This 2016 tale is simply too sweet to keep to myself. In Thailand, a tiny newborn kitten was seen wandering the streets by itself. A neighboring family was out and about enjoying the evening when they caught sight of the small man on the street.

They saw that this was no ordinary cat upon closer examination because it didn’t like any of the other kittens they had seen. The Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand (WFFT), an animal group, was contacted by the family and promptly dispatched a representative to inspect the animal.

The group determined after a thorough investigation that this animal was a fishing cat, a unique kind of cat that is in danger of going extinct.
