‘Purring nonstop. And currently sleeping by my pregnant belly.’: The heartfelt story of an unexpected kitten who, found severely underweight at a job site, becomes an instant companion and source of joy for an expectant mother

The Cat Distribution System is truly a curious thing. On the one hand, it seems to strongly favor the timid and otherwise shy cattos who would never find their furever home if it were not for the CDS intervening and matching them up with an appropriate hooman. And in other cases it feels as though incredibly extroverted and clever cattos use it like tinder, swiping through a list of potential pawrents, picking out the one they want and heading out to claim them.

And today's story features the latter kind of catto who rocked up to a job site and was so adamant that it was coming home with its new pawrent that it began climbing up their trousers to make sure that they got a lift home at the end of the day. An impressive and unexpected feat of dominance from a kitten who barely knows anything about the world it lives in.
