Walking home one day, from somewhere up above, she could hear a kitten meowing for help.

Ariana Arroyo from Brooklyn, New York, could hear a kitten crying for help while walking home with her Mom earlier this month. Wondering where the meows for help were coming from, she looked up and saw a cat on an awning overhead.

The kitten had been running across the roofs overhead that connected the buildings. Arianna managed to get in touch with her brother, who immediately opened a window and called out to the kitten.

Out of reach, she paced back and forth from awning to awning, eventually disappearing from sight.

“The following morning, my brother told me that he heard the kitten again,” Ariana said. “We decided the best option would be for me to climb out of the window and onto the awning to save her.”

Gingerly climbing out of the window as her brother remained at the ready with a cat carrier, they both called out to the tiny kitten, managing to lure her ever closer with a bowl of food.

Read these characteristics which almost all cat lovers have in common:

INTROVERTED AND SENSITIVE
It’s the nature of cats that they are not friends with everybody, and the same trait can be seen in their owners too. Usually, they live alone and are happy with their independent lifestyle. They are introverts but are comfortable hanging around with other people. However, they would need some me-time to relax and recharge.

CAT LOVERS LEAN TO LEFT
It has been observed that people with liberal political leanings prefer cats over dogs. You might be a liberal dog lover or a conservative cat owner; if you’re a liberal, you love cats and vice versa.

CAT OWNERS ARE OPEN-MINDED
Five traits – conscientiousness, neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, and openness are often seen in most cat lovers. As compared to dog owners, people who have cats as pets are more open and therefore, have greater artistic creativity.

ATTENTION SEEKERS
Just like their pets, cat lovers seek attention from people around them. They like to be the centre of all conversations. At times, cat owners rely on their pets for emotional support.

THEY RESPECT CATS MORE THAN ANYONE
Cat people respect cats more than humans, in general. The saddest sight for a cat lover is to see the animal on the streets without a home. Cat lovers are often seen making a special effort to rescue or rehabilitate homeless cats.
