‘She just left suddenly, with no goodbye, and took the cat’: Grandma asks 23-year-old grandson to co-parent the kitten he saved, only to run away with the cat when her health declines

We know that when the Cat Distribution System sends someone a cat, it's usually for the right reason. Nobody actually knows how the CDS works, but we all guess it's a match-making service combined with a delivery system that heals hooman hearts, and saves cats in need. When a kind human soul finds their comfort in saving a cat that found their way to their arms, hearts, and homes - we know the CDS has done a great job. This is why we endlessly love these cat adoption stories - they bring joy to every cat lover who reads them.

But sometimes human meddling can ruin a good match made by the mysterious Cat Distribution System. And humans… well, as hearty as they sometimes are, they just can't seem to realize the genius of the CDS that's at work. And that's disheartening, to say the least. We felt the pain in the words of a 23-year-old young man, who adopted a sickly kitten, took care of her, nurtured her back to health, and even agreed that his grandmother co-parents her, because she asked - only to have her move away suddenly when her health deteriorated, and take the cat with her.

Look, we're sensitive to the matter of elderly people who receive so much joy from an adopted animal. But we're also sensitive to hearing the pain of a cat pawrent whose cat was simply… taken away from them, without notice. It's hurtful! We could never imagine our cats, our babies, being taken away one day, and we simply just discovered it. It's a pain we could never bear.

We sincerely hope this cat will get to wherever she'll be best.
