(KitKat) now lives with me and is now a momma cat. P.s. we didn’t breed her, she was pregnant when we got her and after that we got her fixed.
"We always park with our doors open"
Thieves and Robbers: That puts a smile on my face
Such a feel Great story. You three are really meant to be. Millie is so beautiful.
omg, 15 seconds into this video and i can tell that is one smart cat. what a sweetheart. you are so awesome for loving back our little wonders of the universe.
After bonding the way they all did, I couldn't leave that precious little girl behind--no way. Glad they changed their minds & got her back. I'd want her forever!
W Fox yeah that was pretty stupid
People make mistakes surely you have made one right? But to openly put it on this huge platform to admit your mistake and fix it is Amazing! Proud they put this out for everyone to see.
My heart stopped when she said that!
@ W Fox If you are eager to get a stray cat then all you have to do is come to Porterville, Ca. You will have you pick from THOUSANDS to choose from.
I agree. Although it's a cat, not a girl.
"We decided to leave her in her environment"
Me: morons
"We're coming back"
Me: smh you better.. you don't ditch a cat that has CHOSEN you.
Dude...right? That was probably the dumbest thing I ever heard!!!!
Russell LeBlanc you two were the chosen ones and you almost fumbled by leaving her alone.
Good for you to have gotten her back.
Nice story of love for a small creature.
Russell LeBlanc: Here’s a copy of my post for another perspective: My cat loves visiting the neighbors, she goes a hundred yards to visit the old lady, probably because she feeds her. She always comes home everyday though and I’m ok with her exploring and having a kind of second home, but it would kill me if someone like you stole her. Your a disgrace.
@@scolee6408 I'm a disgrace? YOU don't know ME.. and you're a disgrace for leaving your baby outside when you COULD take him or her inside.. I understand if your landlord or whatever said no, but if you could but willingly didn't than you're the disgrace who left your baby outside in the cold. Guess what, if you don't claim her or him as your son or daughter, bring them inside for a great life with food, toys, love, warmth, medical coverage, and family then don't be mad and bitter when your baby finds someone else who'll love them better than you will. If your cat (and I say YOUR very loosely cause you didn't take them in and claim it as family) found me and was happy and not resisting when I pick them up for the obvious walk back home then guess what..? "Your" so-called cat left your ass for me and big and better things.
Pshh you're mad cause someone might scoop up the outdoor cat you love.. you know what you are? SELFISH! YOU don't care at all about that cat.. you car about YOU.. You care about the way that cat makes YOU feel good about YOU... If you really cared about that cat.... you would tear up with bitter sweet joy knowing that someone else (a good loving person) took the cat you love in to love and protect it no matter what.. it could feel bitter sweet because 1. it should hurt that you'll miss the cat.. but 2. Bring you joy that at least this cat you love is being cared for the RIGHT WAY...
but this isn't bitter sweet.. your just bitter.. You're just mad cause YOU can't play with the cat anymore. You don't care about how cold the cat feels at night.. you don't care about the dangers of a car crushing the cat by mistake when looking for food crossing the street outside, or when someone's wild (UNTRAINED) pitbull lockjaws on the cats breaking it's back or neck... again, you care about you and going OUTSIDE saying "hello kitty, here have this tuna.. boy it's chilly out.. bye bye... see you tomorrow.. I'm gonna go warm up.. bye"...
Wake up.. Grow up..
@@scolee6408 and if it's your cat that you let OUTSIDE... then you NEED to put a COLLAR on the cat with a piece of metal saying your address on it.. if I see that the cat coming to me saying hello wanna play is wearing a collar with an address on it.. THAN OBVIOUSLY IM NOT GONNA TAKE SOMEONE ELSES CAT... But if you let your cat outside with out any ID Collar or AT LEAST a microchip than your the smarty that's gonna lose your cat due to missunderstanding.. GET ON IT..
Thank you for rescuing the kitty you found while in Iraq. I hope you give each other much love throughout your lives. It's special when a cat chooses you. I have a cat named Kimba and he comforts me when i have problems coping with mental and physical health issues. You are truly blessed. Thank you for your service Sir.
From California. 🙏🙇♀️✝️🇺🇸👏👏
I cannot believe all the harsh critical comments here regarding this couple's decision process in keeping Millie. EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A PURPOSE. STOP JUDGING!!
Millie is a lucky kitty to have found her humans! Great story! Thank you for sharing! ❤️❤️
When heaven sends you a gift accept it and be grateful.
Heaven? WTF?
NoComment it’s just a saying, don’t worry about it lol
@Waistband Tuck yup 100% agree with you. The worse thing i saw was someone injured pretty bad and was thanking *God* for saving this person's life when it was the doctors. Then went on saying that the doctors were God's helping hands!
Yeah...you don't say...well, THIS was fun...let's leave her!
Pets alter people's emotions thous altering people's intentions.. while man stride to live but animals stride just to survive...
Please chip and put a collar on her. Other than that, awww!!!
They did. Look at their instagram for info
Humans... always want to control things and beings. If the cat wants to go then let her go she is a wild cat after all...
@@DevilWolf000 it's for the protection of the cat. If they find that, they could return her instead of euthanizing if found by animal control or a shelter with limited space
@@DevilWolf000 Not control. Take care of, provide for, protect. Just as much as children need protection, sometimes pets do too. And being a "wild" cat doesn't mean they are suited to that lifestyle.
@@DevilWolf000 how many fedoras do you own
She’s great. Smart and beautiful. Most importantly, you all need to keep her safe at all cost !
Good thing they went back for that cat, cuz I was getting ready to freak out & wish all types of bad karma on them for abandoning the poor thing. So happy they came to their senses! It's obvious that the kitty loves them, & digs roaming around in their camper. All's well that ends well!😻
What an awesome life.
Now she gets to explore new territory her whole life.
Mike Corleone All while having security, comfort, food and love
Mike Corleone it’s such a dream having her with us!
Please don't EVER leave her behind again. She is the best kitty ever. You are so-o lucky! :-) XX
Arber Hayes why would they do that...?
@@astraviart816 it was her natural habitat she needs to live in the wild
b o b. Kiddo, cats are domesticated. They need to live with humans to thrive and leaving her there was not a good thing. Cats are not wild, and you need to understand that. Her natural habitat is a house.
@@morningglory.2 nah fam cats are extremely independent animals and honestly dont need YOU to survive.
b o b in the desert? Ehhh not so sure but there is some animals not many also she would be way skinnier because in the philippines all the strays are skinny even the kittens too
This is like the spitting image of one of my old childhood cats! I miss that goofball; she passed around '12/13. I think she made it to about 17 years old, maybe 18.
Thankfully I've had a very sweet runaway tortoise shell for the past 3 years now that chose me one night in my driveway. She abandoned/rejected her previous family after they moved here and lived on her own for probably like a month before I took her in.
The previous owners were taking a family walk one day by the house and spotted her in the yard; they were just happy to have closure and to know the cat was still alive and in good hands. She went over to greet them and they had a little reunion, but eventually turned around and came back basically saying "this is my new home now, but I appreciate you".
0:28 I JUST really loved that picture, for some reason: The far away view of husband and wife walking, and Millie eagerly walking behind them!
Glad they kept her but not sure how they could ever have left her behind.
Sweet 36 I don’t get it either
People make mistakes surely you have made one right? But to openly put it on this huge platform to admit your mistake and fix it is Amazing! Proud they put this out for everyone to see.
we were worried this lifestyle would kill her.
@Space Alien There's more to life than slaving away at a job everyday that you hate, to buy things that you don't need..
Space Alien thank you! For saying my exact thoughts !!! I just don’t speak English as well as you do
I would never ever leave a cat or a dog behind especially one that wants to be with you so much.
it was in its own environment long before they arrived. you think being a selfish idiot gives you moral authority? lol..what a joke. they didnt want to rip her from the world she was in before they got there. is that so effing hard for your peabrain to compute?
you would be very busy in southern europe where they have hordes of feral cats and dogs straying about.
the problem is idiots who abandoned their non-neutered animals.
Ye a that’s why they didn’t leave her
Cats really do choose their humans. It's a great feeling when one choses you.
The sweetest story ever I loved it and I love the fact that she's going to be with you guys forever
Cats tend to choose their people. We had decided to get another pet (cat) and went to a local SPCA. We had planned on letting our 9-year old son pick one. Well as we were looking this ALL white domestic short hair picked ME! She purred constantly so we got her and I named her Snowball and she has been with us 8+ years. She still purrs as long as she's not FULLY asleep.
@@nateman10 so sweet 😻 Thank you for sharing. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Greetings to you both (nateman and Maarten) from The East Coast, USA. 😊
I am from Syria
During the war in Syria, our house was shelled by a rocket
All my worries was to rescue my three cats and take them out of the house
It's a matter of confidence
Hope you are all well.
I hope you are all ok
Longlive Bashar Al Assad
The bomb was probably from your own government
@@DJC_2003 nope, it was the Muricans.
Adorable family! I am so glad you went back and got her...Millie is a great cat...you can just tell how she just is a soul mate for your journey!
What a fabulous pretty clever cat Millie is. Thanks for taking her to your hearts. Cats, are great. They are beautiful companions. Love peace good health and good luck to you all

That would be fine in Canada tbh

@Jas Its not issue if you are siting in car while door is open, but if you are away, most likely person wouldn't steal it or steal anything from it but there are cruel pepole and the area looks like that there aren't many pepole but imagine snake getting in car...doesn't sound fun to me.
There's no thieves in Canada?
What a beautiful and affectionate kitty. I would've taken her right away, no doubts 💛🧡
we were just wanting her safe. road travel is hard to predict
@@ladiandmargaret I didn't mean to sound overcritical though 😉. I understand you were in a complicated situation. Thanks for taking care of this gorgeous kitty 😊
I'm so glad you went back & got her & adopted her she obviously needs & loves your company. thank you so much
I love this! These "soulmate" stories are my favorite. It utterly warms my heart when I see the stories when people literally find their spirit animals and they match each other perfectly.
I can’t believe they left her!!!!
But so glad that they remedied their foolish decision
That's selfish millennials for you, thank Christ they went back, she was waiting, just in case, humans stupid, cat intelligent, bless her
Carbon suicide mtb humans are smarter then cats it just nature everyone makes mistakes
@SgtBaker16 yeh man. Babies exist
@Zero Cool but cats are not wild animals they shouldn't live alone in the middle of nowhere. You also wouldn't leave a stray dog behind.
Shocked beyond imagination you thought of leaving her behind. Happy you came to your senses...
Right on.
Like in the desert they left her wtf
Yea made me think
Ditto
Not only thought about it, they did it!! Not nice at all
Great story. She’s on an adventure of a lifetime with you guys and you won’t regret that. What a wonderful story. I love my fur babies and would never trade that for anything; they bring me so much joy. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing. What a great story and a thoughtful concluding statement, "There's always a way to bring the ones you love with you."
