Sometimes the universe looks upon you and knows what you need in your lowest moment, and that is what it did for one cat loving couple when it sent them quite the curious kitten.

The Cat Distribution System is always on the look out to help out hoomans who need the light of a sweet feline to brighten their life. And when this couple of cat lovers ended up being a bit down on their luck the CDS took pity upon them. It knew that if they were not going to gift themselves a cat, then it needed to in order to help pull them out of their funk.

Going through a tough time is never easy, it is in the name after all, but when you have a catto by your side to go through the tough times, then you have a chance of making it through unscathed. Which is thankfully what happened to this couple when a cat who was unable to meow just turned up at their door one day and changed their lives forever more. Providing a perpetual beacon of hope and harmony in their home.

  • Just look at how quickly this kitten went from slumming it outside, digging through garbage to end up in this hooman’s home, eating their food, drinking their milk and generally being given priority over everything and anything that it could desire. But that is the power that cats have over us hoomans, they can just waltz into any hooman home they like and expect to be treated like royalty the moment that they do so. Though that is only in cat loving homes, doggo devoted homes might have a slightly different approach to such an intrusion.

  • Aww, it seems as though the Cat Distribution System had a hand in this one. It must have seen the sadness in this cat loving couples souls and took pity upon them and their hardship by sending them a sweet feline to care for and look after. One can only imagine the delight of being gifted a cat by the CDS when you are at your lowest. It must feel as though the universe has your back and wants to do whatever it can to help. And with the universe supporting you, what in the world can you not achieve?
