The Cat distribution system has done it again!
via u/hg556"My story- I knew my cat was my soulmate when I had a long sh**ty day at work and I come home to him waiting for me on the couch. I had burst out crying and there he was coming to sit on my lap, to comfort me. Just seeing him wait for me to come home gave me huge sense of love for the little guy and it truly makes me so appreciative of having him in my life."

Cat love = strange love
via u/MPD1987"When I first got her, she curled up on top of my head, literally held on to my face, and purred herself to sleep while smiling. She still sleeps like this every night. That's when I knew it was true love"

When you meet your feline doppelgänger
via u/shawnikaros"I went to the shelter, saw this cat with the same name as me with a description which went roughly like "Depressed, distrusts people, doesn't like children", so basically me in cat form. You don't pass a coincidinc like that. Now he's the most polite and cuddly little furball, little vary of new people sometimes still, but otherwise really social."

Cats love to lure you in and then surprise you with a 2 for 1 at the shelter
via u/tuflbeere"Went to the shelter and went into one room and she just jumped on my shoulder and stood there on my shoulders screaming at the care taker who was with us like 'my human!' Found out she came with another cat who was just chilling in a basket on a shelve and blinked at me and went back to sleep."

Yup, another example of the feline 2 for 1 system tricking another hopeless hooman
via u/Claptrap-94"When I came to see the cat I wanted to adopt, she was scratching at the door, I asked to give her a pet, the woman opened the door and she wanted to play, she even showed me her toys (the toy were to right) I knew I wanted her.
I got told I couldn't just adopt her without also adopting her sister, so I do it, her sister was hiding underneath the upside-down cat bed."

"When I brought her home and opened her crate, she of course took off under my bed. I shook a bag of treats and she hesitantly came out from under. I held a hand full of treats slowly out to her. She pushed them out of my hand, she didn't want treats…she wanted pats. She started purring so loud as soon as I started petting her. This was after being in a transport for over 24 hours with other cats and dogs (she hates other animals), so she must have been so stressed."

"She came right up to me at the animal shelter, and was purring while I was trying to pet her through the cage. When the shelter people got her out, she settled right down on my lap, still purring. They told us that this never happens, so we do the most reasonable thing: adopt her. She sat on my lap the entire car ride home, and she's loved me ever since"

"When I got there they handed this little ball of fear to me and I could do nothing but put him in the carrier and bring him home.
Once home I let him out the crate and it took him less than a minute to look at me, climb in my arms and pass out and everyday since he's been the sweetest angel wanting nothing more than to make sure I'm safe."

"But i got Aurora when i had just called off my wedding to my ex, moved back home to NY and was several d*pressed at the age of 19. One day i was silently crying in the bathroom with the door closed. She kept meowing for me to open the door. I finally did and she jumped on the bathroom counter and kept pawing at me. I just closed the door and sat back on the floor crying. She jumped down, shoved her little self between the space of my knees and chest and kept licking my tears off my face. She would meow, softly paw my face and just keep licking. It made me stop crying lol. I held her like a baby for about an hour while she purred.
15 years later and she is still like this whenever im upset. She brought me out of my d**ression, she has gotten me through so much. I love this little girl."

"I love that this came up because my memories has pictures of his litter in it today (he's got one black eye there on the right). He was the biggest and most tenacious out of all of them. Tried to get out of his box before he could even see lol. He listens to me and comes when called, and he's my sewing/work buddy. I've never had a connection like I do with him to any other pet."

"This boy here. 17 years old in this picture, he passed just before his 18th. I was nearly 14, Mum and I had gone shopping, there was a pet shop across the road from the shopping centre. We went over to look at the 2 kittens out front. As I leaned down, I got a bit too close to the cage, and this tiny hand, with needle sharp claws shot out and grabbed me. We went in, took him home, he tried to kill me by ripping my throat out, and he became my best mate. He'd sleep under the blankets between my feet when he was cold, he could open the fridge. I miss him every day, which is why he's my phone background."

"I went to several shelters looking for a cat, at the last shelter I went to for the day, there was what they called the 'Webcam Room' where you could watch the kitties play on their website. There was a small black cat in that room who was calm as could be. I picked her up after giving her some loves and she just let me tote her around. I went to the other rooms with her to see if I may find a companion to take home with her. Every other cat, reacted unhappily to her being there. She however was calm the entire time. I ended up leaving with just her. She was chill enough to be harness trained, I'd sit on the front porch while she relaxed in the grass and even let me tote her around in a backpack sometimes. She's moved states with me since and I've had 2 kids. She's so patient with them, she's very intuitive and seeks out to help when emotional distress is high. She goes practically everywhere with me.
I do have a second one, he showed up on our doorstep about 4 months after our male grey tiger striped boy got out about a year ago. Since he got out I'd been assisting community cats while hoping to find him. I never did see him but I helped a lot of cats. Including a sweet stray that we figured out was pregnant like weeks before she popped em out. I was able to provide her a safe place to have and raise her kittens. I would have TNR'd her but we were moving across town and I couldn't relocate her like that. It was February and we had just had a big snow storm, I'm talking like 2-3ft on the ground. My husband complains from time to time that I have some kind of cat super power because cats gravitate towards me, I just attract them almost everywhere I go if there are cats there. We'd been joking about it and he had just said ""I can't deny if a cat showed up in this weather seeking shelter I wouldn't turn them away."" I had a habit of checking our backdoor ever since incase our ole boy made it home. I looked out the patio door and I'll be damned if there wasn't a black cat sitting at the back door looking at us, surrounded by snow. I just looked at my husband and he goes ""If you're gonna get him, just do it."" I opened the door and wrapped him in a towel to dry him off. We acclimated him and he never seemed interested in leaving. When we moved we brought him with us and he became a whole new cat when we moved. He follows me everywhere."

"about a week after he was given to me. I never had a pet before and was full of anxiety because I was now responsible for the health and welfare of a friend's prize pets after she moved out of the country."

"She adores only me. That is. No-one ever so interested in me like my cat before."

"I had no intentions of adopting my first kitty. I went to the pet store for dog food and just stopped by the cat cages out of curiosity and because I like petting them. I was petting Artemis and he was being all cute, purring and rubbing on the cage bars. I bent over to talk to him and the clever little b***ard reached his paw through the cage bars and just ever so gently pushed it on my cheek and it was GAME OVER. I took him home that day. He's been the sweetest, most affectionate, relaxed cat I've ever met and I am madly in love with him."

"I was getting gas and this little dirty kitten came up to me crying.. I had just put my dog down that I had for 20 years. I think we were destined for each other. He crawled in my car and went to sleep. I knew we were going to be together at that moment."
