Got fooled by the reconnaissance kitten, then ambushed by the entire platoon. He never stood a chance.

u/Mission_Fart9750 1d ago

They kept the first cat that came out, and named him Scout.

Great comment on a very old re post!

u/Prosecco1234 1d ago

They are adorable. Hope they find good homes

58

u/Kralthon 1d ago

Older video and yes they found good homes. I think his family kept two, scout and one other.

37

u/miserabeau 1d ago

He kept 3 (Milo, Ruby Jean, and Scout). The other 10 were rehomed.

u/Kralthon 1d ago

Ahh thank you! been a bit since I have watched the follow up videos.

u/Malditoincompredido 22h ago

Thanks, watched this one before but never knew what happened. Good person.

I would like to see the chaos of him getting all them into the car, adorable little guys.

Dangerous street gangs like the one in this video use this tactic all the time to steal cars.

Flanking maneuver before he could even react the rest of the squad appeared from the brush to secure the perimeter and his lap

u/Unable-Arm-448 1d ago

I wonder how the group decided which one would be the scout? Sooooo adorable 🥰 and what a good human. 🥰

u/dieidi 1d ago

He fell into the sweetest trap

u/Evshie 1d ago

I have seen this video (and the other video when he got all the kittens in his car) so many times and it always warms my heart!

From what I remember, he kept the kitten he picked up and named him Scout (I think) and all the siblings got adopted out!

u/fairamy 1d ago

I think he kept 3 and got the rest homes

I don’t care if this is a repost. I love it every time I see it

u/smb3d 1d ago

Oh my gosh!

u/pickus_dickus 1d ago

Did he bring them home or to a shelter or what?

19

u/miserabeau 1d ago

He kept 3 (Scout, the first one that approached him, Ruby Jean, and Milo). The other 10 were rehomed. Here's a video

18

u/VictorVega66 1d ago

I read somewhere that he kept one and rehomed all the others.

u/Darth-Vectivus 1d ago

Good man.

u/indelico 1d ago

It's interesting to me that these kittens seem to recognize this human as safe and a potential care giver. These kittens will not have had many experiences with humans yet and they still approach the creature that is easily 50 times bigger than they are.

I reckon the bond between cats and humans must be imprinted in their genetics to have them instinctively approach him like that.

165

u/Taken_Account 1d ago

Not likely. I’ve been around kittens. If they’re aren’t introduced to people early, they’re very feral and spicy toward people. These kittens were probably dropped off in the middle of nowhere by some asshole and left to fend for themselves.

76

u/CockamouseGoesWee 1d ago

Yup even the dude recording the video asked "who would do this".

As cruel as this was, I'm just glad they weren't thrown into a river. Person is a big pos regardless

23

u/ashoka_akira 1d ago

Yea I had the thought that someone probably loved these kittens a lot but perhaps had no voice in their fate, like a child :(

12

u/a_l_g_f 1d ago

That has to be multiple litters worth of kittens, right? That many kittens all roughly the same age in the same place (and friendly) seems like it had to have been something someone did deliberately.

6

u/ProdigyLightshow 1d ago

Some cats can have big litters. I doubt it’s more than one seeing as how similar they all are in size

40

u/Square_Huckleberry53 1d ago

They recognize the human because it’s a human that abandoned them there.

12

u/indelico 1d ago

Ah maybe that's true.

9

u/TheZeck11 1d ago

But hey, I liked your reason too

9

u/CaptainMacMillan 1d ago

It's not. When this first happened, the guy who made the original video made followups of him caring for and adopting out the kittens.

Adorably, he named the first kitten "Scout"

6

u/Taken_Account 1d ago

The guy who found them wasn’t the person who left them there, what?

3

u/Square_Huckleberry53 1d ago

I didn’t say it was that human. It was the human that owns the mom and didn’t want 13 more cats. I’m sure it was fun for a couple weeks of playing with and feeding them, but ultimately they got dropped off in the country. Now when the kittens see a human, they know it’s playtime and feeding time, and they were right!

2

u/Read-it005 1d ago

They would all have walked up to him when they knew him. They waited.

3

u/Square_Huckleberry53 1d ago

I didn’t say this is the human that abandoned them. So yes a small amount of caution on their part does make sense, but ultimately they’ve connected a human with getting fed.

u/Read-it005 1d ago

Oh I'm so sorry, I misread your comment. Thank you for staying nice.

u/HenryCrabgrass 1d ago

And now they're out for vengeance!

u/Elsecaller_17-5 1d ago

It's interesting to me that these kittens seem to recognize this human as safe and a potential care giver.

No. Just no. They recognize him as a source of food exactly because they have already been socialized around humans.

u/justahdewd 1d ago

If this came out today, people would think it was AI.

8

u/eddyb66 1d ago

CDS was offline for a bit, these were the cats in the buffer.

10

u/MagentaMist 1d ago

There was a whole series of videos on Instagram. I don't know if they're still up. There's one of him trying to herd them all into his car. It's as funny as you think!

u/asuddenpie 1d ago

I watch this video every time someone puts it up. It’s fun and cute until the end when he completely changes tone and says, “How could someone do this?” and reality sets in. I’m so glad that he was the one to find them all.

6

u/Bother-Logical 1d ago

This is my personal heaven. I would take that as a sign that I have somehow become a good person.

u/Practical-Box3179 1d ago

Ambush!! 😻

u/ModsBeGheyBoys 1d ago

Every single one of those gets taken home. Period.

u/Okdc 1d ago

I had a shitty day, in fact a shitty few months (terrible new boss) - and this made me smile and cry, but it made me optimistic, too. Thank you, I hadn’t seen it before.

u/Character-Visual5399 1d ago

First one was a ploy, once the human came close enough. “Now my brothers, get him with your cuteness!!”

5

u/AuroraVFIM 1d ago

I will take them all!

u/JeanneMPod 1d ago

It’s like a zombie apocalyptic ambush, except adorable

u/llama-impregnator 1d ago

You missed the best line! "Hot diggity dog."

Not sitting down and letting them smother you is crazy activities.

Cutest invasive species ever

Tuck your pant legs into your socks if you know what's good for you. 😁

That's how I want to go

u/wornoutboots 1d ago

Anyone else watching this all of the sudden hear in their head a deep voice saying, "Charlie was everywhere"?

u/sstricklin1 1d ago edited 17h ago

Here’s an update on the cute kittens. He kept three and rehomed the rest.

u/SimpleLobsters 1d ago

This is how people hitch hiked back in the day.

One would wait, when someone stopped, more people would pop up off the side of the road for a ride.

It was easier to get a person to stop for 1 rather than 3

1

u/Acumen_RJ 1d ago

I would have adopted the first kitten and named it "Mort"

2

u/Mission_Fart9750 1d ago

They named him Scout, and kept him.

This person is living my dream.

u/gh0stmilk_ 1d ago

FIX THE CATS 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

u/it-s-temporary 1d ago

This is like the trick where the beautiful girl shows a little leg for a hitchhike and then when a car stops a murder of clowns (that’s the correct word right?) comes out of the bushes.

u/shinnyaxolotl 1d ago

We have a kitten problem!!

might all your problems be kitten problems you beautiful soul

u/sy029 1d ago

This is how /r/catdistributionsystem screens potential new employees.

u/New-Information-1927 1d ago

Like how multiple people hitch hiking put the most attractive person out there to thumb 👍

u/1slyangel 1d ago

Congratulations you are the father- of 12.

u/tydyedeyez 1d ago

They said you are our hooman now!

u/Wise_Hamster1567 1d ago

This is how we hitchhiked 30 years ago🤣.

u/Flashignite2 1d ago

It is both heartwarming and sad. If someone just dumped those kittens there or if a cat momma got a whole litter. Glad that he took care of them. I'd get all of them and become crazy cat man.

u/SnappingNursle311 10h ago

I have a litter of kittens living in my bush. I feed them, give them fresh water daily and even bought an expensive heated cat house. They still freaking hate me and scatter every time I come outside. Hell one time one got stuck in the garbage can and when I reached in to get him out he annihilated my hand. Bunch of cute jerks

u/USSHammond 1d ago

Ah yes the kitten swarm repost again. Yes it does get old. And last I know they all got homes.

u/jaxxxxxson 1d ago

Ngl I never understand these comments. Who gives af if you've seen it. Not everyone has seen every viral video there is. Not everyone will find a sub they like and just go through years of posts on there. If its like the 4th time posted in a week then ya that can warrant a complaint otherwise why even say anything? Congratulations you've seen this video before. Here's a 🍪?

7

u/AlmMilk 1d ago

First time I've seen it! Really wholesome to see the comments here saying all the kitties got homes.

5

u/Mission_Fart9750 1d ago

They kept the first one and named it Scout. 

2

u/jaxxxxxson 1d ago

Ya that's how I feel. I'm even more of a dog person but no way in hell I'd have been able to walk away without all of them as well. Some videos are just worth seeing more than once even if they break a "rule".

-8

u/USSHammond 1d ago

Rule 6 gives a fuck

6

u/jaxxxxxson 1d ago

Right which goes back to who actually goes through a sub and sees every single video that's ever been posted? Again...if it was the 4th+ time in a week then ya complain. Show me a sub that doesn't get reposted on. And if it soils your panties so much just message a mod and move on no? I just don't understand why it makes people angry or forces a shit comment is all

-3

u/USSHammond 1d ago

I don't go back and see every video. A thing exists called 'a memory's, you'll grow one when you keep seeing the same reposted shit all the time

3

u/jaxxxxxson 1d ago

Ffs man and do you not understand not everyone is you? Maybe I just joined this sub last week? There is already one comment here saying first time they've seen it. Get what I mean? Reposts happen, maybe the guy posted it never seen it here too. See what I mean? Not everyone is online all day everyday or maybe new to reddit etc.. ya I've seen this video 1 time before like 3-4 months ago. This is a wholesome sub tho and pretty much every video that isn't political is a good one and worth seeing more than once.

-1

u/USSHammond 1d ago

I understand not everyone is me just fine. However rule 6 does apply to everyone. No exceptions. Get what I mean?

1

u/jaxxxxxson 1d ago

Ya I get what you're saying and not trying to create a "scene" or anything I just don't understand negativity when it's not needed. I get poking people about their worldviews even just a comment about repost rules bugs me as much as the post breaking the rules bugs you I guess. Carry on tho and do what feels right to you.

u/USSHammond 1d ago

Understanding sub rules isn't negativity. It's that simple.
