Moment Kind Resident Sticks Brolly In Ground For Soaking Stray Cat In Pouring Rain

This is the moment a kindhearted resident holds his umbrella out for a sopping-wet stray cat in the pouring rain before sticking it in the ground to give the animal a makeshift roof over its head.

The cute scene was filmed in the city of Nanning in the Chinese province of Guangxi on 23rd September.

According to the news site Sina, the man saw the cat shivering in the rain while returning home and walked over to it with his umbrella.

He kept the cat dry for a few moments by holding it over its head and body, and then decided to sacrifice his brolly for the moggy’s wellbeing, sticking it into the ground and leaving it behind as a makeshift shelter.

In the footage, the man is seen standing near a pavement where a cat is crouched and apparently soaking wet.

As he holds his umbrella over himself and the cat, the rain is seen falling heavily around them.
