Neighbor's beloved 24-year-old cat passes over the rainbow bridge, but feline fate brings a tiny ginger kitten to his doorstep the same day: 'I told my niece if I were to have another cat, I'd get an orange cat'

Life is full of mysteries, isn't it, fam? Like black holes, where our missing socks go (probably into the black holes, honestly), and the Cat Distribution System. Just like we don't even try to question the nature of black holes, we similarly don't question the nature of the CDS - we just know it exists, know it works, and are purrfectly pleased when it turns out in our favor (or someone else's). We know it brings joy to those it blesses with its offerings, and to all of us cat lovers, it brings us happiness to hear of kitties finding their hooman purrtners.

After losing his 24-year-old cat, this loving cat dad proudly pronounced to his niece, "If I were to have another cat, I'd get an orange cat". Well, ask and you shall receive! That very same day, a small, clementine-colored kitten appeared on his doorstep. Purrhaps it was a twist of feline fate, a cute coincidence, or the mysterious work of the CDS bringing these two souls in need together. No matter why it happened, we're purrfectly happy that it did.

Now, do you think there's a similar system for people who need money? If we were to find some money, we would love to find one million dollars. What are the chances that we find that on our doorstep when we arrive home today?

Does anyone else see “love” written in his fur, or is it just us? If so, it looks like Morticia (his cat that left him) sent him not only a new cat, but also a message from beyond the rainbow bridge! That's just the sweetest thing ever.

We're in no rush for our cats to get old, but when they do start getting up there in age, we will definitely get them a kitten. We hope it will energize them and give them a burst of youth and meaning for their lives. It could easily go the wrong way, but if it does work, it will be meowgical.
