Just imagine - you're moving to a new place, all excited for all the new experiences you're going to have there, the new furniture you're going to decorate your house with, the new neighbors you're going to live right next to, the new… cat that's going to appear on your porch? Well, some new things are truly a surprise when you move to a new place.
And apparently, this is something of a regular occurrence. Sometimes, it seems the cat is sent to the meeting place prior to their soon-to-be human by the Cat Distribution System. It's as if the cats themselves know they're about to meet their forever human, but some force of nature (the CDS, truly) makes them aware the human is moving. So they simply wait for them to arrive - and adopt.
It's true that sometimes the cats simply announce their presence at your home, a kind of "I live here now" moment - like this cat who simply invited himself inside. The similar thread that runs between these CDS cases is that the cats know how to adopt themselves. The humans? They just need to accept their new fate.
And this new porch cat story? She took her time, but she was destined to be adopted by this new resident of the house. She waited patiently, and got adopted as all cats deserve. We wish her and her human many happy years of indoor living.
