'Best screw-up ever': Person Accidentally Adopts the Wrong Cat, and It Ends up Being the Best Mistake They’ve Ever Made

We don't know how many times we have said it, but we will keep saying it until it sinks in for everyone - it's the cats that choose the humans, not the other way around. You only think that you are the one making the choice when you walk into an adoption center, looking around and trying to decide which cat is the one that would fit into your home the best. But in reality, behind your back, the Cat Distribution System is working its meowgic, and while you are browsing cats, the cats are browsing you back.

There is no such a thing as adopting the "wrong" cat. Because if the cat chose you, then that was no mistake. And that's what this person learned the hard way in this thread. There was no "wrong" cat in this story. Everything happened the way that it was meant to, and everyone ended up happy.

This… could have gone in so many different directions, and for a while there, we were worried that it might. Adopting the wrong cat could mean so many things, but we were mostly worried about you not loving the cat and returning it.

We should have known better though. We should have remembered that it's not you who chooses the cat, it's the cat who chooses you, and if this kitty decided to go home with you, then this is the kitty that you were supposed to adopt in the first place, whether intentionally or not.
