We all go through tough periods in our lives. Each and every one of us. And something that helps us through it during those moments is having friends, having close ones around us who can help distract us, take care of us, improve our moods. We cherish our friends for those moments when they stand by our side. Well, the same is true for other animals. That's why we love adopted bonded pairs so much - because having a friend can make all the difference.

And that's exactly what happened here. After losing her best friend, this doggo needed some support, she needed someone to be there for her. And just like that, as if it's meowgic, a kitten appears out of nowhere, purrvided via the Cat Distribution System, and helps fill a little bit of that void that was left behind. The kitten needed a home, the doggo needed a friend, and the adorable friendship flourished.

    This story really is a case of the Cat Distribution System doing its thing purrfectly. Not only did this kitten come at the purrfect time for this owner, it also came at the purrfect time for this doggo, and the fact that the two of them became best friends so quickly only proves the system's capabilities.

    We love it. The two of them are so similar that we almost did not notice the kitten at first. And then we did. And even though we did not think that this could get any cuter, we were proven wrong when we saw the updated picture of the two of them.

    Haunting_Attempt_1... OP • 1d ago ⚫ Edited 23h ago She had been really sad. She had lost her best friend Indy several weeks before hand to sudden kidney failure. He had been with her since she was born. Then I suddenly get a call from a good friend, saying that her boyfriend's youngest brother had brought home a kitten that was super small and they weren't prepared to take care of it. (The middle schooler decided to listen to a lady who said she had kittens in her trunk!)

    Turns out the kitten was born on the same day my little dog had passed away in the same neighborhood he was born in. I ended up needing to bottle feed my new kitten Mochi and Leia ended up needing a friend to help her through everything between losing her best friend and having just gotten her ACL repaired. I definitely think Indy sent her to us! 729 Reply

    • TYdays 2d ago I read your story, and you provided love and caring to both of them. Little one needed help surviving and the big sister needed somebody else heap some of that love on. You saved both of them, one from loneliness and the other being allowed to learn what kindness, caring and human beings are capable of. The is a special place in heaven for people like you, and you richly deserve it.....
