A wholesome TikTok moment has captured the hearts of Malaysians, showcasing a man rescuing a tiny kitten from the middle of a road and raising it into a healthy, grown cat.
The first clip, dated August 25, 2024, shows a man carefully picking up a tiny kitten stranded in the middle of a busy road.
The kitten looks fragile, sitting helplessly amidst the pavement as the man carries it to safety.
A paw-sitive impact
The video transitions to footage dated December 17, 2024, revealing the same kitten — now a lively and healthy cat — sitting in the man’s car.

Netizens were quick to joke about how this was the literal embodiment of the iconic Asian parent’s phrase, “Last time I picked you up from the dustbin.”
One user hilariously declared, “My cat went from B40 to T20,” comparing the feline’s glow-up to a rags-to-riches transformation.

Another chimed in, “This is where I picked you up, don’t make me drop you back here,” channeling the ultimate Asian parent energy.

Of course, the star of the comments had to be the witty remark about the cat remembering its roots: “He even showed the cat where it was picked up!”

Honestly, the cat’s probably wondering if it signed up for a reality check when it hopped into that car.
Even the creator jumped in, adding their own cheeky take on the “hospital” origins.
