The job? Break into a human house. The plan? Skedaddle into her home and her heart.

Some cats are just friendlier than others, and this meowzer in tabby cat trousers was the friendliest, sweetest feline on the street. The problem was that she was a street cat, beholden to the outside world without a place to lay her head at night. However, this clever kitty learned that she could guarantee her nightly safety and secure a forever friend by playing up her snuggly demeanor. All she had to do was hunt down the purrfect human and concoct a break-in plan.

Wanda knew what she was doing when we Wanda'd into the house; she was making it her home.

She ran into my apartment and refuses to leave.

This determined kitty knew exactly what she was doing.
She first, found the perfect human to take care of her. She needed someone kind, malleable, and prone to loving kittens. Luckily, that's most human beings on this earth. Once she found the perfect soul to take her in, she bombarded her with friendliness and love. Who can say no to a feline that's meowing for attention, cuddling on your lap, and rubbing their head in the palm of your hand? Exactly, nobody can deny that kind of kitty love.

First, she made camp in the house, and then she set her heels in.
Stubborn as ever, this kitty refused to take no for an answer and decidedly kept her point of interest in the home. Little did she know, she would find something better than a roof over her head: she found a home.

All cat lovers know that the Cat Distribution System works in mysterious ways. May the CDS bestow upon you a best friend like Wanda, who unwittingly became the star of the show and the apple of this cat lover's eye all in an instant. All they needed was an opportunistic mail run, and the rest was history.
Or should I say, MEOWstory.

If only we could all be so lucky in the feline department. Sometimes you just need to put those pawsitive vibes out there and a Wanda will come wanda-ing into your life when you least expect it.
