Hey, fellow feline fanatic fans. Were you also that "Cat Kid" who always wanted a cat and, for any reason, couldn't have one? Some kids beg their parents for a dog, some are certified horse girls who dream of riding one towards the sunset, but some of us? We just wanted a fluffy feline friend to care for, to have by our side.

This kid from the story below is no different than us, the cat lovers who wanted a fellow floof who meows softly to our faces and purrs loudly. She begged her mom for a cat for quite some time, but life circumstances didn't allow them to have a cat right away. But we all know the Cat Distribution System works in meowsterious ways. When the CDS decides you're a cat-pawrent-to-be, one must comply.

So it's just so happened that when the lovely mom took her daughter to school, the CDS worked its magic. They heard a small, meowing cry from a ditch nearby. And there - was the little lady floof the daughter was wishing for in the dreams. The Cat Distribution System has decreed, "You are now to be a cat pawrent, and your daughter will become her best friend".

And so it happened. We adore a happy ending when it comes to cat adoptions. Saving an abandoned kitten is the deed done by the best people possible. And this mom and her daughter? We salute them. And the little kitten, named adorably "Coco Muffin" by the kid? We already know she's going to be the queen of the house, living the dream, while the kid also lives her dream - together with a cat for many years.

Look at this little beauty queen, already feeling so comfortable, totally zonked out on her fluffy blanket fort. You can see this kitten arrived in a very loving home. Such a beautiful ending to this story, and a beginning of a heartwarming story of living with a cat.
