25+ Pawdorable Cats Who Arrived Via the 'Cat Distribution System', Making Cat-Parents Question Everything

Cats have a way of nestling into our hearts. Without warning, a stray cat could show up on your doorstep and you would have no choice but to accommodate them. You're their cat-mom now. That's just how the Cat Distribution System works! Cats choose their new owners after having spawned in miraculous places. Rarely do you see cat owners buying breeder kitties or formally choosing to have a kitten– the cats choose us. 

That's why when one Redditor asked around, she noticed a funny pattern of feline lovers who never actually chose to have cats at all. In fact, most everyone she knows somehow acquired a cat in some backwards nonsensical way, leading her to question everything. Does anyone ever adopt cats? Or does the Cat Distribution System completely, autonomously choose prospective cat owners? Like the betrothed lovers of yore and the king's bloodline, cat owners and cat lovers really don't have a say in how they get a kitten… When they're ready, the cat will just show up and they have no say. So for those of us who are always waiting for the purrfect moment to get a kitty, keep in mind that the choice may not be completely up to you. One day, your neighbor will have a litter of kittens and one of them will seize hold of your heart. 

In that moment, you'll know you that your fate isn't up to you anymore– that kitten is your child now.
