Circles and Inhabitants

A cat and a tunnel are a match made in whiskered heaven. Give them one, and suddenly you've unleashed a tiny explorer on the grandest adventure of their day. They slink in low, tails flicking, eyes bright with curiosity, before launching out the other end like a puff of mischief and fur. It's not just playtime. It's a full-scale mission of fun.

The crinkle of fabric is their call to action. Every twist and turn becomes a mystery to solve. Maybe there's a toy to stalk or a hooman ankle to surprise. Some cats treat tunnels as racetracks, zooming through in bursts of excitement, while others turn them into cozy hideouts for quiet naps and dramatic peeks.

Watching them is pure entertainment. One moment they're fierce hunters, the next they're loafed up and purring inside their little fortress. For cats, tunnels aren't just toys. They're portals to joy, adventure, and the occasional ambush. The best playthings don't need batteries, just a bit of curiosity and a whole lot of fluff.

Pet bonds are strong. There's something about loyalty with an animal that hits differently than with a person. Even if it's your spouse, parent, or best friend, there may be something going on there that makes you think to yourself, "but…". In this story, a cat is the catalyst (no pun intended) to a relationship crashing down. The couple has been together for 6 months, so it's pretty young, and they're still building trust and comfortability. The boyfriend is the one with his cat, Mr. Whiskers, who he's had for 5 years. The boyfriend admits that Mr. Whiskers isn't the most friendly at first, and he takes a while to adjust to new people. But of course he does, he's a cat! It's one of their stereotypes, of course they hiss when they don't know someone. 

But the girlfriend takes it personally; she complains constantly about Mr. Whiskers keeping her up at night, hissing at her, and destroying her things. She gives her boyfriend an ultimatum: it's her or the cat. Well, he chooses the cat, but you'll have to read the full story for all the details. 

Cat pawrents, we need to have a sit down and get real. You treat your feline fur babies, just as you would a hooman child. Now, we are not here to tell you that you are wrong and that they are not your biological children, for of course they are. But what we want to address is that lack of follow through you guys have when it comes to committing to the things you say you want your cat children to do. And this list of feline pawrent posts pondering what jobs would suit their cat children is a purrfect example of that.

You lot are willing to sit around all day taking photos of your cute cats, positing all sorts of different things that they could do in their lives. Yet, how many job interviews have you taken them to? None. And so today we wish to suggest to you to become proactive, get out there and get your cat a job. At the very least, to help pay for their expensive food habits. It's the least they can do…

Cats. Also known as literal angels sent down to earth from heaven. Yes, we stand by that. It is a fact, a truth that cannot be argued against. Cats have little halos around them. That is why every time that we see one, our brain goes blank, we fill with love, with the desire to pet them and make them happy. Every single cat makes us feel like this. And the only explanation is that they are little angels. But… every halo comes with a hiss, and as adorable and angelic as they are, cats do have a naughty side. 

Now, we, as people who truly love cats and see their halos always, don't judge them for this side. We love it when our cats are naughty, and although some people might see the following list as a list of cats being shamed, we don't see it that way. We see this list as a list of appreciation - for the good cats and for the naughty cats, because to get the halos, you have to appreciate the hissing as well. 

Our favorite thing about real cat distribution system stories is that they never miss. Sure, you can be someone like us, who loves cats and wants to adopt cats and would do literally anything for them, and then come across a stray kitten that needs adopting and say that it's the cat distribution system. It would be true, but it would also be obvious. Because duh, yes, we'll adopt the kitty. Real cat distribution system stories are ones where it goes for people who are not like us - when someone who hates cats gets chosen or someone who never wanted a cat.

And it's also stories like the one we have for you today. Yes, the person who adopted the kitten didn't hesitate, so maybe they were one of us - one of those people who would obviously be happy to be chosen by the system. But not… their cat. They already had one when they adopted the kitten, and there was absolutely no guarantee that things would work out with the two. But of course they would. Because this is the CDS we're talking about, and this kitten chose her cat too, not just her human.
