Hikers Catch a Paint-Covered Ragdoll Kitten at the Trailhead, Then They Cancel Their Trek and Seize the Adorable Cat, Giving the Kitten the Love and Care They Deserve

Not all cats are naturally regal, but a ragdoll cat was born to be the divine overlord of the house. Cat lovers who have ragdoll kitties know that their long, luxurious fur is softer than a chinchilla and more illustrious than any cozy capes, giving these kitties a floofy edge over the competition for ‘Best Dressed.’ While ragdoll cats are an excellent example of in-home regality, they have the opposite effect out in nature. 

These cats were not designed for the outdoor world. 

They’re too plushy, too lavish. So when this outdoorsy couple discovered a fluffy feline kitty, covered in burrs, paint, and whatever else the outside world decided to mat into his once-beautiful fur, they were flabbergasted. This ragdoll kitten looked more like a shoe brush than his regal, natural self, and they immediately scooped him up to care for him like he deserved. Keep reading for the whole story of this adorable, cloud-like kitten whose life turned around the moment he stumbled upon the purrfect trailhead.
