Husband's birthday plans ruined after family tragedy stops him from getting the cat of his dreams, until a pregnant stray grants him a kitty gift anyway

The useful part

Birthdays have so much expectation on them, and when they don't go according to plan, it could feel like the whole universe is against you. You probably know someone who's a "birthday person." They're the people who decide their birthday is a whole week or month rather than a day. As we get older, our lives and friends and families might drift in different areas and arenas, and it can be grueling to try to plan for many adults to get together and do something to celebrate.

How it works

• It sort of makes sense to have a birthday celebration for family, then another for friends, and another for coworkers, etc.
• The husband really wanted a 2nd cat for his birthday, and his wife promised him such.
• They even contacted their local fostering agency and had an appointment scheduled at Petsmart.
• His wife's brother passed away tragically and unexpectedly a few days before his birthday, and so they would potentially have to travel for the funeral, and couldn't commit to the cat adoption plans anymore.
• That's when the fates of the cat distribution system had something to say about it.

What to take from it

It's known that if someone wants a cat and puts their wish out into the world, it just happens. So not long after the passing, they found out her cousin and his long time girlfriend adopted a cat...

Details worth keeping

A pregnant stray is exactly what this guy needs after his birthday fumble.
