Before the cat rescue, however, the fisherman heard a conversation and thought it was a catfish, not an actual cat. To his surprise, he found a real cat. Another fisherman had mentioned a cat in a tree shortly before he got on the water, and he assumed the stranger meant a catfish caught on discarded fishing line. He hadn't understood that the warning was about an animal needing help, and that it concerned a kitten. To his surprise, he heard a kitten meowing from afar. "That guy was talking about an actual cat," he said. All of a sudden, the earlier conversation made sense. Somewhere among the branches over the water was a small animal asking for help. The fisherman decided to get on his kayak and explore the water to save that kitty.
No one would ever expect to find a kitten beneath the highway bridge, between rocks and tangled branches. That's not a place for a kitten. Poor little one; he must have been so scared. How did he end up there? Fortunately, the fisherman finds him, and the kitten makes it aboard, safe and sound. After the fisherman welcomes the little passenger aboard, it nestles between his legs, and they head together safely back to shore. Now, the fisherman's next mission is to find the baby cat a home.
