A Delivery Driver Steps Away From His Car For 5 Minutes And Returns To A Cat
Lauren Kasdan was delivering dinner in a peaceful area one night, and she was anticipating an equally calm night. She stepped out of her car at 11 p.m., dropped the meal off on a customer’s doorstep, texted them to let them know it had come, and then walked back to her car, which was parked nearby. She was just gone for a few of minutes.
And there was a cat waiting for her in the passenger seat when she returned.
Kasdan told The Dodo, “I believed I was hallucinating for a second.” “It was difficult to comprehend. It was just… a cat. “I’m driving.”
Kasdan’s front windows were slightly open, so the cat must have interpreted this as an invitation and jumped straight in. The cat, eventually called Athena, remained unfazed when Kasdan returned to her car. It was almost as though she’d been expecting her.
Kasdan said, “She acted like she was intended to be there.” “She was sniffing about my middle console and the seat like she belonged there.”
‘Oh, hi!’ she said as I returned. Is this your automobile? It’s comfortable and toasty.’ She didn’t try to flee or spook. She really got into my lap and began purring and nibbling at my legs.”
Athena was incredibly thin, dirty and covered in fleas, so Kasdan assumed she’d been living on her own for a while.
She had no idea where the sweet cat had come from, but she knew there was no way she could leave her on her own. Kasdan headed straight to Walgreens, picked up some cat food and litter, and headed to her mom’s house to get Athena all settled in.
Athena was the loveliest thing during the entire procedure. She understood she needed assistance and was thankful to Kasdan and her mother for providing it. Athena was nothing but agreeable, even when Kasdan had to give her a bath to clean her up.
She’d gotten into that automobile in search of assistance, and now that she’d found it, nothing could stop her.
Kasdan said, “I started the water, placed her in gently, and she relaxed almost instantly.” “At first, she was meowing very loudly, but as I started cleaning her with flea and tick shampoo, she quiet down and began purring… When I brought her out, I wrapped her in a towel and held her in my arms till she fell asleep.”
Kasdan looked for a microchip on Athena but couldn’t discover one. Although it’s unlikely that she has a family based on her condition, Kasdan decided to post on numerous lost and found pet pages just in case.
Kasdan and her family have always loved dogs, but when her mother met Athena and realized how nice she was, she knew she would keep her if no one else claimed her.
Athena is settling in so well to her new home and just wants to be loved on constantly. When she hopped into Kasdan’s car that night, she was just hoping for the best — and had no idea that her life was about to change forever.
