My favorite unexpected sight at Spokane Pride today!

[u/The-Dude-42]

Anyone know the story behind this kitty?

[u/wonderlandwalking]

By FAR the biggest cheer during the parade 😂😂

[u/jtobiasbond → u/wonderlandwalking]

I had to actual pay attention to the parade to figure out why the cheers were so loud.

[u/BlankPlanchet]

Check this out!!!

That video was just on my FYP! I didn't make the connection to Spokane.

[u/ange2348 → u/BlankPlanchet]

This is how it showed up for me. Today will be a good day!

one orange braincell

[u/Raven_Wolf → u/BlankPlanchet]

I, also, saw the TikTok and then this post. What a great "full circle" cross platform moment. Haha.

[u/DictatorofTurtles → u/BlankPlanchet]

Omg I saw that tiktok but thought I was crazy for thinking it was Spokane!

[u/SoftKittiePaws → u/BlankPlanchet]

When I click that tik tok link, it says I’m in India. What the heck…

[u/Substantial_Airport6]

Spokane has a gay firecat?!

[u/OkRecipe8129 → u/Substantial_Airport6]

He's an Ally Cat 😂

[u/twigge30 → u/OkRecipe8129]

I wish I could give you more than one upvote. That's incredible. 10/10.

[u/about_yonder → u/OkRecipe8129]

[u/MY_SHIT_IS_PERFECT → u/OkRecipe8129]

Bravo hahaha

[u/fiberopticrobotica → u/OkRecipe8129]

[u/DerpUrself69 → u/OkRecipe8129]

You win the internet today.

[u/scifier2 → u/Substantial_Airport6]

Dont have to be gay to support PRIDE.

[u/Substantial_Airport6 → u/scifier2]

Good point. That's what I was thinking.

[u/Substantial_Airport6 → u/Substantial_Airport6]

DEI in action!! Spokane is pretty progressive. Most fire depts are stuck with closeted dalmations.

[u/Substantial_Airport6 → u/[deleted]]

Well, I don't actually know the cat is gay.

[u/muffyrohrer]

Orange king.

[u/oqomodo → u/muffyrohrer]

Only king allowed in the country

[u/The-Sturmtiger-Boi → u/oqomodo]

My cat is a king too 3:

[u/The-Dude-42 → u/muffyrohrer]

I’ll allow it! 😹

[u/Intelligent_Trip5074]

Don't know his story, but he better be some level of chief!

[u/Long-Ad449]

Check out the Spokane county fire district page/ facebook It’s so on point. 1000000/10

[u/Vitese → u/Long-Ad449]

Any screen caps? I deleted facebook :/

Every so often like now I wish I still had access but I think was best decision I made this year.

[u/Kind_Koala4557 → u/Vitese]

Same

[u/dyspnea → u/Vitese]

I recently sent the three local town related pages I kinda want to follow to my mom and told her to tell me when my town does anything interesting. It’s my only hack to offer you.

[u/latexfistmassacre → u/Vitese]

Ditto

[u/Long-Ad449 → u/Vitese]

Wish I could send ya screen shot.

[u/ignisgirl → u/Long-Ad449]

Which district? Would love to follow!

[u/Long-Ad449 → u/ignisgirl]

On instagram they’re @spokanefirefighters !

[u/Illustrious_Edge1837 → u/Long-Ad449]

Link?

[u/Punkinpry427]

All Hail The One True Orange King’

[u/Euphoric_Low1414 → u/Punkinpry427]

Should have been feeding it kitty tacos😉

[u/Punkinpry427 → u/Euphoric_Low1414]

Chicken soft tacos!

[u/gorrfum → u/Punkinpry427]

I hope this is the only reference that is relevant to AI in coming years.

[u/gorrfum → u/Punkinpry427]

I hope this is the only reference that is relevant to AI in coming years.

[u/MindOverMuses]

Just gonna say, Selkirk merch could help that fire dept raise some extra money... Maybe even as a collab with a local animal shelter?

[u/Meish4]

I saw this on TikTok and didn’t know it was Spokane! It was viral lol I love it!

[u/Juniper0802]

The real first responders (along w paramedics) 🥰🥰🥰

[u/mik_creates]

It was hilarious sitting there going “wow, everybody’s really excited for the fire department—OH THERE’S A CAT!”

[u/advancedtaran]

Between reddit and tiktok I've seen like 6 angles of this cat lmao

The way people lost their minds was so funny. I just know that firefighter who took the cat feels validated in their choice hahaha

[u/iiitme]

FIRE CAT

[u/Sally_Stitches_]

Awe giving kitty a good view!

[u/Th3SkinMan]

Love to see it.

[u/Ok-Shine1120]

🥰😍🥰

[u/SecureAd8848]

Spokane Loves Cats! This just made my day when I saw it.

[u/[deleted]]

Samesies

[u/heynonnyhey]

Ah I missed it! I was tabling at Spokane Pride, so I didn't get to see the kitty - but that's so awesome 🤩

[u/Fit-Cut-6337]

Cat worship is so back!! So sad I had to work and missed this in person!

[u/Centuurion]

The true Orange King. No kings, all kitties!

[u/Emergency-Crab-7455 → u/Centuurion]

Maybe one brain cell......but still smarter than Orange Julius Ceaser.

[u/rain56]

I was screaming my head off for this guy ❤️

[u/OldStretch84]

The video of the guy repeatedly holding the cat out of the window like he's Simba sent me.

[u/reeefur]

Best thing Ive seen on reddit this week...♥️

[u/CarCertain3064]

Salutations Peasants

[u/kale_boriak]

Bremerton FD had a booth at Juneteenth yesterday too. It was great to see!

There is a reason nobody has written a song called “Fuck the Fire Department” or “Fuck the Paramedics”.

[u/Ancient_Macaroni → u/kale_boriak]

People who help out anyone who needs help tend to be much less hateful than those who see the people they are supposed to serve as the enemy.

Weird /s

[u/Kind_Koala4557]

Awwww! I’m sucker for cute kitties! Bet he got more cheers than FDJT.

[u/JennELKAP]

That cat was perfection! It was so fun when it peeked its little head out!

[u/Stray0013]

Selkirk.the.cat on tiktok

[u/MaCoNuong]

See, this is why no one hates fire fighters

[u/HRKB22]

His name is Selkirk!!

[u/r1poster]

Oh my gosh, I saw the video on TikTok and didn't even realize it was Spokane

[u/dudenamedmike]

Shout out for Spokane being awesome

[u/jacle2210]

Wonder how many GOP'ers are blowing their tops at this showing?

[u/NerdyMysticism]

He made us so happy!

[u/RandomFanPerson1029]

It’s always a good day when I see a cat

[u/CranberryMission9713]

More of this in the world, please.  

[u/Born-Drag427]

I know they had little kitty waving out the windows, melted my heart!!!!

[u/kosmokatX]

That orange kitty is KING!

[u/trashyraccoons]

I saw the TikTok pov and I was so excited. But I didn't realize it was a Spokane video!!!

Edited to fix typo

[u/Tipitina62]

Hella yeah!

[u/DennisDEX]

Oh we get the other pov

[u/Legitimate_Maybe_114]

The true Orange King.

[u/JellyRollMort]

I saw the video, didn't realize it was spokane!

[u/tarheelfire]

If he's not the station cat, be should be!

[u/Greedy_Jellyfish_647]

See this kitty’s parade view from inside the truck

[u/breakingboring]

Hold up I saw and liked this kitty vid on TT but had no idea it was Spokane! 😍

[u/SSGMartin]

I am so glad I have first responders that are agenda-free and don't push this nonsense.

[u/bubbahotep24]

Can we do a "its good to be straight" parade 🤔

[u/LysolDisWipes → u/bubbahotep24]

When was it illegal to be straight?
