..In Anapa, a cat fed abandoned puppies with mice. Near the road, in a forest belt, we came across a heap of old rags in which six red puppies were fiddling around. And the black and white cat screamed heart-rendingly. So much so that my ears were blocked. It was clear that he was calling for help.
It was cold, and we brought them a booth, fed them, and when the frost hit, we took them home with us. Otherwise, they could have died,” says Anapa resident Ekaterina Balanenko.
But, as it turned out, the puppies were not hungry. They ate... mice that the cat brought them.
She replaced the children's mother. She licked the babies and warmed them up. True, as soon as they got into Catherine’s yard, the dogs stopped eating mice - what kind of “norushkas” could there be if the girl fed them porridge and meat. For the dogs - three boys and the same number of girls - they found a booth and insulated it well. The cat was the first to enter, followed by the puppies, happily wagging their tails.
- No matter how you look into the kennel, the puppies are sleeping on the cat. But they grow quickly, climb onto their foster parent and sleep. To avoid being trampled, we took the cat into the house,” says Ekaterina.
“She successfully started going to the litter box and slept under the radiator. But she didn’t forget about her adopted children. When they let me out into the street, she ran to them.
The puppies quickly outgrew their “foster mother” in size.
Time passed, the puppies were slowly taken apart, but the cat still couldn’t find a home.
“Maybe because not all the puppies have been given away yet, and the children cannot be left without her supervision,” Ekaterina smiles. – And when all the children were settled, they decided to sterilize the cat. This way she will find a new home faster.
And then it turned out that our cat was a cat! And how I didn’t notice before! They named him Murzik.
The cat, that is, a cat, turned out to be an obedient and affectionate fellow. True, when all his foster children were distributed, he missed them a little.
You could say that Murzik chose his new owner himself.
- We published an ad that a father cat was looking for a family. A woman called and we agreed that we would give her our cat. The last puppy was just delivered to her,” says the girl. “They took the dog, but the cat disappeared.” They looked for him everywhere - no, that’s all. We waited for three hours. Then they waved their hand and took the puppy away. And when we returned, our Murzik showed up. The following days there was ice, we didn’t go anywhere. As a result, the woman who wanted to take him felt bad, and she decided to give him up. And if I took the Animal as I felt. Since then he has never left.
But the purring father of the puppies also found himself in new caring hands with adventures.
- A man wanted to surprise his wife - their beloved black and white cat died two years ago. We agreed to meet him, I arrived with the cat, I called. But he doesn’t answer. 10 calls without answer,” Ekaterina continues to tell. - Well, I think how ugly a man is acting. I decided to make a follow-up call. His wife picked up the phone. But she doesn’t know about the cat, I told her this story, that her husband wants to give her a surprise, that our cat is an adoptive father. And she tells me, take it.
When Catherine arrived, the woman hugged the cat to herself.
- This is the most expensive gift from my husband! – she was touched.
And when her husband returned home, he called Ekaterina. It turned out that he arrived upset and empty-handed. He walks into the house, and there is a new family member!
The new owners named the hero-father Marquis. In his new home, he has not yet been seen catching mice.
Mom is not the one who gave birth, but the one who raised. And the father..."
