How does a cat know when they’ve discovered “their” human? We can’t begin to comprehend how they simply know, but it’s a wonderful thing to witness. Over the years, we’ve seen so many examples of cats seeming to instinctively know when the right person comes along. Clearly, we could all use a cat’s talent at picking the right folks to be around. Here’s an example where a cat named Bubba definitely knew the instant he saw his future Cat Dad appear at a rescue in Idaho Falls, ID.
Bubba arrived at the shelter around three months old with his sister Diva, who was adopted before him. July 18, 2018. Image via Facebook/Snake River Animal Shelter
Bubba the Cat Knew the Minute He Saw Dad
A couple from West Jordan, Utah, happily made the journey to the Snake River Animal Shelter in Idaho to adopt a cat. Alexis, her boyfriend Gus, and his sister drove for 3.5 hours with a mission. They wanted Gus’s sister to find the purrfect cat for herself, which she happily did.
But in the meantime, another feline named Bubba spotted Gus. As you can see in the video below, he undeniably chose him as his human on the spot!

Curiously, the cat clung to Gus with all his might, refusing to let anyone else hold him. It was so cute and seems to have been meant to be. So it’s no surprise that Gus and Alexis chose to adopt him on the spot, too! They came back the next day to finalize TWO adoptions.
Two Cats Found Homes
On the long drive home, the kitty busted out of the cardboard carrier and immediately got back to cuddling! Gus and Bubba watched movies together the rest of the way.
“It was a 3.5-hour drive home he broke out of the box within 10 minutes and cuddled with us in the car the whole time he’s so sweet,” Alexis shared.
Meanwhile, Gus’s sister was thrilled to see her brother find his soul cat. And she adopted her soul cat too, Misty, a gorgeous dilute calico kitty seen in the TikTok below.
“Thank you @Snake River Animal Shelter
for giving us two amazing cats!” Alexis share.
At home, the love fest continued.
The kitty and his dad spent many wonderful moments together.
They were destined to be together, even making the same face sometimes.
A couple of months later, a black kitten, Onyx, joined the family. The sweet void kitten was welcomed with open paws by his older brother.
An update two years later shows all the kitties are doing fabulously. But lovable Bubba has gotten huge and has a luxurious fluffy coat now.
