A stranded Siamese cat in the winter cold and a good hooman who saves him for the holidays. The protagonist in the story thought his roommate locked himself out of the home and was knocking, but it turns out it was an early Christmas present. The hooman opens the door to find not his roommate, but a little Siamese kitty, with singed whiskers and fur. The hooman has a dog already, but claims the cat and dog are getting along swimmingly. He brings the cutie to the vet, and decides that he's been bestowed a gift from the cat distribution service.

He figures the singed whiskers and fur was probably due to the cat trying to find a warm place to hide, like close to a fire or under a car. Imagine all the poor stray cats and dogs all alone outside for the holidays, just trying to find somewhere warm to be. If you have the opportunity to take in a stray this winter, or at least take it to the vet, then it's worth the investment for the good of animals everywhere. The cat distribution service works in mysterious ways, just like Santa does. Read the full story below.
