Every morning for three days, Jacob noticed a peculiar sight on his way to work: a cat sitting unmoving in the snow. Its persistence and lack of movement sparked his concern, leading him to investigate on the third day. What he discovered next to the cat in the freezing cold was so unexpected and alarming that it compelled him to call the police immediately.
As Jacob approached, the reason behind the cat's unwavering vigil became heartbreakingly clear, revealing a situation far more serious than he had ever anticipated.
Jacob didn’t think much of the cat the first time he saw it. It was just sitting there in the snow. Sure, Jacob felt a little sorry for the animal, but it could always get up and walk over to a warmer place, right? Well, when Jacob spotted the same cat in the exact same place the next day, he began to doubt his initial way of thinking.
As he passed the cat on day two, he looked at it intently, trying to see if it was actually still alive. Luckily, he noticed the cat’s breathing. He instantly felt relieved, but the question about why the cat wouldn’t just go someplace warm lingered in his mind. He had never owned a cat before, so he didn’t know much about them, but even he knew sitting outside in this weather wasn’t healthy.
On the third day, Jacob couldn’t take it anymore. The cat had even more frost on its fur than before and was visibly shaking. Taking it home wasn’t an option for Jacob, as he was allergic to cats, but he was desperate to help the poor animal some other way. That’s why he decided to go to the pet store and buy the cat some food and a blanket.
Jacob figured if the cat didn’t want to move to a warm place for some reason, he would bring the warmth to the cat. He bought a soft-lined box specially designed for cats and some food to put inside it. He also bought an extra little blanket for inside the box and some treats just to give the cat some extra comfort.
