A tiny stray kitten showed up by the door one day and was meowing and begging to get inside. "Binx showed up right when I needed him most - (this is him) from a scrawny street kitten to a handsome man!"

This is the moment when Binx walked into his human life!

"I put out a little wet food and when he had his back turned I reached out the screen door and scooped him up.

"He was flea ridden and skinny so he got a flea bath immediately, some food and a warm place to sleep," reddit user hrtofdixie said.

She didn't intend to keep the kitten, but the tiny furry friend quickly stole her heart. "We all know how well that works out."

Binx was taken to the vet and got a clean bill of health.

"He is super curious. He must be part prairie dog."

Cuddling with his human mom and loving his new home.

"Binx took to Nickel (the cat) right away and after a few days, Nickel let his guard down."

Nickel was 16 years old and about a month after Binx showed up. He passed away after that. "I don't think it was a coincidence and I like to believe Nickel told Binx all his secrets before he left."

"Binx tried to nurse from Nickel but didn't realize Nickel wasn't a mama. It warmed my heart how he accepted Binx as family."

Binx growing by leaps and bounds.

"He has gotten fluffy and healthy over these last 6 months. I can't wait to see how he'll look when he's grown!"

"He's such a sweetheart and he soothed my heart after losing Nickel."

"It's funny how life works sometimes. I definitely hit the kitty lottery."

Sometimes cats choose us in a way we never expected. Share this story!
