Imagine a snow cap so bad that no one wants to go outside, where the frigid frost lights the windows so that you can't even see outside, and even a rolling fireplace doesn't give you the warmth you need. Now imagine that snow cap and being a stray kitten, outside and lost in the cold. Christmas miracles are real, and despite anyone's religion, the cat distribution system works in mysterious ways. 


Take the protagonist here in the story below. He knows this snow cap will be a bad one, estimated to have a projection of a foot of snow. He still hears the meowing of a little kitten outside, like a mother would hear the crying of her baby. He takes the cat in to save it from the icy cold. He posts everywhere, checks for collar, tags, and anything else to find out if the little one belongs to someone, or if anyone wants him. But alas, no one claims him. 
Though his home is already full of cats and dogs, he decides to take this as a message to keep the little one. He adds Blizzard to his family, and it feels like he was always meant to be there.

There's a quiet, unmistakable moment that happens when you adopt a cat and realize something has shifted. The subtlety of karma and cosmic happenings can inspire a new hope and aliveness that transmutes throughout all you do. One day, you look over and see your little kitty stretched out in the middle of the room, belly exposed, completely at ease, and you know you were meant for each other. Fate is not something seen, it's something felt, and in the story here, it seems the universe had it's own plan for what was about to ensue. Maybe it was that the human needed the cat more, and maybe the cat needed the human more. No matter how you look at it, it was a Christmas miracle from the cat distribution system. This place isn't just where they live. It's home.

    The universe thought that we needed a new cat for Christmas. Or maybe the universe figured that a cat needed a family for Christmas.
