After all, how many times have any of us had a couple of orange tabby kittens jump off a bank in the distance and swim toward our boat? Yet, that's exactly what happened to these two fellas, who have known each other since they only were kids.
Said Frost, "We were sitting there fishing, facing the bank, when behind us we hear a splash. I thought it was a fish jumping out of the water. I turned around and saw something swimming in the water. Then we heard it meow. This is by far the craziest thing I've ever seen," he added... . "Who even knew cats could swim?"
As Frost pulled the kitten to safety, his buddy, Key, heard another splash and looked up to see a second kitten also making its way to their boat.
"There were no houses for miles," he said. "So somebody probably dropped them off there in the middle of the night. They were so desperate they swam all the way out to us and almost jumped in the boat." (See the whole rescue on the video at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8WFqM9wMrQ.)
"They played with us all day," said Frost. "They were loving on us, and people who went by looked at us as though they were wondering, 'Who are those crazy people who took their cats fishing?'"
The angling duo continued fishing for three more hours, catching only one bass, "which we threw back," explained Frost. By the time they got to shore, a family with two little girls saw the kittens and instantly fell in love with them. They subsequently adopted the little felines and named them "Warrior" and "River." At last report, these kittens had been fixed, received their shots, and were enjoying a warm and loving home life.
