A construction worker's lunch break took a surprising turn when a stray cat approached him for food. This encounter changed his life forever. The worker filmed the orange cat eating his ham and fries and shared the video on TikTok. His wife encouraged him to take the cat home. In the video, the wife shared her concern for the cat, saying she looked malnourished and was craving human affection. After taking the cat to a veterinarian, they learned that she was a female and had several health issues, including missing teeth. They named her Lucky and committed to giving her a better life. Stray cats face many challenges, including finding food and shelter. They have a much shorter lifespan compared to indoor cats. Experts say stray cats typically live only two to five years due to various dangers, including traffic. In the U.S., millions of cats are hit by cars each year, with most not surviving. Lucky's story has gained attention on social media, with the video receiving over 259,000 views. Many users praised the couple for helping her, while also commenting on how cats often choose their humans. Currently, there are an estimated 60 to 100 million stray and feral cats in America, many of whom face uncertain fates.
