Blind Cat Hugs The Phone Everytime His Favorite Pianist Plays



Is there anything better than your favorite song? Beautiful is an amazing thing. The sweet melodies, meaningful lyrics, and the emotions stirred within are all things that make us fall in love with a tune. Music can help soothe and calm us, it can help us get through the times we thought we would never survive.

If you’ve been paying attention to our cat news, you’ve likely seen a few stories about music-loving kitties. For example, this story about four kittens who showed up to support a street musician the rest of the world ignored. Or this one, about a foster kitten who sings lullabies with her sweet foster mom. Now, I’ll be the first to admit those stories are adorable— I mean, I am the one who wrote them. But when it comes to heartwarming stories about cats and music, this one definitely takes the cake.

Last year, pianist Sarper Duman made international headlines after sharing a few heartwarming videos on his Instagram. The pianist had rescued nine stray cats from the street, and the videos showed him soothing and calming them with his gorgeous piano melodies.




In Duman’s videos, the kitties always look content and relaxed, soothed by the man’s beautiful tones. Recently, however, Duman discovered his cats aren’t the only ones soothed by his music. His songs have been bringing comfort to a blind cat from nearly halfway around the world!

The video was sent to Duman by a fan and shows a blind ginger cat cuddling a cellphone as he listens to Duman’s piano playing.




At the beginning of the video, the cell phone is leaning against a pillow with one of the pianist’s videos clearly on display.




As the music begins emanating from the speakers, however, the orange cat slowly reaches over and pulls the phone towards his face.




He then nestles into the plastic, cuddling the music and deriving comfort from the sweet man’s sounds.




The short video is incredibly moving. Duman shared it on his Instagram account where it received over 84,000 likes.


Alongside the video, the pianist wrote: “This has been the most touching message I’ve ever received. This beautiful blind cat’s name is Namik. They say he acts that way whenever he is shown my videos.”

To be honest, it’s impossible to explain the emotion of this video to someone who has never seen it. The way Namik clutches the phone and cuddles the singer through the screen is one of the most moving things I’ve seen in a very long time.

See it for yourself below!

“I’m Not Leaving You, Mama!” This is What Love Looks Like.

UPDATE: Lizzie and Phantom are currently recovering in an outdoor koala ward within the  Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital . They’re doing swimmingly; Phantom is both gaining weight and exploring his temporary habitat. And of course, mama and baby are sharing more adorable cuddles! For most species in the animal kingdom, the bond between mother and baby is incredibly strong. That's pretty much inarguable. But last week, two koalas in Australia further proved it. After they were hit by a car, Lizzie and her joey, Phantom were welcomed into the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. Six-month-old Phantom had escaped the accident unscathed. Lizzie, however, wasn’t looking so good, what with facial trauma and a collapsed lung. In order to survive, she needed to go under the surgeon’s knife. But this marsupial mama wasn’t alone during the life-saving procedure. Phantom accompanied her and clung to her as she received treatment. The vets let them be; Phantom was too y...

The Sound Of This Baby Rhino Wailing After Its Mother Was Killed By Poachers Will Haunt You

It’s one of the most sorrowful sounds you’ll ever hear, but it’s also a sad reality check for anyone who thinks protected species are safe from illegal poaching. In a video released this in July, a baby rhino named Davi cries for his mother after she was shot and killed by poachers. Most rhinos spend at least three years with their mothers before weaning,  the Dodo  reports, but Davi’s childhood was cut short at just 8 months old. The baby rhino stood close by his mother’s lifeless body until rescuers arrived. They fitted her with earplugs and a blindfold to calm his anxiety on the way to The Rhino Orphanage in South Africa. Source: YouTube/Terrence Daniels Davi huddles close to his mother’s dead body. It was there that Davi spent the night crying. “His calls for mom echoed deeply and urgently throughout the night, but two carers have been with him every step of the way,”  caretakers posted . “At least he is in good physical condition [and] has no injuries...

SIGN NOW! BAN THE SALE OF CRUEL ‘LIVE ANIMAL’ KEYCHAINS

>>> Sign the petition now to tell China to ban live animal keychains! <<< Turtles, fish and lizards are being stuffed and sealed into plastic bags and sold on the streets as keychains in China. The cost of these animals lives? About $1.50. Swimming in a small pool of colored water, the animals only last until the oxygen is used up. Then, they can theoretically be released and kept as pets – although it’s doubtful that the same people who think an animal makes a nifty trinket have the slightest clue about how to properly care for them. In an interview with CNN, David Neale, animal welfare director of Animals Asia said, “Lack of food and diminishing oxygen concentrations within both the water and the small amount of air in these plastic pouches will cause the animals to die in a relatively short period of time after the pouches are sealed.” 😠So Cruel😠 ACTUAL REAL LIVE ANIMALS are being sealed into tiny plastic pouches and sold as f**king ke...
