'Now we have SIX cats': Kind hooman adopts a stranded kitten and shares the cute news, prompting people to tell how the Cat Distribution System chose them too

Here at the I Can Has Cheezburger office we take the Cat Distribution System™ very seriously. After all, how else can you explain the meowgical moment a random cat shows up at your doorstep, stares into your soul, and decides you're now their hooman?

When one kind hooman shared how they found a lone kitten outside their home and simply said to themselves "Well… now we have six cats", it struck a chord. Because let's be honest, cats don't ask - they just arrive. And you don't adopt them - cats adopt you.

We went around our cat-pilled office and asked: "How did the Cat Distribution System choose you?" Here's what we heard from our fellow cat pawrent:

  1. "She walked in through the window, curled up on my laundry, and never left."
  2. "I found him sleeping on my car's hood. He screamed at me until I opened the door. Now he screams for snacks."
  3. "I said I didn't want a cat. Then she jumped into my lap at the shelter and started purring. I was wrong."
  4. "My dog brought him home. Like literally carried him into the house. They've been inseparable ever since."
  5. "I fed one stray. Now the neighborhood cat council meets on my porch daily."

The Cat Distribution System works in mysterious (and hilarious) ways, and we're so glad it does. Do you love to hear about wholesome cat adoptions? Because you've arrived in the right place.
