Cats may not solve problems, but they will absolutely supervise the crying session.

Cats have somehow become tiny furry therapists without ever getting a license. They always seem to know when their pawrent is stressed. Bad day at work? Suddenly there is a cat glued to your side purring loud enough to vibrate the entire couch. Crying in bed? Here comes a little emotional support loaf ready to sit directly on your stomach like that will magically fix everything.

The biscuit making really adds to the therapy session too. Cats will knead blankets, hoodies, legs, basically anything nearby while staring deeply into somebody's soul like little whiskered counselors. Half the time they are probably just hungry, but somehow it still works.

Cats refuse to let anybody be sad alone. The second somebody closes a door for dramatic alone time, there is immediately a paw reaching underneath it or a concerned little meow outside. Purrsonal space is not a part of the healing process.

Of course, cat therapy sessions can get chaotic fast. One minute there is comforting purring and soft cuddles, the next the therapist is biting somebody's ankle because dinner is fifteen minutes late. Emotional support with a side of violence.

Still, cats always seem to appear at the exact right moment. They curl up next to people after exhausting days, follow their pawrents around when something feels off, and somehow make everything feel a little lighter just by existing nearby. Tiny little purrfessionals.

Tuesday proved that cat capacity is more of a suggestion than an actual limit.

This heartwarming rescue story from Reddit's r/CatDistributionSystem subreddit started with one terrified abandoned cat screaming outside after her owners moved away and left her behind. Tuesday was filthy, starving, confused, and clearly desperate for somebody to help her. A lot of people probably would've felt bad and kept walking, but this pawrent immediately decided Tuesday was not staying outside alone like that.

That decision changed her entire life in a single day.

Instead of ignoring her, they brought her inside, gave her a warm bath, fed her, comforted her, and started introducing her to the rest of the family. Going from abandoned outside to suddenly being cared for and protected has to feel unbelievable for a cat like Tuesday. Rescue stories always hit extra hard when you can tell the person immediately opened their heart to the animal instead of hesitating.

Being at catpacity makes the whole thing even funnier too because every cat person knows exactly how that happens. Nobody plans on another cat until one scared little face shows up needing help. Suddenly there's magically room for one more food bowl, one more bed, and one more furry little roommate taking over the house.

Tuesday seriously landed in the purrfect place. Instead of spending another night scared and hungry outside, she ended up with warmth, safety, attention, and humans genuinely excited she showed up. Some rescue cats really do find exactly the people they were meant to find.

Sometimes, cats just kind of… choose that they don't want to live outside anymore. And then a meowgical thing happens. The second they make that choice, the purrfect human suddenly appears in front of them for them to adopt. 

It really does feel like magic, the way that the cat distribution system works. You will be living your life completely normally, and out of nowhere, a kitty will appear in front of you, adopt you and change your life forever. Maybe you're on a walk with your dog when you get adopted. You can be on a coffee run when you get adopted. You can even just be sitting at home when, out of nowhere, a cat will appear on your porch and then never leave again. 

They come, they burst into our lives and into our hearts, and even if they gave us a choice, we would not want them to leave. Because if there is one thing that every cat owner knows is that we are the ones who are lucky to have them. Our cats could have chosen anyone else, but they decided that we are worthy, and for that, we will be thankful for the rest of our lives. 

Sometimes, it's the small things in life that bring us the most joy. We're specifically talking about small cats. I.e. kittens. They are so tiny, but one glance at them is enough to have us smiling so, so big. 

The smaller the kitty, the bigger our smile is. We think that this is the conclusion that we have drawn after years of writing about cats. Adorable senior cats have us smiling with warmth and appreciation. Adult cats have us smiling with love and stability. But kittens… no matter what they are doing, even if they are just chilling, living their lives, they are so silly that they have us smiling the goofiest, purest smiles that we are capable of. 

Itty bitty kitties have this superpower. Even people who claim to hate cats will look at a kitten and melt. Maybe they will hide it, but we know that it is happening in their hearts. No one can withstand the cuteness of a kitten, and in a world where we are looking for pawsitive things that can make us smile every single day, seeing a bunch of pawdorable kittens on the internet is something that we must do. It is actually not a suggestion. 

When the timeline is so glum and sad things keep tending to occur, we need to fill our screens with sweet meowments of kittens, toe beans and purrs. 

We wholeheartedly believe in curating our own feeds. It's possible. We know that our phones are listening, so we ask them for what we want. As ICHC editors, we called out to the internet gods and asked them to fill every one of our brand's feeds with as many sweet cat meowments as pawssible. And we got our wish. Every time we logged onto our ICHC accounts, all we saw was cats. And that was beautiful. It had a meowgical effect on our mental health. So, we asked the internet gods again: "Do the same thing but for our personal accounts as well." And once again, it happened. 

Now, our timelines are filled mostly with cats being silly and cats being adorable, and we could not ask for anything better. Actually, we could. We're asking it right meow. We are asking the internet gods to fill everyone's feeds with precious kitty cats. We think that it would do wonders for the world if everyone started looking at cats instead of anything else more often. 

How would you feel if you just moved and you also just became blessed by the Cat Distribution System?

This couple posted on Reddit's r/CatDistributionSystem that they recently moved to San Francisco, California. They're both huge cat lovers, and they helped with a non profit TNVR organization in Omaha, Nebraska. The wife was even on their board! One day after their move she was driving home from work when she saw a little void cat running onto the highway exit ramp. This little thing climbed into the undercarriage of the car and she was able to get him out and took him to a vet. She named him Axel, and he's 4 weeks old and weighs 1 pound. He got a bath and everything he needs at the vet, and she says he's very chatty! There were no other cats around, and no mama cat. But she's excited to be new in the city with a new cat. The couple already has a 5-year-old cat, and the two will get along swimmingly. 

What's your Sunday procrastination ritual?

We all procrastinate. Even if you're a productive, focused person normally, we all have our days where we're listless, idle, and unplanning. For many, this could easily fall on a Sunday because it's your last day of freedom. You may be staving off thinking about Monday morning's alarm, commute, and work day by distracting yourself all of Sunday. If you are, then come enjoy this endless abyss of cat memes. 

There's an endless abyss of whatever you want on the internet, and in this scenario, it's cat memes. Cat memes means there's happiness, coziness, comedy, and wholesome images of cuties that only make your day more joyful. Combine the endless abyss of entertainment on the internet with Sunday laziness and procrastination and you've got yourself a recipe for endless cat meme fun. Try not to dwell too much on the rigidity of the weekend's ending; there will be another…and another…and another for all of eternity. 

Cats were designed for helping you procrastinate. The way they just enjoy watching you do nothing, the way they distract you from anything you have to do, the way they meow in your ear and demand more tuna just when you're finishing up that busy project at work, and the way they jump in front of your legs while you're walking so that you can't actually get anywhere. It's all proof that they're their happiest when you're enjoying them and giving attention to them and not something else. Animals get jealous just like humans, they want your love and attention instead of letting you do anything! 

What would you do if you saw a kitten in need?

People always like to think of themselves as the heroes of their own stories, but not everyone acts on it the same way. But this one? After reading update after update, we can wholeheartedly say - this woman from r/CATHELP is a true hero for saving this kitten. Not everyone would make the sacrifice. People might ask for help, drop the kitten at a shelter or a nearby foster - but taking a kitten in need, and a sickly one at that, and having all this responsibility put upon yourself is not a thing everybody would do willy-nilly.

That's why we really adore people who save kittens, especially when they truly take the time and effort to do so. At least after all this drama at the start of his little life, this kitten is finally safe, well-fed, in his forever home. Because every cat deserves a forever home, and we're so happy he's got one now.

The crazy of cats and people is a purrfect match.

From the dawn of time, people had their crazies - the king's jester, the witch at the end of the village, the Florida Man. All are examples that demonstrate just how coo-coo humanity is. It doesn't matter the time in history (we're sure there were plenty of crazy people before written history as well), and it doesn't matter the place or the culture (it's an all-Earth thing). And that's why, when you really think about it, crazy cat people aren't that crazy after all.

There's a tendency in society to tag crazy cat people as legitimately insane - choosing to care for a bazillion of cats, investing time, effort, and money to make sure they're alright. But when you put it like this, it doesn't actually sound that crazy. Caring for cats that you love isn't an abnormality - it's the most natural thing a person can do. And you don't have to be a crazy cat person to agree with this statement.

And then you have the comparison to other such crazy people, who might be the legitimately insane personas we think about. It's not crazy cat people - it's the people who decided to train lions at the circus in the 19th century (thankfully illegal in most of the world today), it's the people who end up "winning" a Darwin Award, it's the people who… don't like cats.
