In a tale that is melting hearts on the Internet, Matt Ramsey’s unexpected encounter with a stray kitten has become the latest viral sensation. What started as a routine day outside his office turned into a heartwarming saga of feline affection, capturing the attention and admiration of social media users everywhere.
It all started when Matt was outside his office and a curious kitten started playing around his feet. The little furball cuddled with him made eye contact and even attempted to climb up his legs.

In one particular adorable instance, Matt posted about the kitten falling asleep on him despite the cosy bed he prepared for the kitten.
“They’re very sleepy. Not sleepy enough to lay in the box, but very sleepy on my chest. I assume this is like couch sleepy vs bed sleepy for people,” he added.
Matt also documented the kitten’s meals, including some soaked dog kibble and scrambled eggs. He even introduced the kitten to his dog, Spike, who appeared “interested.”
“No barks or chomps. Lot of licks. Yes I’m sitting in the tub… seemed the safest place to isolate them since he won’t get in the tub unless forced,” Matt added.
Amid the playful antics, Matt didn’t forget the essentials and arranged a vet appointment. He shared, “She is apparently around 6-7 weeks old. She has ear mites which we treated and she was also given dewormer. I was also given some basic cat raising info which was very helpful.”

“We picked up some toys and actual food and water bowls while we were out. Also got her some wet food and those gogurt looking treats that people keep talking about. But then I had to go into work. I’ll post pics of her setup tomorrow,” he added.

Matt’s heartwarming interaction with the kitten struck a chord with many online, sparking the comment section with playful comments.
One user cheekily remarked, “You have been blessed by the Cat Distribution System. A cat owns you now. Give it wet food and ask its permission to share its bed since the bed belongs to the cat now as well.”
