This incredible, merciful video gives us all a chance to ‘paws’ to reflect on how every creature is important to God. A stranger saves an estranged cat from flood waters during hurricane Ian. 

As I sit here in the comfort of my home surrounded by rows upon rows of corn, my cats are snuggled up and giving each other baths. At the same time, we are praying for those who are impacted by Hurricane Ian–one of the biggest and perhaps most catastrophic storms in history. 

While the entire world witnessed 155 mph winds and watched homes being washed away, those who were in the thick of the storm banded together to take care of each other. 

In this incredible video, a man risked his life to rescue a frightened cat. The brown and white cat sought to get high above the water, but he could only reach the top of an air conditioner as raging waters swept through the neighborhood. 

A man and his wife saw the cat and knew he needed help. As he waded through the two-and-a-half-foot high waves, the cat looked to be relieved and scared all at once. 

The cat didn’t know if this stranger was a friend or foe, or whether or not to use his death daggers on the gentleman. But as the flowing waters continued to rage, the stranger approached and coaxed the frightened feline to allow him to carry him to safety. 

The moment the stranger picks up the cat, you can see the relief and gratitude in his demeanor as he paws at the man’s shoulder. If you are in the thick of an actual storm or one of the storms of life, let this beautiful rescue be an encouragement that God is with you in the storm!
