About eighteen months ago, a skinny kitten began appearing on rural five-acre properties during a hot, smoky wildfire season. The hooman put out water, then food, and eventually set up a feral cat house. The cautious visitor, nicknamed Luna, stayed twenty yards away but sat in the driveway each night to watch four indoor cats enjoy cuddle time. When the hooman prepared to move an hour away, the realtor worried Luna would lose her lifeline and suggested trapping her for a vet visit and release to a managed colony.

Trapping took patience: Luna was too light to trigger the door until the sixth attempt. She panicked, then settled the moment the human sat beside the covered crate, a tiny meowment of trust. At the clinic came the plot twist: Luna was already spayed, not feral, and purred nonstop when held. No microchip, no claims, likely abandoned.

The new pawrent drove back for her, set up a secure "intro suite," and began a gentle indoor re-acclimation before meeting the resident quartet. Within two days Luna hopped into laps, delivered head-butts, and requested scritches. From driveway moon to living-room sunbeam, a furever chapter is clearly underway.

The Cat Distribution System really does work in mysterious ways, way beyond our mere human comprehension abilities. Sometimes they simply bring a cat to the one who wished for it, like a gift on a special occasion, celebrating the person's love for cats. And sometimes, it brings an extra cat to the people who least expected to adopt another floofy creature into their clowder, but still expand their family with this extra feline friend. And this is exactly what happened to this kind person - who was already a cat pawrent for three cat kids - but still took in an extra fourth.

But as we said, the CDS words in… meowsterious way, let's put it like that. It wasn't a regular distribution occasion. Because, as you can read below, the fourth feline who joined the family needed the help of an inside agent! One of the three already living the house cat dream brought this extra cat. Like the CDS sonar sent him a ping to go fetch the extra friend. And sure enough, this sleeper agent woke up - and left their hooman no choice. But when we're talking about a cat pawrent three times over, we know we're talking about a true cat lover. Of course, of course the CDS knew they could take a fourth.

One of the worst parts about being at work, feline fam, is not having our cats with us. Normally, we do everything together! We nap together, nom on some snackies together, and watch TV while snuggled up on the couch. So it's hard to enjoy our lunch break at work when we always feel that there's something missing… and that thing is cats. Even if it is nice not to have to swat them away while we eat our food, we still miss them attempting to steal it from us. It's cute (sometimes).

If you can't bring your cat to work, then we'll have to bring the cats to you in the form of some hilarious feline posts. These hissterical memes boast big Caturday energy, which we could use right about now, because it's Thursday and the only thing we want more than seeing our cats is for it to be the weekend already. We do not recommend eating anything liquid while scrolling through these memes - the last thing you want is to spray your soup all over Karen from finance because you were giggling too hard. Then, you might be seeing more of your kitties than you would like to (because you would be fired). Don't say we didn't warn you!

When people tell us that cats are aloof, that cats are uncaring, that cats don't actually develop feelings of affection for anyone but themselves, we laugh. Truly, we do. Because we know that nothing is further from the truth. Sure, cats are picky about who they choose to be close to, but once you are chosen, you will receive the full force of the affection that cats have to offer. 

And it is not just humans who feel the affection of cats. It's other animals too. Every once in a while, a cat will choose a dog as its best bud. Sometimes, cats will choose birds as their hangout buddies. It doesn't matter how different they are, how different their behavioral clues might be, if they are chosen, then it will work out. And those friendships last lifetimes. Cats remember. They know who their chosen creatures are, and even if they are separated for long periods of time, once they reunite with their friends, it is amazing to see.

We wish that every morning, a basket full of cute cat memes would wait for us right outside the door. Like the box of milk bottles in the 50s, that the milkman would leave by the door or people early in the morning. Personally, we think that cute cat memes are an essential product, just like milk, and should be distributed to every person each morning. Starting every day with a bunch of cute cat memes is essential for a better day. Just as the Cat Distribution System delivers cats - there should be a cute cat memes distribution system of some sort, bringing cute cat memes to everyone who needs to start the day with some…

Wait a second… That's us! We are the Cute Cat Memes Distribution System. How could we not see it before? We are the ones who can distribute the wholesome cuteness of cat memes in the form of online feline funnies far and wide. In fact, we can do that right now. We will gather some fluffy feline funnies and wrap them well, put them in a cute and cozy basket, and put them right at your online doorstep - as in where you can click away easily and just scroll through them. Because they are essential to a good day.

Cats are unpredictable little creatures. We think that every single cat owner knows this. One moment, you are petting your cat, and the next moment, your cat is biting you. One moment you are cuddling with your cat, the next moment, the cat is meowing and complaining as if it wasn't the cat itself who stuck its face in your neck. One moment, things are good, and then… Well, you got the point. But at the end of the day, cats do have patterns, cats have habits. Generally, you can predict their behavior. But not always. 

After four years of living with this cat, you would think that this man and his wife - who had the cat even before meeting him - would be able to predict its behavior, and yet, the little orange fella managed to surprise both of them. He did such an incredible 180 in his behavior that the husband, who was suddenly getting loved by this cat instead of hated by it, started legitimately losing its mind. And documenting it.

Pets have a way of weaving themsevles so deeply into a family that they become much more than just animals. They can be a comforting companion, a listening ear, even a best friend. Growing up, my parents' tabby cat Julia wasn't just "the cat," she was the glue that held me and my parents together. A family photo didn't look complete without her, she got her own presents on Christmas, and we even celebrated her birthday every year. The idea of losing her, especially to someone else's household, would have been totally unthinkable.

That's the very dilemma one young dad and pet pawrent finds himself in. He entrusted his beloved cat, Ella, to his sister while his wife is in the hospital during a difficult pregnancy. This was always meant to be a temporary arrangement, but when it came time to bring Ella home, his sister and her family had a surprising (and frankly impolite) request. In just a few weeks, Ella had wriggled her way into their hearts, and now they simply couldn't let go. Instead of taking this as motivation to adopt their own new fluffy family member, they actually tried to convince him to them keep her forever!

The shelter is a dark place for any animal. It is filled with doubt and despair as with each passing day that a fluffy feline is left there, they are one step closer to meeting their end. Which is why they need all the help that they can get in order to get adopted and start their new lives in their furever homes. And today we are proud to be participating in the fine tradition of supporting cute cat children in finding their furever families, with the help of photographer u/smittensky, who went through the painstaking process of capturing this boundless beauty of these twenty shelter cats who desperately need a home.

So if you are in the market for a feline fur baby to light up your life, or you simply like imagining what it might be like to save a cute feline life, then get to scrolling.
