Some people choose a pet very carefully. They spend a long time deciding what animal they will take into the family, discussing a breed. Others get a pet that appears in their life unexpectedly. But this doesn’t mean that they love their four-legged friends any less.

There was no money, the fridge was empty for 2 days, and there was nowhere to get income from. I’m walking with my son, and a big, gorgeous cat starts following us. I think, we’ll live with a cat somehow.
We came home, shared what we had with the cat, he ate and went to sleep. And then we looked closely and realized that the cat was a girl. And she was pregnant. Why oh why?! © Overheard / Ideer

Our upstairs neighbor is a very arrogant lady. She always has a serious face, and you can’t get a smile or a banal “good morning” from her. A couple of days ago, a dog came to our building. It was just a mongrel dog, the neighbors were feeding it.
And this morning I saw that the “iron” lady, without changing in the face, came up to the dog, gave something to eat and, stroked the animal a couple of minutes, and took the doggy with her. I hope they are both happy. © Overheard / Ideer

We have a rat called Chuchundra living in our office. A friend of our boss went to the other end of the country to work on a contract, and he asked to find it a new home. The boss couldn’t leave the rat at home — he has 2 cats, which immediately began to show culinary interest in it.
He brought it to work, began to offer it to everyone, but no one wanted to take it. Some people had their own pets, others had family members who were allergic or afraid of rodents. The boss left her in the office for a while, he wanted to ask other acquaintances and asked us to help him find new owners.
But the search somehow didn’t go well, and we all quickly got used to the fact that we were greeted with a cheerful murmur in the morning. Thus, Chuchundra became everyone’s favorite. © Overheard / Ideer

My daughter brought a little mutt off the street yesterday. It was dirty and shaggy. Well, we didn’t kick it back: we washed it, combed its hair.
All night, the dog didn’t let us sleep — he ran around the flat. And in the morning we found out that he wanted to get to the goodies on the table. He tried this way and that way — somehow he pulled a stool out from under the table and climbed on it. He ate everything.
Of course, we kept the dog, he’s everybody’s favorite now. But we’ve been hiding the food ever since.

“On Friday night, my life was divided into a ’before’ and ’after.’ On my way home from work, I found a tiny kitten. I couldn’t just leave it, so I took it home. Wrote to the shelter, they said they don’t take such small kittens.
So I kept it. Since I wasn’t allowed to take a leave to care for the baby, I now take the four-legged coworker with me to work, as well as the set of a young mother: formula, bottle, wipes. Named Morty. It’s mine now!”
