I know that feeling, my first tabby walked in through an open back door. I put her back outside in an open box with food and water hoping the mom would come get her. Four hours of meowing later I had a cat. She matches my new floors at least!
Everytime I go out i look only forward and walk fast praying that I don’t see any cats or dogs. I already have 2 dogs and 2 cats and I was able to emotionally manipulate my brother to keep 2 others. I can’t anymore lol
It’s the Cat Distribution System
CDS
I’ve never been blessed by the CDS. It’s pretty frustrating and disheartening that I have to chase them down manually and explicitly
Several of the cats I had when I was a kid and now as an adult just came up to my door and started meowing. It’s like God was informing them about which house was most likely to take them in, after some online posts and flyers with no picture (so they have to verify what the cat looks like) that say "lost cat found, contact here ( ) " and putting notices in at the vet and the local shelters, we kept them. My guess is they were all dumped somewhere in the neighborhoods I lived in.
You have been chosen.
Looks like the cat distribution system is working as intended.
Congrats on being adopted. 😺
Protip: check for fleas, had one of these pop up in my backyard a couple years and and nearly infested our house with them. Still have the fellow though, weirdly likes his ears scratched heavily due to his early flea infestation.
He’ll have fleas and parasites. Just treat him for both a and go have his balls cut off before he gets older.
As someone whos had many cats show up this way… Don’t bother checking just assume and treat. Depending on your area, solid chance your fleas may be mostly immune to the cheaper flea collars. I’ve never met a flea infestation that could survive a few weeks of oral nitenpyram and you can order that online.
I wish a cat would choose me. I stand by the window all day and they never stop by
I had to go to a shelter to get mine. No regrets. :)
I’m not allowed in the shelters because there is no way I’m walking out will less than a half of the animals there.
You can have all of the kittens in our neighborhood then. We just rescued 2x starving 8 week olds from a drain pipe (one died) just to find a fucking 2 week old screaming in our backyard. Luckily we found someone who can bottle feed the adorable asshole every 3 hours.
The kitten distribution system fucking blows when you live near a feral cat colony. We already have 6 cats, of which 4 are foster fails because we’re suckers and don’t think strangers will take proper care of them. We purposefully haven’t named the new one because we can’t keep her and still provide proper veterinary care.
feral cat colony.
Have you looked in if your local government has a catch a release program. Where I am some of the rural areas have a process where they spay or neuter, clip the ear then release them back to the area.
They do, but there’s a limit on what we can afford, even with it being subsidized
I can take at least 2
Then come on down to Texas. They’re the cutest fuckers you’ll ever meet. The one we just found a foster for is a super pretty dilute calico, but if she’s anything like our dilute calico she’ll be a beautiful bitch.
It will take more than kittens to get me to enter Texas
That’s definitely fair. Our too many cats is a big reason we can’t leave.
Rookie mistake right there. Gotta stop wanting it. The mysterious house hunting cat will only appear where they are least desired
It’s true. Try wandering around talking about how you’re allergic to cats.
This is how I met my wife as well.
I too am allergic to this guy’s wife
I assume this is a joke but if it’s not you should absolutely find a shelter near you and go talk to them. You can hang out with the potential adoptees while you’re there
It is a joke. Like reverse cat shopping at pet stores
Love that little furball. We found one a month ago and he didn’t make it past night 2.
