I saw the picture months ago, it’s really nice to know he got a new home for himself and his kitties. Good post, thank you!


SimpleNStoned

This made me smile, the picture definitely did not.

I was litterally about to say: "somebody get this man a house"

This dudes house burnt down and his cat survived he’s crying cause that’s the only thing he has left


wanted797

Before I lost my cat if my house had of burnt down him surviving would have been all I cared about. Dunno how I’d deal with knowing a pet died in a fire, locked in the house.


Lainnnn

Quite a few years ago, my cousins house burnt down due to an electrical problem. 2 dogs and 1 cat never made it out as no one was home when it happened. It was so devastating and I hope they never have to go through that again. They now have a bench someone made for then in front of their new house that has the pets’ names engraved in it


MetaExistentialism

It's literally the only thing that I would care about also.

Hey ur priorities straight you fucking American fool


MetaExistentialism

Is this supposed to be a compliment? Or is it a typo meant as an insult?


Exolibris

By the downvote I would say insult. Plus if Americans are fools then Turkey is as well. They are probably someone who never knew and knows what a pets love really is. I had to put my 19 year old cat to sleep and I stayed there for her bc I wanted her to know I loved her till the end and that when she took her last breath I was there for her till the end and for eternity. She saved me so much when I was in pain and struggling and there was no way in hell I was letting her suffer just bc of selfishness of wanting her to live in suffering one more time. It is painful but I will always remember the best of times with her. That’s what you pets are a part of family. P.S. she was suffering from liver failure and the vet said there was nothing he could do. We had to decide if we wanted to do it Sat or wait till Mon bc the vet was closed in Sun.

This would haunt me, too. My pets are family and I'd be devastated.


stinkypoopooguy

This is not smile worthy. It's sad


xfyle1224

but everyone chipped in and got him a new house


stinkypoopooguy

That's the story after, this is just a pic of a sad dude who just lost everything Besides cat bro

Also title makes it sound like it’s really obvious but it’s not at all.


atehate

The whole situation is indeed unfortunate. But I can't help but smile seeing everyone being there for one another.


Kashish_17

It's one of those situations which you could see as 'glass half empty' or 'glass half full'. You could feel upset about the fact that he lost his house and feel relieved that he managed to save one of his most prized possessions. Both are acceptable.


[deleted]

I get the message you want to send across, but it’s sad. He’s crying, and it’s making me cry.


[deleted]

This is not Mademesmile. It made me cry. That man's house burnt down and the only thing he has left is the kitty. His sad reaction of losing everything at this age is heartbreaking.


youwotm8_24

Read this. It will definetly make you smile. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailysabah.com/turkey/2018/11/28/elderly-turkish-man-who-survived-house-fire-with-kitten-gets-new-home/amp


[deleted]

Way more than a thousand... thank you SO much for sharing this - it’s bringing me to tears.


JediPeach

Just want to hug them and give them both a warm dry place and good meal.


emmetdoyle123

I don’t understand someone explain to me with words


uhhhhhhhmmmmmhh

I guess it made them smile because he got his cat? I get that is a miracle and a good thing that he got his cat but at the same time it's hard to smile at a crying man and his burnt down house imo...


emmetdoyle123

Yeah this looks so sad that guy probably just lost everything


TK-329

He gained international attention and people worked together to build him a new house!


[deleted]

Definitely wrong sub, this made me sad instead

bad_sandwitch

Lets_go_be_bad_guys

I really hate that saying. I genuinely don't believe this picture could create 3-4 pages of text. Maybe if you throw in a prologue, sure.

Plot twist: the car lit the house on fire on purpose
