In recent days, the tender compassion children sometimes exhibit was well put in evidence as a heart-melting video flooded social media. It was about a desperate little girl trying her best to save a freezing cat and got huge praise for this action from various viewers, many of whom think this reflects a great future.
This is the moment in the video as the girl weeps tearfully as she tries to warm up the cat by blowing dry hair on it. With tears streaming down her face, she keeps trying until the animal starts warming up.
Did it Work?
Fortunately, yes. The lovely video footage captures the cat as she gradually regained strength until she could sip milk wearing a snug sweater. The little girl’s determination paid off to save the feline from this terrible situation.
The incident happened in China. Her 39-year-old father initially posted the video on Douyin, the country’s social media platform. This video, captioned “After two hours of persistence and effort, the kitten finally came back to life,” made its way into the people’s attention.
The video features sketches created by the Chinese social media users representing the girl’s selfless act of kindness. Very soon, the touching story spread to other platforms: Instagram. An account named Mothership shared the video. Captioned with, “You didn’t ask to cry today, but admin delivered.”

Social Media Reactions
The girl’s gesture went viral and was showered with love and praise on social media. One of the Instagram users commented, “So sweet and kind of her. I’m glad the kitty is fine now.” Another added, “This made me emotional. She’s an angel.” A third user wrote, “Aww, she is a gem,” while a fourth shared, “Bless her. I hope she can grow up and help more animals in the future.
Such acts of kindness are nothing new. Last year, two boys were hailed heroes on social media after a video showed them rescuing a dog trapped on a narrow ledge. The boys fearlessly waded through drain water to save the frightened animal, much like a similar spirit of compassion and courage.
