Kindhearted hooman finds an abandoned kitty out in the cold, so he takes it with him to feed it and give it a furever home: 'Apparently I’m the chosen one'

Isn't it wonderful when the Cat Distribution System works its way into some unsuspecting hooman's life?

Sometimes in life, the most wonderful episodes happen when we least expect them. We may find exactly what we needed without even noticing or ever looking for it.

I believe that pets are one of those lovely life coincidences, a serendipity, if you will. We love animals because, how could we not? They're the best part of inhabiting this planet. But it's not like we're constantly looking for a new pet or a new animal to be friends with. Those come into our lives unexpectedly and just get there to make everything better and provide us with a much-needed dose of furry happiness. We can be walking down the street or driving in our car and suddenly hear a faraway barking or a high-pitched meow. In those moments, we can't just ignore it: we have to know where it's coming from and what defenseless creature needs our attention. That's pretty much how the Cat Distribution System works: finding kitties at random moments and feeling so in love with them that we have no choice but to take them with us. It's a win-win type of situation: we get a lifelong companion, and they get the love of a family. What could be better than that?

I know what I'm talking about because that's pretty much what happened to me. My cat got into my life in the most random moment ever, and exactly when I needed her the most. My friend texted me on a Wednesday, telling me she and her husband were fostering a kitten they couldn't keep and asking if I could take her. It was so out of the blue that I didn't even know what to say, but after a little while of thinking about it, I could say nothing other than yes.

For this guy, it was pretty much like that. He was walking down the street when he found a small furbaby out and alone in the cold. He took it home with him, and soon became the best of friends!

It's both hilarious and comforting to notice that all cats, no matter where they are or how old they are, do the exact same thing: get obsessed with food. This little guy is drinking milk from this syringe in such a desperate way, you'd think he hasn't eaten in decades. He was alone in the street, so he was likely hungry, but now he has a stable source of food. What baffles me about cats is that, no matter if they get fed every day at the same time, they will always yell at you and beg for food as if they hadn't seen a plate with a meal in ages. My cat does that every morning: I get up, and she follows me around the house meowing until I fill her plate. And my grandma's cat is even worse! That little girl has some good lungs, because you can hear her meowing for food from the other side of the house. They are our crazy, hungry, and demanding furbabies, and we love them just as they are.
