Rocky and the Surprise Rainstorm Adventure

I did not expect a walk to turn into a rescue mission, but that is what happened with Rocky, my one-and-a-half-year-old Khao Manee girl. She is white with soft ears and very confident for her size.

It started raining just as we reached the small soi behind our Sukhumvit condo. Rocky, who normally hates water, decided the puddles were a brand new playground. She splashed through three of them before I could catch her.

Then she spotted a tiny kitten under a parked tuk-tuk, shivering and soaked. Rocky sat right next to it as if she were guarding it. I called the security guard, and we carried the little one into the building lobby wrapped in towels.

Rocky stayed beside it the whole time, purring like a motor. The kitten now lives with a neighbor who loves cats, and Rocky still walks past that tuk-tuk every evening to check on it.
