In the video below, you can see Leo the cat doing the shopping with his human.
The black cat is wearing a harness and looks delighted to be out shopping.
Life-changing moment
The tom is drawn to all the smells in the pet shop. You can even see him reaching his paws towards a basket, as if to say: "Mum, I'd really love this basket!" It's fair to say that Leo's life has changed dramatically. Just a week earlier, the poor tom was a stray. He survived by eating whatever he could find in street bins.
In the video caption, Leo's owner wrote: "I found him eating trash in an alley a week ago, and now he's picking out his own bed." His transformation is truly heartwarming.
Sharing their stories
Naturally, the video immediately melted viewers' hearts. Comments include: "This life was meant for him". Another person shared: "Mine was sleeping in a McDonald's bag at the end of a scary hallway in a block of flats... he's now spoilt rotten and just celebrated his first birthday."
Sharing a photo of their new family addition, someone commented: "I took in this little guy last week and he's already sleeping in my bed like he pays the bills".
For Leo, this trip to the pet shop marks the end of a difficult existence and the beginning of a pampered new life where choosing his own bed is the most important decision of the day. We wish this now social media star cat all the best!
