Guy Befriends A Stray Cat, It Follows Him Home And Things Escalate Quickly
Andrius BoredPanda staff
Connor Manning was strolling down the street when he stumbled upon a kitten so cute, he simply couldn’t walk past without showing it some love. To his surprise though, the feeling was mutual and it blossomed into an unexpected friendship.
Connor documented the encounter with his affectionate new friend and kept posting live-updates on his Twitter account as it developed into one of the most heartwarming stories we’ve seen in a while.
Scroll below to experience it for yourself and don’t forget to put some napkins close, because you might need them by the end.

What do you think ?
I love this post! Everyone deserves a happy ending :-)
Everyone? I dunno. I know some pricks.
I'm with you. Every morning I start my day by reading the obituary section. You never know when a name will appear that will make your day.
Those pricks need to adopt a cat, and likely, they'd be transformed. Except for a certain orange US prick. Then, we'd all be happy if the cat would use his mouth for a litter box when he snored. Of course, with all the sh!t that issues therefrom, probably wouldn't notice.

I'm making $86 an hour working from home. I was shocked when my neighbour told me she was averaging $120 but I see how it works now. I feel so much freedom now that I'm my own boss. This is what I do... http://cutt.us/yRC1x
This is pretty much how I was adopted by all of my 3 cats growing up. :D All strays, all followed me home. They adopted me. I had no choice. ;) <3
I wish I could do that , if only the people in my house would let me to ! I love cats and cats kind of like me ... I really hope I get to have cats later on!
I really hope you can have a cat or two in the near future. I cannot imagine living without my cats.
That's why I always said that our cats adopted us :D. There was really not much on us - they came, they staid and we were hoping for that from the first time we saw them 😂
What happened to your allergies?
yes, what I was wondering too... but some people get over the allergies when they spend enough time with them (this is what happened with my bf)
Yeah my dad isn't allergic anymore either
Your post is not clear. Do you mean your bf got over his allergies to the cat or that you got over your allergies to him? :)
My father-in-law HEPA-filtered the whole house and went on, like, a half-dozen allergy medications to keep their cat at one point when my wife was a kid. Eventually, they had to re-home him -- but her Dad was less allergic to the NEXT cat. Their last cat, a feral that walked into their house about seventeen years ago and decided that inside was better than outside, and that she liked these people, even if she hated all other people, died peacefully earlier this week, of being twenty years old.
Kinda loving your FIL.
Treatment, bathing the kitten... I know 2 guys who are crazy about cats. One has adopted 2 kittens from the other guy. He bathes the kittens every now and then and it helps him. The other guy fosters approximately 11 cats/kittens and has 6 cats of his own. He has 2 kinds of medication in pill-form and he gets a shot every week. It can be done.
Build up a tolerance or take antihistamines. My mom takes them all the time cause she loves every kitty she has owned.
You just learn to deal with it. Love hurts. It also makes your nose snotty and makes you itchy as hell.
Saw the answer on Twitter - he's just taking daily allergy medication now; by the third day on it, he no longer was wheezing/had watering eyes. Happiness restored!
Cats are my kryptonite. I cant breath, I sneeze all the time. Thats why I took 4 of 'em from the streets to live with me :)
Nothing that a daily dose of antihistamines won't cure
Better living thru chemistry.
Everyone preaching about building up tolerance, please keep in mind, the opposite can happen, and the constant exposure can cause you to become more and MORE violently allergic. Thus why they won't give allergy shots for pet allergies.
Actually they do give allergy shots for cat allergies. A close friend of mine gets them. She is very allergic and has asthma but has 3 of her own and kitty sits mine when I leave town.
Who told you they don't give allergy shots for pet allergies? That's one of the main things they're for (bee stings, pollen, dust mites, mold, and pets). It's food, drugs, and latex that allergy shots don't work on (yet).
