Sometimes, life is like a Wile E. Coyote episode, and we simply roll with the punches.

Something that we have said many times in the past is that the CDS… works in meowsterious ways. I've seen it in my own personal life. My cat - my beautiful, chonky, love-of-my-life cat - was distributed to me by the system as I was walking around on Independence Day. My husband's cat followed him home out of nowhere. She just walked into his apartment. He decided to keep the door open, let her leave if she wanted, and if she didn't, he would keep her. She walked out. Five minutes later, she walked back in, and now, she's here furrever.

But it's not just personal experience. Once you write long enough about cats, you have some insane stories stored in your memory. One of them is the Starbucks barista who got handed a kitten through the drive-through window. Yep, a person pulled up with a backseat full of kittens, and that employee went home with a companion for life. Another one is the story of the kitten who adopted two golden retrievers who were out on a walk with their owner. Yes, she adopted them, not the other way around.

And today, we add another story to our list of favorites. Because the CDS delivery in today's story is one for the books. It's so silly, it's like it came straight out of a cartoon. A person driving in their car, on a completely normal day, has to stop because in front of them, chasing a little kitten, is a fox. And to add to the meowgic of this moment, after rescuing the kitten from the cartoonish fox, bringing her home, and helping her with her wounds, this person decided to give her the most purrfect name. Have you guessed it yet?

Oh, we can only imagine this moment. Sitting in your car, going on about your day, when suddenly, out of nowhere, you are transported into a cartoon. A kitten being chased by a fox. It's almost like a joke, except we're sure that the kitten did not think it was all that funny. Naming her after the Fox though, there sure is humor in that, and it's exactly the kind of humor we approve of in this situation.

Not going to lie, getting this update about Fox made us so happy. I saw this story years ago, it made me happy years ago, and seeing it again today brought back all that joy and more. Knowing everything that she went through and seeing her thriving with her new family… I could not have asked for a better update. Except you gave me exactly that, because not only is Fox happy and thriving, now she's going to have a cat best friend too.
