Terrified, confused and has no idea who the human is, but will definitely take that cuddle thankyouverymuch.
They have selected their next human
Context of this ?
Looks like a cat rescued from a house fire. Giving the car oxygen due to smoke inhalation.

Don't you just love it when they shine those puppy-eyed headlights at you afterwards?
The last picture, that cat has the same look on their adorable face that mine gets when he's trying to explain to me that he was so scared and I'm not taking his trauma seriously, such as when he was briefly contained in his cat carrier or when he couldn't find me in the house that one time after he took a nap.
Obviously, this cat has actually been through something, but the fact that the expression is exactly the same melts my heart.
"Listen to that engine purr!"
I thought I recalled this happening locally so I did some searching. Apparently this happens often with all types of animals. The oxygen mask used here is designed for animals.
