'I lamented my inability to find a single street kitten': After years of waiting, a lifelong cat lover finally receives a Cat Distribution System delivery in the form of a tiny purrfect kitten

For years, this hooman had envied the mysterious ways of the Cat Distribution System. Her mother had been a true CDS legend, a Grand High Poohbah who seemed to conjure kittens out of thin air. Childhood afternoons were sprinkled with surprise paws and purrs, while she herself watched from the sidelines, waiting for destiny to deliver her own unexpected furball. Yet, despite her best hopes, the years passed with nary a whisker. The CDS seemed to have left her off its mailing list.

Until, at long last, fate decided to pounce. While touring houses, she discovered a tiny voice crying from the bushes: a bedraggled, flea-speckled, five-pound kitten demanding attention. This was Colette, her long-awaited proof that the CDS still works its mysterious magic. Named after her mother's beloved childhood toy, Colette became both a tribute and a victory of the people (and the felines). Soon, she will meet Peter Pizza Petey Pete, the household's twenty-pound feline overlord.

At last, the CDS had delivered. And like all true distributions, it came not when expected, but exactly when it was needed most.
