There are some people out there who don't believe us when we tell them about the Cat Distribution System. They can't quite seem to understand how it is that cats choose their humans instead of the other way around. The idea of walking into a cat shelter to pick a cat and then being told that they didn't choose the cat, they were chosen by it, purrplexes them. But it's true. And it gets proven on the internet day in and day out. People who never wanted cats suddenly encountering a cat in need and adopting them. 

And that's exactly what happened this time. Yet another piece of proof added to the list of the Cat Distribution System not only existing but working purrfectly. Yet another person who didn't want a cat, didn't ask for a cat, tried to find the cat a different home or place to go, and ended up keeping it. Because they were chosen by the cat, and there was nothing they could do about it.

    "I will have a cat for a little while." Sigh. It's so cute that they thought that. Famous last words. Of course they were going to keep the kitten, and all of us who encountered this thread in its early stages knew that would be the case much, much sooner than it actually happened.

    This is the face of a kitten that is ready to be chosen. Whatever her story might have been before this meowment, she knew that it was time to get off the streets and find herself a loving home where she will be spoiled her whole life. Which is exactly what she did.

    toe lover (post office buddy) @carobunga ... I think it was dumped on a grassy median, he was near the woods but there's no way he crossed the road. No ticks or fleas. It does look like his eyes hurt but I'll check to see if he's microchipped tomorrow, then we'll go from there. Thank u all for reading ily 7:21 AM Oct 5, 2024 149.6K Views 5 1712 3.7K ☐ 11 ↑

    toe lover (post office buddy) @carobunga The SPCA was weird about taking him over the phone yesterday but they asked if we wanted to surrender him when we went in person today. I can't imagine abandoning him when someone else probably did. So I think we're keeping him. Got some info so he's getting vaccinated tomorrow! 10:17 PM - Oct 5, 2024 · 149.3K Views 125 17138 12K ☐ 87 +]

    toe lover (post office buddy) @carobunga ... I've been waiting for a better job to reach back out to me. I think the recruiter glazed me and ghosted. My mom used to speak about how disposable pets were and I never wanted a pet that I couldn't afford emergency care for, he will be taken care of. Just gotta adjust my budget 10:48 PM Oct 5, 2024 92.5K Views 13 1717 2.5K ☐ 14

    toe lover (post office buddy) @carobunga The man at the spca was wonderful and gave us a kitten list and we added it to an Amazon wishlist. My apartment building said they won't hold packages so this is under my boyfriend's name shipping to his building. Kitten will be getting the things :3 amazon.com Check out my list on Amazon 12:22 AM Oct 6, 2024 90.8K Views 10 1773 1.8K ☐ 61 ↑
