On a Sunday morning a few years ago, Jo Palma took his family dog out for a walk. As he was turning a corner, he suddenly noticed a tiny kitten appear out of nowhere.

Despite being a 2-week-old stray, the kitten wasn’t shy at all. He marched right up to Palma and even jumped on top of his dog.

The kitten joined in on Palma’s walk, following him everywhere he went. It became clear he was completely alone, with no parents or siblings in sight. The kitten was barely the size of Palma’s hand, so Palma guessed he was likely the runt of his litter.

“[I]mmediately, my dad instincts just kicked in,” Palma told The Dodo. “I knew if I didn’t do anything, he was gonna die.”

For Palma, the decision to adopt the kitten was a no-brainer. He decided to name him Leo. From their very first day together, Leo felt comfortable with his new dad.

“He was completely happy that he was found,” Palma said. “He was so curious about everything.”

As a 2-week-old kitten, Leo needed to be bottle-fed every few hours. Palma decided to feed him during his own mealtimes so they could eat together. This habit quickly led to them doing everything else together, too. Before long, the two were completely inseparable.

“I could not leave him alone, so I just had to take him everywhere,” Palma said.

Palma took Leo with him in the car, to work and even to the gym. Leo liked sitting on Palma’s shoulders as he did bench presses and pull-ups.

“He would actually do some of the exercises with me,” Palma said.

Leo is just as affectionate today as he was the day he walked up to Palma and asked to be adopted.

They still do everything together — hiking, going to the beach and, of course, cuddling at home.

  1. Good site! I really love how it is simple on my eyes and the data are well written. I am wondering how I might be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your feed which must do the trick! Have a nice day!

  2. I’ve been browsing on-line greater than 3 hours as of late, yet I never found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It’s lovely value sufficient for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made just right content as you did, the internet will likely be much more helpful than ever before.
