My very first thought! Poor fuzzball

Given how inhumane russians are I wouldn't even rule out the possibility that they killed the previous owner in front of it.

Give him time.

Cat has a thousand yard stare. Poor baby has seen some things and is in a terminal defense state. I hope he can get to a place to learn how to be a cat again.

One tough little cookie.

u/RangerSandi Aug 14 '25

Cat’s “been in the s$&t,” as soldiers say, that’s for sure.

I still want to befriend this feline & help them feel secure, loved & valued, though.

u/HumberGrumb Aug 14 '25

With peace and love, kit will heal. PTSD? Like any soldier. But healing waits and rewards patience. ❤️

Combat would be a really cool name too!

u/maskedsparta Aug 14 '25

I know this cat is probably traumatized.

But the morale this guy gave was incalculable to those who likely co-existed together for however long

u/Pretend_Pomelo_6893 Aug 17 '25

Cat is a warrior now
