This is the heartwarming moment a brave motorcyclist rescued a kitten who used up all its nine lives on the middle of a highway.
Footage shows the man putting his own life on the line by walking into peak-hour traffic to bundle up the cat on the Lion Rock Tunnel Road in Hong Kong.
The man, named Kwok Kin Wai, shot to social media stardom after going above and beyond the call of duty by then finding the kitten a new home.
Mr Kwok, a firefighter, said in a Facebook post he felt obliged to rescue the death-defying cat after it caught his eye on the packed highway.
'I said to myself that I could get hit by a car and killed if I went back to get it. But as I kept driving, I couldn't bear to be so heartless, so I stopped. If I hadn't, I'm pretty sure it would have been hit by a car.'
He used the traction of the post to seek a home for the ginger cat, and within one hour a new owner was found.
