The beautiful thing about the cat distribution system is that it can truly catch you anywhere and at any time. You can be doing the most ordinary thing when your soulcat finds you, and just like that, in a meowment, your life changes forever. You can go on a quick pizza run and come back with a kitten. You can go get a quick coffee at Starbucks and come back with a cat. You can go grab some essentials at Walmart and come back with the most essential thing of all that you didn't even know you needed.

And, like this person, you can hop over for a quick dinner and return with an extra hungry mouth to feed in the form of an adorable kitten who chose you. It really can happen anywhere. And the second most beautiful thing about the cat distribution system is that truly chosen ones do not fight being chosen. They just go along, accepting their fate as cat owners and never looking back ever again.

Cats will find you in the most random places, and that is one of the most beautiful things about the CDS. You may not know that you are ready to adopt a cat, but the cat knows, and the cat will catch you, no matter where you are.

And the best thing about the way that the CDS operates is that, once you are chosen, you, as the human, do not argue. You simply accept your fate, because that is what it is - it's fate, and there is no point in fighting it.
