And I'm like, mom.

We live in this privileged situation.

We've got sulfur-crested cockatoos, rosellas, king parrots, all these beautiful birds.

And the worst thing that we could do for them is put a cat into that.

So you can't have a cat, you know?

I'm riding through the bush, 25, 30 Ks in at this point, right?

I'm getting to the top of this hill.

I'm looking down.

I'm seeing these boys struggling quite some distance, probably about a kilometer and a half away from me.

And I'm going, good, I'll just have a little rest here.

And I just hear this little noise and I'm like, what the hell is that?

So I just take three or four steps off the road.

Probably about seven or eight minutes ago,

I was coming around this corn and a car was there on the road, which is kind of unusual for the state forest in that particular area, right?

So I take these three or four steps in and there's a little kitten sitting in the bush.

So I pick it up.

It's warm.

I can't leave it here, so I put it in my backpack, right?

And I complete the ride to get to the top of this hill where this trig station is and everybody's standing around.

And I go, oh, I found a cat.
