    When I found Gustaw, he weighed only 280 grams, now he's a proud 1.2 kg cat. He's an absolute menace and we love him so much

    And guess what. I heard tiny squeaks somewhere in the bushes as I was approaching my original bus stop. The cat distribution system knows better. Always does.

    missed my stop and took off one stop later than I was supposed to so it meant my walk was even longer.

    I checked it, it turned out I bought a ticket with a time limit, not a single one. I got a bit stressed out and as a result, I

    because it the day was hot and I wanted to get back home as soon as possible, I decided to take one that had just arrived, even if it meant a short walk.

    I work at the same company as my husband and one day he had to stay at work for a bit longer - mind you, this doesn't happen often, perhaps once every few

    So in April we lost our 17-year-old boy due to lymphoma and while we knew we'd like to adopt a cat one day, we decided to wait a bit, maybe travel more.

    Ivy Gold Wow. This is the CDS working just about hard as it gets!

    effkay0025 Isn't that funny that the CDS enacted under the most unusual of work commute circumstances?

  • The CDS had quite a few steps to pull off before Gustaw could get where he needed to be. A rare late day at work, a different bus, the wrong ticket, a missed stop, and an extra walk all had to line up perfectly. It sounds like an unnecessarily complicated plan, but somehow it worked. Every little inconvenience pushed his future pawrent closer to those squeaks in the bushes. The CDS took the long way around, but it got the exact result it wanted.

    HouseOfDoom54 That's a little baby if I ever saw one

    Archival_Squirrel That was an elaborate plan on the part of the CDS. Gustaw certainly looks up to the job. What a cutie!

    Uprooted_Vt_to_RI What a sweet little boy! The CDS was right on time!!

    Tina-Tuna I'm so sorry for your loss. Fate is phenomenal sometimes and every step on your journey home that day lead you to this kitty. He's so handsome his little spotted belly and his two tone nose are adorable

  • Gustaw is ridiculously adorable, and it’s hard to believe this fluffy little guy was once only 280 grams of squeaks hiding in the bushes. That sweet face would have made it impossible to keep walking once he was spotted. Now he’s bigger, healthier, and apparently putting all that new kitten energy toward becoming a full-time menace. We have a feeling he can get away with just about anything, though. With a face like that, staying mad at him probably isn’t an option.

    Ifixkitties Ah yes, that sneaky CDS... it always comes up with the most appropriate arrangements! Congrats!

    Moanmyname32 Give Gustaw a little kiss for me on that sweet pink nose! Adorable!!!

    ThatPhatKid_CanDraw It was meant to be! Gustav is so cute

  • There were just too many little coincidences lining up for Gustaw to end up anywhere else. A normal day at work, the usual bus, or getting off at the correct stop could have changed the whole story. Instead, one thing after another put his future pawrent within earshot of those squeaks in the bushes. They might not have been looking for another cat yet, but Gustaw clearly didn’t care about their timeline. He needed a family, and somehow he found his way to one.
