I proudly labeled myself as a “dog person” for the vast majority of my life. I loved all doggos, and I felt that I innately knew how to communicate with them. Cats, on the other hand, were a great mystery to me. I didn’t understand their behavior, and I always felt uncomfortable around them. How could I predict when one was going to bite or scratch?
Well, that all changed when a relative begged my partner and I to adopt the cat she had to give away. I reluctantly agreed, and upon taking him home, my life instantly changed. He is the sweetest, cuddliest, most precious angel, and I can’t imagine my life without him.
As it turns out, many cat owners have found themselves in similar situations, suddenly ending up with companions that they didn’t expect. Redditors have recently been sharing wholesome stories of how their feline friends found them, so we’ve gathered the most heartwarming tales below. Enjoy scrolling through, and be sure to upvote the ones that make you believe in the cat distribution system!
He found me. Never wanted a cat, never cared for cats until this little fuzzy kitten started appearing on my Center Console at the Marina. It would make me mad sooooooo much. Every time I’d go to go fishing or do routine maint he would be there. I’d shoo him on the dock and shooo him away. Well I’m not a complete a**hole so I got him a gravity feeder and waterer. Homie lived in the boat for about four months. Then one day followed me to the car, and jumped in. That was 14 years ago. I’ve four now.
Dude has been to the Bahamas three times, Dry Tortugas 6 times and who know how many miles of trolling for gamefish.
Here he is as a 14yo distinguished a*****e.
His name is Beagle after Darwin’s boat.
His Mom gave birth in a utility closet of a group home for the disabled I was staying at after an accident. He and his siblings were accidentally locked inside with her outside when she got startled and ran out. They survived a couple of days inside without her all alone before it was discovered. They were less than 2wks old. The maintenance guy left the door open after it was discovered hoping she’d come back. She came back that night for 1. Came back the second for 2. And the 3rd night …she didn’t come back for him. Or the next.
After that I couldn’t stand it anymore. I was in this group home, still learning to walk again, using a walker, and didn’t have two nickles to rub together. I returned clothing I’d been gifted to buy KRM and bottles, and started touring him around in a basket on my walker. He learned to walk with me. He’s sleeping next to me right now.
“It was really to see how people came across their cats. Once I got my cat and I was introduced to the world of cat owners, it seemed like my story is like everyone else’s,” the author shared. “We get chosen, not the other way around. I have been around cats almost all my life, but I have never found one like her who still has the attitude of a cat, but a complete soft spot for me and only me. It’s curious.”
I went in intending to adopt a cat from a litter that had been living on a friend’s back porch, and I had one picked out, but I had been reading about how to make a good happy home for him and was debating adopting two from the litter so he had someone to hang out with while I was at work, but my friend wasn’t sure if the others would be good for it – they were MUCH more skittish with humans they didn’t know, and I wasn’t going to force it with a cat who wasn’t vibing with me.
I shouldn’t have worried, because when I went over there to pick up my intended cat and meet the others if they would allow me, one of them – the runt of the litter, a shy tiny girl with more of a squeak than a meow, who had according to my friend had always dashed away immediately when she saw a strange person, immediately approached me, squeaked, and started climbing up my jeans, up my jacket, placed herself in my arms and started gnawing on my nose, and the decision about taking them both was made for me. That was a little over three years ago now and not a single night has passed that she hasn’t curled up on my pillow and made herself a little teddy bear for me, she’s just the sweetest little baby.
