A stray kitten in Australia snuck into a pizza shop and immediately decided to purchase something off the menu; the adorable tabby kitten begged the cook to provide her with a new home and a loving family, and the shocked chef had no choice but to agree.
Dave, also known as Grumpy Chef Dave, had no intention of adopting a cat, but he couldn’t say no when a surprise customer appeared in his kitchen.
Dave quickly realized the kitty was not going anywhere, so he simply accepted her presence.
“I popped her up on my shoulder and she felt right at home,” Dave explained.
This arrangement seemed to suit the kitty, who happily curled up to Dave’s neck.
However, Dave was concerned that a heartbroken family was searching for their lost pet.

However, Dave was concerned that a heartbroken family was searching for their lost pet.
And the kitten didn’t want to be a part of anyone else’s family but Dave’s.
The small kitten revealed that she already had a home — right there with him – as he tried to find her a home.
The cat nestled up in Dave’s lap and fell asleep while Dave considered what to do with the fuzzy little stranger.
Dave realized he was now her pet-father after hearing her quiet purr and seeing her contented tiny face, and he would do whatever to keep his new furbaby safe and happy.
Dave took her to the vet, who gave her a round of vaccinations and a microchip to make it official.
He gave his new family member the name “Ratbag the Vandal,” and the two became fast friends.
Dave and Ratbag are closer than they’ve ever been.
The charming little kitten has matured into a lovely, lively, and playful young cat who sleeps next to Dave every night.
Their love is deep, pure, and unshakable, and they consider themselves extremely fortunate to have discovered each other.
When Ratbag stepped into the kitchen on that sunny day, she seemed to know precisely what she was doing.
Dave was destined to become her new family, and the two of them would bring so much joy to each other’s lives, she knew.
Their story is incredibly touching, and news of their friendship has brought joy to people all across the world.
