The cat distribution system works in mysterious ways, that is something that we know for a fact already. Cat haters get adopted by cats all the time, people who have never wanted cats suddenly fall in love with them after getting adopted by one, people who already have cats get adopted by more. You never know who and when the cat distribution system is going to target, but you do know one thing, and that is that the result of said targeting is going to be absolutely purrfect. 

Because the CDS doesn't get things wrong. The bad stories that you hear about sometimes - of people abandoning their cats and things like that… that's not the CDS, that's something else. The CDS is a force of good, and today's story is just another proof of that. It's also another piece of proof that cats don't only adopt humans. Sometimes… you think that you are the one who has been blessed by the CDS, but in reality, the CDS was actually targeting someone else in your home.

    "I brought home an orphaned bottle baby, and my cat adopted her as her very own. Now she’s grown and they still love each other."

  • Sometimes, things are just meant to be. This was clearly a match made in the cat distribution system. You, the human, were merely the vehicle that put this purrfect little family together. They are going to be best friends until the very, very end.

    csway324 Awe, that's so sweet. I think my cat (who looks like your momma) would make a good adoptive mom. I've always said that she would've been a good little mommy. Even though she's scared of everyone and everything, she is soooo sweet and loving. FYI, she's spayed and will never be a mom. Lol.

    Nekofairy999 OP Same with Iris! She was never going to be bio mom either. So it's amazing that she adopted this baby. It was a little sad but so heartwarming when the baby tried to nurse from her and couldn't

    Nekofairy999 OP She's technically a small cat, just a little chubby! The angle makes her look bigger than her mama but she isn't really

  • We would not be surprised if this is exactly the thought that went through her head. Even the best cat friends do not always get along so quickly. But these kitties knew - they finally found each other, and this is exactly where they are supposed to be.
