Dog lovers, listen up. Now, it is not that we do not believe you, we certainly do. What is not to like about a dog, it's cute, it comes when it is called and if you are lucky it does not lick your face after it has finished licking its privates. But when it comes to cats, there is simply no better. And that can be attested to by the tens if not hundreds of hoomans who have been blessed by the Cat Distribution System.

For the moment they realize they have been chosen by a feline fur baby, all preconceived notions of loving dogs over cats quickly disappear and all you are left with is an adoration for cats and a bemusing admiration for dogs. Which is exactly what happened to the unwitting woman in this story. She thought she knew all she needed to know about cats. She thought she was comfortable keeping her distance from them. Oh how naive she was…

And that ladies and gentlemen is enough to tell you that this is a fully fledged cat person that still does not know it. Who in their right mind goes out of their way to make a snowproof shelter to help a couple of stray cats? It is certainly not something that any doggo devoted person would do. That is purely the act of a feline inclined hooman. The kind of person who melts when they see a fluffy ball of fur that meows at them. She just did not know it at this point…

And there you have it. The intense excitement, the madly falling in love, the scouring of facebook marketplace to get the cat a tree. We are half surprised she did not go out and get the cat a castle while she was at it. They all fall in the end to the ways of the cat, but it is fun to watch these so-called dog lovers fight for their supposed beliefs for a moment or two before they realize just how wrong they were and how right it is to be devoted to cats.
