Gorgeous ginger cat Sox survives the impawssible after vet's prescribing error, owners consider legal action
This is your reminder to always read the instructions on the prescription labels, feline fam. We know it can be a little overwhelming with all of that medical mumbo-jumbo on there, but you never know how disastrous one little mistake can be when it comes to medications. Unfortunately, we learned this lesson from purrsonal experience. After one of our cats got spayed, they needed some pain medication, but they needed to take it with food. She wasn't hungry, and we could tell she was in pain, so we gave it to her anyway, thinking it would be harmless. Needless to say, we rushed to the vet hours later only to be told our cat was zooted on pain meds. The vet said everything was fine, but we did pay a couple hundred bucks to just to be told our cat was flying high in the sky.

Hearty human helps an abandoned cat trust him enough to adopt her into a loving furever home
The Cat Distribution System works in mysterious ways, and we can never get enough of watching it play out. It's almost uncanny how purrfectly it matches each feline soul to the right human - like a cosmic matchmaking service that knows when to send a needy kitty to a gentle heart, or when to test the patience of someone with just the right amount of persistence for a "spicy" new feline friend. We may joke about it online, but anyone who's lived it knows how real that invisible paw of destiny feels.

Purrson finds two tiny kittens in distress, successfully saves one from near peril, and shows off her glorious glow up fur all to enjoy
Kitties find us when they need us the most. That's the meowgic of the Cat Distribution System - it always works just when the time is right. Maybe they are brought to you in the middle of a thunderstorm, you found them hiding under your car after a purrticularly tough day at work, or they appeared outside your window in the night, meowing to come inside and join you in your warm bed. Now, just because there are some seriously meowsterious forces working with the CDS, doesn't mean that it's purrfect. Not every kitten brought to you by the CDS can be saved. We just have to do everything we can and hope for the best.

Man shows what happens when you turn your back on cheetahs and leopards, and their reactions are entirely different
It's a running joke with us here at ICHC, that one day, one of us editors is going to end up on the news for… trying to pet something that we probably shouldn't have. There's like- a 50/50 chance of that actually happening. Because we really cannot stop ourselves. We want to pet a lion. More than anything. We want to cuddle with a cheetah. So, so much. We want to hang out with a panther. Because it just seems so… fun. And crazy as that may sound to some of you, we know that a whole bunch of you relate. And it's not entirely our fault, not when videos like this exist.

Kind human adopts 14-year-old cat with no ears who no one wanted after his owner passed, gets blessed with the cuddliest, most affectionate cat in return
As much as we hate it, it is a fact that senior cats get adopted far less often than kittens. Unfair, we know. Senior cats make great pets - some of the best pets. Senior cats are affectionate, and tend to get even more affectionate with age. Senior cats, who get adopted as seniors, know what they have and how to appreciate it better than any kitten could. And yet… people don't adopt them often.

Young cat follows a man home, settles comfortably in his living room and effectively adopts himself
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".
