Happy Wednesday, friends and felines. We have something to celebrate today - another cat purrson was born today! Yes, another unsuspecting soul has joined our ranks as a faithful servant to our feline overlords, and couldn't be happier about it. You would be surprised how easy it is to convert normal people into becoming "cat people". The CDS (Cat Distribution System) has a knack for knowing who just needs a little push in the right direction and always has cute kitties to send to those in need.

After investigating some purring in his car, this soon-to-be first-time cat dad found that it wasn't his engine, but an adorably fancy feline who got trapped under the hood. He insisted he wasn't a cat purrson, and even tried to give the cute kitten away. However, like most people, the cat won him over and, we quote, he is "so glad he never did" give him away. Dog people: 0. Cat people: 1,000,000,000,000,000,001. Read the full story and the silly commentary below!

    Toonces348 . • 17h ago You still don't own a cat. But, judging from the awesome cat tree and other accoutrements, a very nice looking tuxedo cat owns you.

  • Now, you know we like to keep it family-friendly here at I Can Has Cheezburger, but when we see a derriere like this one, we can't not post it. It's too silly for you not to see. What a goober!

  • This cat dad says that he's lucky he kept the kitten, but the commenter above is right - he should be counting his lucky stars that the cat decided to keep him! There are plenty of hoomans in the world who would gladly care for this very dapper cat.

    Look at the efforts he went to in order to get your attention! Squirming into the engine bay required effort & ingenuity, so glad it worked for him. He obviously chose well
