Meeting and helping stray cats is not an easy task.

However, a netizen from abroad, Nikki Byrne (Nikki Byrne), has changed from a person who has never owned a cat to a person who has dozens of cats because of a simple accident. The cat shovel officer.

Last winter, Byrne wanted to grow some herbs in pots in the backyard. She went to the local nursery and found that the only plant that looked healthy was catnip.

Byrne, who had never raised a cat, didn't think much about it at the time, so he planted two pots in the backyard.

One morning not long after, Byrne heard movement in the flower pots outside. When she looked out the window, she saw a big, old tabby cat on the fence.

It turned out that the cat knocked over the flower pot while rubbing the catnip.

Byrne was incredulous, saying, I've never lived with a cat, so I really don't understand why cats are so resistant to catnip.

Since then, the tabby cat has come to the backyard to smoke catnip every day. Byrne nicknamed the cat Mr. and began providing the cat with food and water.

Being well cared for by Byrne, plus catnip in this backyard. Soon, Mr. Cat's children started showing up to play in this cozy yard.

Bourne was not idle either. She turned the backyard into a playground for stray cats, providing them with toys, scratching boards, tunnels, cat houses, and more.

These kittens are very enthusiastic and proactive in interacting with Bourne, accepting everything this friendly human has to offer them. Only Mr. has always been calm and vigilant, always keeping his distance from Bourne and guarding the kittens like an old man.

Byrne said: I had to work very hard to prove to it that I was not dangerous in exchange for Mr.'s trust.

With time and Byrne's patience, she finally won The trust of Mr. Cat.

Byrne said: He doesn't look like a cat that has been successfully approached by humans. But now he's actively eating from my hand and willing to let me pet it.

Byrne said:

As cute as the kittens are, Byrne knows they need more than food and toys.

She turned to a local community cat organization for help with TNR (catch-neuter-release) for the stray cats.

In just one year, Byrne has helped generations of cats in her community.

No one thought it was all thanks to a few pots of catnip.

Of course, the most important thing is Bourne's kindness towards stray animals.
