Unsuspecting person wakes up amid the chaos of winter storm to find their front door gone and a happy cat cozily snoozing in their bed

It's not every day that a fierce winter storm blows your front door open—and it's definitely not every day you wake up to find a fluffy feline snoozing comfortably in your bed (especially when you don't even own a cat). But life has a funny way of working out exactly as it should. The Cat Distribution System knows its chosen ones well, and if a 'not my cat' ever crosses your path, know that this whiskered bundle of cuteness is precisely what you didn't know you needed.

One such unsuspecting human is the original poster (OP) of the delightful thread we're featuring today. Over months of living on their property, OP noticed a couple of stray cats meandering about. It took a while for either cat to muster up the courage to approach—until one fierce winter storm changed everything. That's how Sam the cat found their way inside OP's house and heart. If you ask us, OP is now officially a cat owner. That's the Cat Distribution System at work!

    I woke up to a stray cat in my bed this morning after my front door blew open during a wind storm last night

    So I've posted already about this guy named Sam who's a very lovely stray that comes and visits me for a couple hours every evening and then leaves. Usually he sits outside the side door and waits until I open it. Then he sits on the couch with me or eats his food in the kitchen, takes a little nap and then leaves.

    Sam sounds like an awfully kind feline, we think he and OP will get along splendidly as Sam slowly but surely moves in to OP's house (Sam's house now).

    However last night there was a bad rain storm. I was out grabbing something from my truck and suddenly I heard a cry/meow from down the street. So I called out Sam's name and he came running down the street towards me absolutely soaking wet and looked miserable. He followed me inside the house and let me towel him off and clean his muddy fur. I gave him some food, he took a nap and left after a couple hours. I went to bed about 4 hours later.

    Poor little fellow knew exactly who to approach to help him dry off and get cozy. It seems like OP and Sam have a very special bond even prior to Sam's special house visit.

    I woke up for work at 5am and sat up realizing there was a ball of floof in my bed. I was still half asleep and thoroughly confused for a few seconds. I pet the floof which meowed back so I turned on a light and realized it was Sam in my bed He was just laying there sleeping until I said his name and then he snuggled up next to me and started making biscuits. I was walking around the house trying to figure out how he got in and then discovered my front door was open halfway after being blown ope

    yeetmetothemoon42069 OP. 10h ago • Some of y'all need to read my last post about Sam! As tempting as it'd be, I did not steal him, he didn't get lost the night of the storm. He's been living under my house for a year and just recently gained his trust enough to where he is comfortable enough to come visit inside the house sometimes. I'm saving up money to take him to a vet and I've had a lot of background in caring for strays, I've already checked his eyes, teeth, ears, feet and fur for any bag

    That just about sums up our thoughts.

    Desperate-Pear-860 • 12h ago • Maine Co... Top 1% Commen... You belong to Sam now. Please take him to the vet to get him checked out and checked for an ID chip and if he doesn't have one, please keep Sam and love him.

    OP is now Sam's human, no ifs ands or buts.

    Strict_Weather9063 • 12h ago You need to get Sam checked for a chip and see if he has an owner and isn't simply lost. Also get him his shots and a general check up.

    eveshka0207 12h ago. Egyptian Mau • Not your cat is now your cat. Sam will be paying rent in the form of purrs and cuddles. Time to go to the vet, make sure there isn't a microchip and get him chipped 'cause he's yours! <3

    This guy just showed up at my house one day and decided he was a housecat now. He's terrified of the outdoors and runs from the door any time it's opened, but WE LITERALLY ADOPTED HIM OFF THE STREET AS AN ADULT CAT.

    He's a weird one - my wife and I don't think he got proper cat socialization training from his mother because he behaves very oddly around our other cat. But he loves being picked up like an infant and carried around, so he's pretty cool as far as I'm concerned.
