The Cat Distribution System always delivers just when the time is right. Sometimes, you might not even be aware that the CDS is working to pair you with a cat or kitten until it's right in front of your face. It doesn't matter whether it's your first cat, or your 10th cat, when the CDS giveth, you taketh. The CDS doesn't just give to anyone - you have to earn your place in the long line of people waiting to receive cats by this meowsterious feline force. You might be a nurse who finds a kitten in her carport or maybe you're meant to take home a souvenir in feline form from your trip to Mexico. Or you might be driving by, see a smol creature hiding behind a croc (the shoe, not the reptile), and discover it by chance.

The couple that rescued the cute kitten, aptly named 'Bug' for their adorable buggy eyes and smol stature, had been debating about getting a third cat for a while. Well, it turns out the CDS presented them with the third they had been wishing for. And that, dear friends, is the power of meownifestation. Wish for a cat, and it will probably appear. Especially if you leave an empty cardboard box out.

    Our time has come! On Friday, my boyfriend found a kitten hiding behind a Croc (the shoe not the reptile) under a busy overpass on his bike ride home. We've been talking about getting a 3rd cat for a while but never made the move and I think this is why.

  • Well. If that isn't the cutest, snuggliest little purrito we've ever seen! We can't tell if it's content or upset, but either way, it's activating our cuteness-aggression. Nobody come close to us, we have an urge to bite something from all the overwhelming cuteness.

    Baby kitty looks about 5 weeks old, everything is too small to determine the s but we named them Bug. I've never had a cat this tiny... still in pointy tail phase. I am beyond obsessed with Bug.

  • We love when kittens have those big, round, soup bellies. It's beyond awwdorable. They just waddle everywhere with those floppy bellies, and we cannot resist petting them. It's probably the only time in a cat's life when you can actually rub their bellies without consequence.
