A seasoned stray cat decides his days on the street are officially over after discovering the one thing his rescuer's house has that the alley doesn't: ‘He was a BIG fan of the blankets and pillows.’

It's always heartwarming to learn of street cats who discover the joys of being a house cat, the entire home's king or queen, surveying their domestic kingdoms from their comfy thrones. So when we see a fluffy feline who is fed up with the streets and practically adopts himself into a loving home, we feel an urgent need to share.

Every cat person loves hearing about cats who have it well, even if it's not a cat that they're providing for. It's a simple truth of being a part of the global cat community - we're all happy for each other when we know someone gets to experience the joy of providing for a cat. It's not for nothing we call ourselves the humble servants of our feline overlords - we're proud of it. And every cat elevated to their natural position of a household's ruler, is another thing the world done right.

And since this one woman shared her experience tapping into that happy genre of cat adoptions, we feel the feline-lover need to fangirl over it with someone. And that someone is you. We know you're as much of a feline fan as us, since you're already here, so we can safely assume you love a happy ending adoption story just as much as we do. We know people love happy endings in general, but when it's about cat adoption, it makes us think there's a cat-shaped hole in every cat person's heart, ready to host only the happiest of cat adoption stories.

Such are cat lovers - happy for cats just as much as they're happy for a close relative, or a best friend. We're sure there's some deep psychological explanation for it all, but we're not experts on that. What we do know, is that we're extremely happy to know another cat has found his forever home. Every cat deserves that. They deserve a full food bowl, a human who loves them, and four walls to call home.

Look at that belly! Seeing a cat's belly is not a thing to ignore, to accept as a given. When a cat exposes his belly, it means they completely trust the person they're next to. Instinctively, cats hide their bellies, since this is their way to ensure all their vital organs are safe from any potential harm. So if a cat exposes their belly next to you, it's them saying “I trust you so much I'm willing to let all my guards down. Also, I know I look cute.” And since this is how this cat acts inside - we know he found his right place, his forever home.
