After looking up cats on the internet all week, he found that the universe listened and presented him with a cat of his own… just not when or where he expected.

Be careful what you wish for, especially if it's a cat. Because, as we've learned with the Cat Distribution System, if you wish for it and you're a kind purrson, you will be delivered a cat. Probably when you least expect it, like on your way to the mechanic shop to get your car checked out.

In the middle of a livestream, Torian Strauss heard something coming from inside his car. It was none other than a tiny feral kitten, hiding underneath! He admitted in a follow-up video that he had been researching cats on the internet all of last week, and that was enough for the CDS to send one right to him.

He took the scared baby to the shelter, hoping to find her a home, but the shelter refused to take her because she was too young. With no other option, Torian decided to let fate be fate and adopt her for himself. He named her 'Miss Piggy Pampers', along with a bunch of other cute nicknames, like the purrfect 'Piggy Bologna', and others. He gave her a flea bath, bought her her own pink cat castle, and was clearly falling in love.

There's something so wholesome about someone becoming a cat purrson in real-time, and that's exactly what you can see here. Just a guy, rescuing a cat, and then realizing that she's everything he had ever wanted.

Isn't it so crazy where we can experience the same thing as someone else without even meeting them? Whoever was watching Torian's livestream watched him discover the kitten in real time. They got to go on this journey with him, like a little supportive family. What a time to be alive! More cat rescues on camera, please!

You know he's truly turning into a cat purrson when he starts giving her a million different pet names all within a few hours. Our cats have at least 20 names, and we're not even sure if they remember their original ones at this point.
