Circles and Inhabitants

By now, anyone who has even taken in a cat knows how much of a choice cats have in their adoption. If they do not want to be rescued or taken in, that would simply not happen. They have to want it, and often make that "first step", to ensure they are found by the purrfect hooman who can find them a furever home.

Sometimes, it's crystal clear just how much cats know they are in desperate need of a home, as they would do just about anything to find their hooman, to get the cat distribution system into action.

Take the sweet cat below as an example. It seems like this cute calico cat knew she was sick, and she knew she needed the help of a trusty hooman to get better. So, with the help of the cat distribution system, she found the perfect hooman for her cause, and simply came into their office. She then proceeded to fall asleep on top of the hooman's car, which convinced them that they must help the sweet stray with her journey to recovery.

As the holiday season rolls in with its glowing lights, nostalgic scents, and constant reminders to practice gratitude, it's only fitting that we take a moment to acknowledge the quiet heroes padding around our homes: our cats. Whether they're curled like cinnamon rolls on the couch or supervising the kitchen like tiny, judgmental sous-chefs, felines have a way of making the season feel fuller, softer, and a little more magical. 

Some of the posts are the kind that instantly melt your heart. That "aww" moment when you see a newborn baby, or a kitten on the street. Or the video of a shy rescue cat who finally worked up the courage to sit in her adopter's lap after months of gentle warming up, resulting in both human and cat wearing identical looks of admiration and relief. 

Then there are the classic holiday moments, captured in all their chaotic charm. A fluffy orange menace knocking over the first of many ornaments. A black-and-white tuxedo cat patiently waiting under the dinner table for a generous relative (or a clumsy one) to drop turkey. A trio of kittens discovering wrapping paper for the first time and deciding it is the greatest invention humankind has ever gifted them.

Unlike the myriad of dog pawrents who so easily give up on the puppers they bring home, cat pawrents seem to be far more away of whats up and what it is going to take to live with their cat child. Sure there will be clawminal moments, but there will also be cuddly moments. And sure you as the hooman will not get to decide when each of those things happen, but when it comes down to it that is the point of adopting a catto, you do not want someone to boss around. You want a life partner who has their own thoughts,desries and dreams.

And when soemthing does not suit them, you will most certainly hear about it. Which pretty much sums up the story of the feisty felien who features in this story, who spent almost her whole life being a spicy tamale leaving scratches on everyone who crossed her path. That is until the day she understood how much her pawrent loves and cares for he thanks to a life saving surgery she underwent. Of which she came out of a cuddly, cozy and caring cat, so unlike the cat who she was before that she was barely recognizable. 

Good things come into our lives in the most meowsterious of ways. And by "good things", we obviously mean kittens! The Cat Distribution System has been hard at work recently, and its most current delivery has been this floofy black kitten to a truck driver and his partner. They found her all alone at a truck terminal, and despite not knowing anything about cats or being financially prepurred for one, they decided to take her with them. Honestly, in the end, none of those things matter when it comes to cats. They're fairly intuitive to take care of. All you need is love to give, food to feed them with, and the willingness to put up with their shenanigans.

But, with money being tight and Thanksgiving coming up, this trucking couple wasn't sure what to do with their new feline friend. After much deliberation, they decided to take their kitten with them to their family's house over Thanksgiving, where we're sure she will get a purrfectly warm welcome! Plus, what kitten doesn't dream of being surrounded by tasty food and hoomans who adore them?

This is a reminder for all of us to remember how thankful we are for the cats in our lives. They found us at just the right meowment, and they changed our lives furrever. It's the purrfect time to be purrfectly thankful. Read more of their story below!
