Runaway kitten chooses a teen on a random walk, but turns out the Cat Distribution System was just getting started

The useful part

System apparently had this entire family planned out years before anyone else knew what was going on. Back in 2012, the future cat pawrent was a teenager attending a French-language high school. March 30 happened to be a day off for Francophonie Day, so instead of getting up at 6 a.m.

How it works

• The weather was nice, so they decided to walk instead of taking their usual bus.
• She put the box down for just a second to lock her door, and one kitten immediately jumped out and ran straight toward them.
• They had grown up with dogs and had never even owned a kitten before, but apparently this tiny feline had already made the decision for them.
• The woman explained that her cat had given birth and she couldn't keep all the kittens.
• They later discovered that "he" was actually a girl, and Philip eventually became Philippa.

What to take from it

One of those kittens was Bastet, who is now 13 years old and, according to her hooman, a very spoiled brat.

Details worth keeping

for school, they slept in and made plans to meet a friend around noon. Along the way, they passed a woman carrying a box of kittens. A year later, Philippa gave birth on her pawrent's bed.
