What are the chances that he'd see an ad for two maine coons?

It can be incredible to get exactly what you want. Life is full of ups and downs, and there's really no telling what's too big to ask, to want, to hope for, and what isn't. The simple things aren't easy to come by these days. Even if you just want a stable job and to enjoy your personal life and a stable home, these aren't things that are as easy to achieve as they were previously. The world is changing all the time, and things are immensely unstable. Without that baseline stability, it can feel difficult to ask the universe for special favors, but you might as well ask and see what comes out of it. 

In Reddit's r/CatDistributionSystem, a man going through a breakup had the idea to get a cat. He wanted to get the cat with his now ex while they were still together, but fate had something else in mind for him. He likes big cats, fluffy cats, bold cats who make a statement. He really wanted a maine coon, but that's not always the easiest breed to adopt, and he didn't want to buy. He thought about it and let the cat distribution system do it's work. You can call it karma for being broken hearted, or you can call it fate. But he then saw on Craigslist two maine coon siblings up for adoption! The owner couldn't take care of them anymore but was torn about parting from them. If you didn't believe in the cat distribution system before, you should now!
