Influencer Adopted a Kitten from the Dumpster. It Left Him a Gift on His Couch: ‘Name Him Trash Can.’

Influencer Adopted a Kitten from the Dumpster. It Left Him a Gift on His Couch 'Name Him Trash Can.'

Not all stray animals are fortunate to have a home. So, when Mo (@moworldofficial) heard meowing from the dumpster, he couldn’t resist and followed the noise. What he found was a small, stray kitten.

The dumpster was locked when Mo heard meowing. But he didn’t leave—he climbed over the gate and found the baby cat. Only its head could be seen, as its body was smushed between two trash bags.

“I told myself I couldn’t get a second cat, bro. It’s too much responsibility,” Mo said. The streamer didn’t expect to fish a cat out of a dump at that time of night. He had to scale a wall, and Mo could have gotten injured from jumping down. But he was determined to help the cat, so he went away and got some gloves and cat food.

He came back for it. In the end, Mo was able to grab hold of the kitten and get out of the dump. It wasn’t without struggle, though. The kitten was rather feisty, and it panicked when Mo grabbed it. It scratched, bit, and fought for dear life. At one point, it could be heard heaving through the mic.

The kitten was terrified and shivering, but Mo didn’t give up. Unexpectedly, he started reciting a prayer in Arabic to the kitten—anything to help it calm down. Miraculously, the kitten stopped being too antsy. Mo’s wife finally got the crate, and they were able to take him home.

Although he said he didn’t want another cat, it seems that the cat distribution system has obliged him to take yet another companion. But it didn’t end there—when he brought it home, the kitten was chaotic as ever. He even left a “surprise” on the couch for Mo to discover.

Can’t take the streets out of this kitten

The kitten was still too young for cat food, so Mo bought milk for him. But right from the start, the kitten was a fighter—being in a cozy home wouldn’t keep it calm for long. He started feeding the kitten, but it chewed the bottle tip and ate it. Then, the kitten started boxing the bottle out of Mo’s hand.

“You can’t drink it if you’re fighting it!” Mo told the kitten, who was wrestling the bottle out of his hand. Mo’s wife tried to grab the kitten, who was aggressively drinking from the bottle. It wound up biting her, too.

Mo had a bunch of scratches on his hand. But that’s not the worst part of it all. He looked over at his couch and was stunned.

“Did you just poop on my couch?” Mo lamented, panning the camera to the kitten who was happily squatting and pooping on the couch. It was once a pristine, white couch. Needless to say, the rescue cat still isn’t potty trained.

Mo jokingly begged his followers to take the kitten from him. While none have taken the offer, many commenters on TikTok suggested extremely fitting names for the rambunctious creature.

One TikTok user wrote, “Name him Trash Can.”

Another said, “Name it Giggleshitter.”

Someone else suggested, “Call him Raccoon.”

Although it has an attitude, it seems that it has found its forever home with Mo, as the influencer plans to make a part three update for his adoptee. Hopefully by then, he’d have a fitting name for his screamish friend.
