    I have always been a dog person (although I like/respect cats) and I never planned on getting a cat.

    I have spent the past couple of years telling anybody who would listen that I have no immediate plans to get a pet since my dog's passing a few years ago.

    Well... I work at a vet clinic and somebody came in 2 weeks ago and told us there was a kitten all alone in the parking lot of the McDonald's next door. I went to catch her. She didn't even try to

    She had no microchip and nobody tried to claim her so she has been with me for two weeks now. One of the doctors at my work estimated that she is maybe 5 months old. She weighed 4.4 pounds.

    Meet Blue! My first pet since my soul dog passed in 2023. She is perfect in every way and I never planned on having her.

    Klutzy-Beyond3319 Gorgeous sweetie. So happy you got a winner in the distribution. This is the way.

  • The Cat Distribution System always seems to know who to give the cat to. Somehow they end up with the exact person who’s in the right place at the right time. It might not be planned, but it works out the way it’s supposed to. One minute it’s a random kitten, and the next it’s your cat.

    DDiamondgem Congratulations! That's one beautiful kitty!

  • Definitely an adorable cat! That little face alone would be enough to win anyone over. It’s hard not to get attached when they look this sweet. You can already tell they’re going to settle in just fine and make themselves right at home.

  • Cat people don’t really go out and get a cat, they just end up with one from the middle of nowhere. One minute you’re minding your business, the next there’s a kitten that needs help and you’re bringing it home. It’s rarely planned and usually happens when you least expect it. Somehow, that’s just how you become a cat person.
