Young cat follows a man home, settles comfortably in his living room and effectively adopts himself: 'He’s sleeping on my couch as I post this'

The Cat Distribution System works in mysterious ways, and yet it always seems to get it purrfectly right. Somehow, it knows exactly when a hooman is ready for a feline companion - and which lucky kitty is destined to join their home. Sometimes it happens through adoption events, sometimes at the shelter, and sometimes… a cat just decides for you by showing up at your doorstep and declaring: "I live here now".

When a cat follows us, it's almost impossible to resist. Especially if you're already a feline fanatic, those tiny paws padding behind you feel like destiny itself. And honestly, what choice do we even have when a sweet little face looks up at us with trust and hope? For this young cat, following his future human home turned out to be the best decision he could have ever made. He didn't just find a couch to nap on - he found safety, warmth, and love. And from the way he's already settled in, it looks like he knows he's exactly where he belongs.
