Now, in most Cat Distribution System stories our focus is on the feline, their condition and the way in which they are found. And while this story does have those elements it also harbors something far more mystical than even the CDS itself. We begin our tale when our rescuer releases their dogs to play in the yard. Upon which they hear the cries of what they assume to be a bird. But those high pitched wines were not of the aviary kind but from a tiny kitten trapped in a ditch in the neighbor's house. Wasting no time our rescuer got to work and scooped the kitten out of its spot and got it to safety. But not before spending a significant amount of time outdoors with the kitten crying out for its mother. This is a critical step in kitten rescues as often their momma is nearby and very interested in having her child retuned to her. Sadly for the kitten this was no the case this time and so it was take indoors into isolation from the fur family dogs and cats to calm down and decompress from its harrowing journey. It was at this point that our rescuer had time to reflect and sense that something greater might be at play. That this kitten might not have landed in their lap by happenstance. But that it might be a way for their late mother to reach out and show them that she is looking out for them. Their mother loved cats and the pair would often bond over their shared love of felines.

There are more than enough reasons to rather confidently assume that cats have mystical powers, or at very least are a part of a larger system that uses them to reach out to hoomans. Whether you look back at the ancient Egyptians, witches in the middle ages and even today with the Cat Distribution System. Cats have always had a mystical edge. So the idea that this tiny feline might be a gift from the great beyond is not all too difficult to stomach. In fact it is quite the heartwarming way for this hooman to remember their late mother and the love that they shared for feline kind.

You do not have to believe that cats are magic, you do not have to believe in magic at all. But you do have to appreciate that the arrival of this cat is incredibly serendipitous and is a very legitimate way for this hooman to connect with the memories and emotions tied to the people they loved in their life. And at the end of the day, when all is said and done in our lives, the love we share with others is literally all that we have and all that remains.

You know it is not often that we get to see such a shining example of a CDS delivery but boy oh boy have we got one on our hands here today. First off you have to give a tip of the hat to this hooman for constantly checking on their neighbor’s potential animal trap to make sure that no animal meets harm it does not deserve. But then you also need to awwpreciate the care taken to ensure that this tiny kitten did not have a momma nearby who might have been looking for it. It is the most commonly missed step in kitten rescues and one that is critical for both kitten and momma.

You know what? This might actually be true. Cats are known for being incredibly mystical beings. Whether it be their ability to heal our souls, turn up in completely random places or as in this case seemingly arrive at the behest of a passed relative. There is no shortage of proof that cats have a connection to otherworldly powers. And in this case it really only adds to the heartwarming nature of the story. The idea that this person’s late mother could reach out to them from beyond the grave, to show them that she is looking down upon them in feline form is almost overwhelming.
