A fateful and romantic story such as this one we have yet to come across, well other than this story. It tells the tail of two star crossed lovers who find each other by moonlight on one fateful night when one of them was out for a midnight hike. They fit together like two pieces of a puzzle, completing and caring for each other in purrfect harmony.

So you might be asking yourself how did the cat get to be in the middle of woodlands in the middle of the night and you would be very right to ask such a question. The truth is that this kitten is a tortie, and a vocal one at that. Their breed is known for being a handful both vocally and physically and in a likelihood the kitten's family could not handle their hectic life with it and decided the woods was a purrfect place to part ways. And in a weird certain sense they were not wrong, but mainly lucky.

Lucky because the hooman who saved this kitten was a vet. The purrfect person to care for the tiny feline and one of the few who knew how to help it get over its separation from its mother. You see according to the vet it happened too early, and when that happens animals can end up with severe behavioral issues if not health issues too. So it is incredible that the Cat Distribution System put such a vulnerable soul in the hands of a pawfessional.

Well, darn it if the CDS did not pull out all the stops on this one. It’s almost like a romantic comedy. One fateful night when this person goes on a midnight hike (at that who goes on midnight hikes even?) a lonely veterinarian looking for love comes upon a kitten who could not leave them alone. Having chosen their hooman this kitten did not even know how good they had it. Together they will heal each other and learn to love again. You simply cannot make this stuff up!

It is truly impressive to see how accurate and intentful the CDS can be. It did not only choose a vet who needed the company of a cat, but also a cat who really needed the company of a vet, or at least someone who would understand everything about them and how to help them. At the best of times it is tough to figure out what our cat children want from us other than treats, but we are talking about a little baby who has not even mastered a teenage cat’s level of communication.
