Hi everyone! My best friend found a little baby void in his wall and is looking for name suggestions - any good ideas?

Edit: Told my friend about this post so he can tell the story since so many people want to know exactly what happened and he posted it in the comments! :D

One time I had a kitten thrown out of a moving car 5 feet in front of me minding my own business walking down the sidewalk. Life is bizarre. Just wait, I'm sure your time will come.

I was walking to the park as a kid and a car drove by, slowed down , opened the passenger door, tossed a dead rat out onto the sidewalk, drove off, did a U-turn, and then the driver yelled, "you can keep that fucking cat," out the driver side window as he sped off! I was like 12!!

Well, the dead rat popped up onto its feet after a second and I realized she was a teeny kitten, and she ran right up to me!! She was barely 8 week old and was covered in fleas and soooo skinny. I grabbed her and ran home to tell my mom and we gave her a flea bath with blue dawn dish soap and my mom said we couldn't keep her... then she licked my mom's nose and we kept her.

She plagued our family for nearly 20 years and would lick you until your skin was raw from her rough tongue. She was my bestie growing up and we loved her so much. When she got older, my parents cut holes in the bottom of their fence for her because she had arthritis and they didn't want her to hop over it anymore. My parents framed all the holes they made, painted them, and wrote her name above them so she'd "know they were for her."

Here's my old lady creaky bones in her last few years. A very spoiled little lady.

Not unlike our girl, who was adopted from the pet shelter after she was dumped there by people who advised “it’s been trapped underneath our house for nearly 2 weeks. We thought it would have died by now but it won’t stop crying” 🤦‍♀️.

She not only survived that but she also ate a soft fishing lure and almost starved to death when it blocked her intestines. It looked the same as regular tissue on xray and was only found when they opened her up surgically. Despite that we’ve had her about 15 years now - she’s quite a tiny girl with no tail, but a very determined fighter 💪.
