Viral Video: Literal Catfishing

AL.com reports:

Two guys go fishing and catch a pair of kittens. It’d be hard to believe if it weren’t on video. Jason Frost, who lives in Hueytown, and his friend Brandon Key were out on the Warrior River near Bluff Creek Saturday morning when they heard a splash and saw something swimming across the water toward them. They weren’t sure exactly what it was until they heard the meows. The kitten, an orange tabby that looked to be about a few months old, swims right up to their boat and Frost picks it up by the nape of the neck and sets it aboard. The kitten shakes off and starts meowing. “Never in my life have I seen anything like that,” Frost says in the video. They see another kitten jump into the river and start swimming toward them, so they move the boat closer using the trolling motor and Frost quickly snatches it up into the boat. The two kittens are identical. “Well there’s a first time for everything, isn’t there?” Frost says.

The kittens were given to a family with two little girls, each of whom wanted one.
