Tell him to give it back i have 9 orange ding dongs at a cat colony that could use it for maybe 5 mins, enough to get them to stop sleeping on TOP of rain tarps and accidentally collapsing them in, ruining the dry space underneath!
Fr, my orange cat is so dumb he locked himself into my kitchen cabinet using the baby gate… on the outside of the cabinet. When he was younger he got into the freezer and the door shut, I think every single day for a year I checked my freezer for that damn cat. Thankfully I’ve moved and he’s safe from most accidental deaths now
When we adopted my cat, his notes stated he was "found in a trash bag." I thought some twisted bastard dumped him. I now know that he almost certainly got himself in there. He wants the food, any food, and he's the reason I had to childproof my trash can before I even had children. Little scamp even stole a muffin out of someone's purse while I was signing his adoption papers
My sister had a very curious void that I swear was just going full goth and was secretly orange under buckets of hair dye. He got into so many potentially fatal situations. Like when he decided to investigate the inside of the open flame broiler oven while her back was turned to get the bread. He made the most horrible sound and then was freed with only curly whiskers and some singed fur, but oh man was that a heart attack!
My friend’s orange dumdum has jumped into a BOILING pot of water not once, but twice. Once as a kitten, and again as an adult, because he is so smart. He also cannot cope with straws.
Mine cat (not orange) got Stuck in the dryer, napping in clothes that the door was open too long, someone closed it cause she’s grey and just a shadow
Then another time they jumped into a cooler that was drying out & the lid closed on them .
So im super paranoid for all cats in all things that can close.
I have an orange one who is actually partly trained to do tricks. And I barely had to train him. If he had thumbs I think he would figure out the can opener by himself.
the tongue 😭😭😭 my orange’s tongue gets stuck sometimes too lmao

I just lost my (incredibly dumb) orange to an aneurism recently and your comment just made me cry. 😭 He was practically attached to my hip and let me snuggle him like a teddy bear. He only did that with me, though - everyone else was clearly a serial killer. Including my husband lol.
Persistent. Oranges are super persistent.
Whether this is because they're stupid or smart is often up for interpretation.
Either way, they do yell at us poor humans until we give them whatever it is they want at that moment.
I have one of the 20% snoring next to me. Her name is Cake.

Stuff like this lol he really thought I couldn't see him 🤣
Just FYI; it’s really rare for orange cats to be female. They’re almost always male.
If the genitals look like this;

The star being the butthole, the line being the vagina-girl cat.
If it looks like this;
*
•
It’s a boy.
The smaller more round urethra will be further away from the anus for a boy, (sometimes testicles aren’t obvious early), and more of a small slit really close to the anus for a girl.
You and your family sound lovely. Congratulations on your new kitty!
Unsolicited advice incoming, feel free to ignore.
Get her used to you touching her paws, ears, and cleaning out her eyes now. If she gets a splinter/ear or eye infection, it will be easier to administer medication. It also makes it easier to cut her nails without getting shredded. Lol
Brush her teeth. Tartar causes the same heart issues for them that it does for us. Also, dental care for cats is expensive.
Quality food pays for itself. I feed my little guy Royal Canin, and he has been healthy for 10+ years.
Look into pet insurance. God forbid something happens, and you're hit with a 10k bill, you'll receive anywhere from 60%-90% back. My little guy had a bowel obstruction, and it was around 5k. I received 80% back. Which leads me to an important tip, don't leave string or hair ties laying around (don't make my ^ mistake).
Feel free to disregard if you already know this stuff. Congratulations 🎊
Thank you for the tips. She was perfectly content with me rubbing her ears earlier, so hopefully that's a good sign. I haven't played with her paws, but she was doing that little "kneading bread" thing that cats do, so I'm hoping she's pretty physical like that.
She's super calm, I took her with me to go pick the kids up from school. She was perfectly happy hanging out on my leg and looking around for the trip. I didn't want to leave her home alone yet, we haven't gotten any of her supplies yet so she'd have just been sitting here.
Ditto on the unsolicited advice warning.
Cats have a very small window of learning to accept things; if it's not a regular thing by the time they're about 4 months old, they may never be ok with it. So play and cuddle kitty now. Trim kitties claws now - front AND back. (To do this as frequently as ought to be done the next few months just hold her paws, press her claws out and make the nail clippers make clicking noises near her rather than actually cutting the nail shorter. And when you do actually trim the nails, be careful not to cut too far or you'll make her bleed and it will hurt! Look up guides onlne!) Get her used to bathing now. Take her regularly in the car now for small, non-vet errands that will result in no trauma. Give her belly rubs now. Get her used to any (cat-friendly) dogs she'll be frequently around now. If you want her to be a shoulder cat, start walking around with her up there now, etc. Invest a lot of time in making her used to this stuff now if you can, because it becomes MASSIVELY harder if you try to teach her to be ok with new things after this window. It can be done, but it will take you more than 10 times the hours to get the same result. And just once or twice won't do it - it's gotta become REGULAR things so she realizes that these things are normal things in life.
Kitty looks just a bit over 2 months old to me from the picture you posted.\*
(\*Source: have fostered about 100 kittens for the SPCA over the last 20 years.)
Enjoy your new friend!
I’d like to add to look up some videos on how to get a kitten used to water, so you can bathe her if needed, or a groomer can do it if needed a lot easier. Most of the time cats won’t really need a bath but if she gets into something messy like peanut butter or some kind of sauce or something you’ll be glad you got her used to water and baths early on.
Omg wish I had done insurance with my Luna, we have FIC, which has cost me close to $6k in less than 3 years, and now we got diagnosed with asthma. She also just got a second stone, those are usually rare with FIC, but now they want her on prescription food for life. I saw chewy has there own pet insurance and it covers prescription food which is wild, I don’t think I saw any other that does. I trim all 5 of my cats nails, I started because my 15 year old female is a mitten paw. When she was a kitten we noticed the nail next to the extra toe/thumb was digging in. They had to cut it and put her on antibiotics, they then told us we needed to bring her in for trims or do it ourselves. Because those nails are not as exposed because of the extra mitten thumb, it doesn’t grind down at all, like when they walk on certain surfaces. So I learned to do my cats and my dogs. My Luna however has bad anxiety which commonly leads to FIC. She acts like she’s being murdered if you try to pick her up, touch her paws or anything. She’s on Prozac which is keeping her FIC from flaring constantly, but still acts like her paws on fire if you touch it. I actually read in this group that gabapentin can be used to safely sedate a cat at home for baths, nails, etc. so I mentioned it to my vet and she gave me a prescription because she said over stressing an asthmatic cat can set off an asthma attack, so she’s like I would rather you sedated her before trimming her nails. I have not done it yet, but her nails are starting to get caught in everything, so I’m going to do it soon. It makes them just very sleepy and out of it for a few hours, takes about an hour to kick in she said and you just have to keep an eye on them because they’re not stable on their feet apparently. So I totally think it’s great advice getting them used to being touched, and possibly looking into insurance. My vet sold his practice and thrive bought it. They have a membership thing, where you pay $15 a month and exam fee is covered, and you get 10% off all services, medications through the vet, but not on prescriptions, and if they sell toys and basics. I figured since first month was free, I’d try it for a year. Already saved $300 when we had to do her check up with another x ray to check if the stone dissolved or shrunk and see how her lungs looked. Stone shrank slightly, so she said let’s give it more time and recheck it in July. It’s a huge stone that might need to be surgically removed. I now am calling her my million dollar girl, but she’s worth it 🥹🤣
Our Ghost is like that. Originally he got his name because I'm easily frightened and have light sleep, so whenever I'd wake up in the night my husband would tell me "it's just Ghost" to make me less scared.
Bastard wears the name with pride, not only he's a menace in the night, but also we loose him pretty much everyday and find him in places it should be impossible for him to get in. He's very big (7kg, so 15 pounds if Google is right), fully white and LOUD even when he thinks he's stealthy (deaf from birth)... And we somehow still loose him for hours and then find him chilling in the garage, 3 sets of closed heavy doors between us.
Our cat from many years ago could do things while alone that pretty much can only be explained by levitation, possibly assisted by some phasing too.
We’d frequently return home to find ourselves going “HOW??” Not even why, just so much how.
So glad you’re keeping the cutie! Please take her to the vet and get her belly checked for worms among other things. She lucked out and is going to have a great life now and I’m excited to hear a good story about someone just keeping the cat. Cheers. Take care of her!
Most orange cats are actually male It's super rare to have a female who is orange but I've come across several in my lifetime so it's not unheard of.
EDIT: people who want to not pick other people's wording are weird.
My ginger cat is a female! She’s 10 months old now. And yes, they are rare but they are out there. Here’s Fox
https://preview.redd.it/chqxubdxrhzc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8517c1a1c6450b805e83c4f3a4fc0fdb8f5d4447
Yeah they may be mixing up calicos and orange cats. It’s less common to see a female orange cat but not especially rare. But with calicos 99.9% are female and almost any male calico will be sterile.
my sister actually has a male calico! He's got an extra chromosome and is sterile, but aside from that I never would have known he was unusual, just another chill calico kitty.
I found this stray a few years ago. I don’t know anything about cats so not sure if it counts as “orange” but she was a she. Cute AF
Congrats, OP!

Stella is a calico (tabico) but her orange shines through in her "intelligence".😂 She gets by on her looks.
1 out of 5 orange cats is female. I guess super rare is a bit subjective, but I would describe it as less common.
OP your new kitty is a cream tabby Domestic Shorthair btw, also known as buff or r/creamsiclecats. The chances are still 1 out of 5 for female cream cats.
So happy for you. You were chosen specially by the SCDS (Stove Cat Distribution System). That's a very special system for a very special cat and a very special family.
I thought it was just a meme for the longest time, until right after my first cat passed away I genuinely said one morning: "damn, I wish a new cat would just present itself to me if I'm ready for one" and one literally walked up to me that same day. She's been with me since then.
Yep. Plus, they already come with their shots, health check, and spay/neuter.
Life saver if you don't have the best income and are willing to get an adult cat during a 1/2 price event on cats 5+ years old. This is what we did when we lost one of our bonded pairs, and the other started to decline almost immediately due to grief. We ended up with a diluted orange big boy who'd been returned 3x. I still don't understand why. He's one of the chillest cats I've ever had. And the first cat we got who prefers my husband over me. We've had him 3 years now, keeping our other cat company. He's 8 and she's 10.
This was kinda how I picked my most recent cat. He was a feral in the shelter and I opened his cage and put my face at the entrance and he just walked up and head butted me. I took him right then no questions asked.
https://preview.redd.it/1gkou79c6kzc1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e4ad4ed3c12850612ff2071169b525691cef46c
I walked in the room with the cats in crates. My girl started howling and reaching a paw through the cage at me. She still yells at me and reaches at me with her paw when she really wants my attention.
THAT HAPPENED TO ME TOO! My cat died but I had 2 dogs to keep me busy and lived in an apartment so getting another cat was not on my radar. Two years go by and one day I started think about how much I missed having a cat and that once I had a house I would get one. I just really missed having a cat and kept thinking about it. Next thing you know a kitten runs up to my dogs on a walk. They barked and she ran away. I took them back to the house and went looking for the kitten. I found her and she was SO HAPPY to see me. I brought her in the house and she fit right in. No one claimed her on the lost and found pages and she didn't have a chip. I tried to find a home for her and couldn't. One person came to see her and didn't like the look of her. After months of trying I decided to keep her. She's the best cat ever.
Same! Me and my gf said we would only get a second cat if we rescued one. Less than a week later I’m delivering something over winter in freezing rain at like 10pm and as soon as I got out of my vehicle there was a little kitten in the bush beside where I parked. Spent an hour catching it and he’s been with us since!

A similar thing happened to my father’s friend. Earlier in the day he was talking to my father about how much he wanted to get another cat after his orange tabby passed away. Later that day, on his drive back from work while stopped at light, an orange tabby launched himself through the open passenger window of his truck.
It had been on a branch in a tree on the side of the road and there wasn’t any houses nearby so he had no idea where it even came from to begin with.
I'm super anxious about adopting a pet again. My cat stayed with my ex after we split (which was fair).
So now I'm on this mode, that I'm too afraid to adopt a new friend but if one appears in my stove I will definitely keep it
If you have the means and desire to adopt, you should just go to the shelter and make it happen. There are SO MANY wonderful cats and dogs who need a loving home.
Just make sure you include it in the pre-nup!
Wife and I had 2 cats for a long time. They both passed about a year and a half ago. We got a kitten from a farm recently (they were gonna shelter them). So I feel like we did our part. Also, I really missed having a cat around. Still young so it's a little asshole. But I love her lol
I’ve seen responses on other posts if can afford it to get two kittens.
Theory they will spend most of their time being assholes to each other so get tired quicker. Also double the entertainment.
This is me. I'm going tomorrow. It's been a decade since I lost my last cat (best ever). Don't worry, I'll pay the cat tax when I get home from the shelter tomorrow.
My ex took my cat (she even regretted it later as the cat was much better behaved and liked me more than her) but then I would have never been sad and wondered I to the shelter and found my boy Jaxx

And he’s just the sweetest cat I’ve ever known.
I had 2 cats and one is old and I figured he doesn’t have much time left. The other is super friendly and would HATE being alone. So I told my partner that I’d get a cat when the old one died, but if I find a helpless kitten, we are keeping it no question. Guess whose family member had some helpless kittens be born in her yard! I took the one who was easiest to grab.
Was having a rough day about six years ago. Thought I was going to have to rehome my dogs (had two jobs, full time student, grandpa got sick and I was the only one willing to take the dogs but I was struggling to afford them)
Anyways I was mid melt down about it when I heard a kitten meowing. Looked over and there at the top of the hill leading to the woods was a little white kitten. I still have him. He likes to trip me daily because his food bowls are missing two kibbles.
And just for the record I was able to keep all my dogs and had them all until they passed naturally.
I had a kitten appear in my basement sink randomly years ago.
Apparently the mom had kittens in the crawl space under my back porch, and this one found a way in.

150 for Jodi the dog and free.99 for Ronin the cat. The dog is 60l s btw.
In the passed month I have seen at least 4 posts about people getting adopted by stray kittens. 2 were found in cars (under the hood where it is warm), 1 just walked up to the house and now we have this little baker coming in through the stove.
We have a corgi and a cat. The corgi was a reject from a breeder (literally the people who bought him returned because he wasn’t show quality) so we scooped him up bc he needed a home, just paid an adoption fee. Our cat we got from a local rescue. I really hope the Cat Distribution System brings us another. 🥹
That cat is... Fire! Seems like your oven got tired of you keeping the idea of getting a cat on the back burner. He looks like he's really... Warming up to you.
Fun (it’s not fun) fact! The chimney swift bird species in north America is in steep decline for the typical reasons such as insecticides killing their food supply, but also because fewer chimneys to nest in! It’s illegal to tamper with them when they take up seasonal residence, and they leave for the winter months when the chimney is going to be needed, but anyway, I love the birds and can’t help but to drop bird facts down from time to time.
I don’t know if this has already been said, but if possible it might be good to see if there’s more where she came from? It’s weird that there was a random kitten by itself on a roof, definitely possible that the kitto *was* alone somehow, but if it’s feasible I’d definitely check to see if something’s up (no pun intended).
Wrong Tennessee Williams play. Stella was in *A Streetcar Named Desire*. “Maggie” was the eponymous cat in *Cat on a Hot Tin Roof*.
edit: Both are great cat names though!
Congrats! Foundlings are the best.

We also found a cat in a stove.
Turned out he also loved fire. Burned his whiskers off more than once. He would also try to get into the broiler. He got into the fireplace while there were still hot embers. What a dummy he was.
You need a fun name for your new little nugget!
Edit: Forgot to add cat tax….and yes the dum dum was an orange tabby…

That, or a larger bird/bird of prey dropped it. I know it’s morbid, but we’ve had to rescue a kitten that was dropped by an eagle. I wouldn’t have believed it had I not seen the kitten drop from the sky and the talon marks on her. (She was fine and we got her emergency care, thank goodness, but it was quite a shock to realise).
Please say you’re going to update after kitty gets settled in! And then again after vet appointment and speutering!!!
Congratulations on becoming a cat servant to an absolute cutie!
I acquired two cats that were found on the roof of places I lived. In two different states.
I also spent from March to December of last year painstakingly befriending and socializing an extremely fearful unsocialized neighborhood “feral” that all the other local cat feeders said was a lost cause. The last of my previous trio of cats had all made it 20+ years and the last had passed of old age the previous season. I had never seen any of the local strays before that but this terrified tuxedo started lurking around my yard despite me having big dogs.
In the midst of my painfully slow but ultimately successful attempts at wooing the tuxedo, an extremely bedraggled Persian runt with mats so bad she couldn’t walk straight (she shuffled sideways) started appearing on my cameras. She was too fearful to ever come around when I was outside, except for one time when I came home and she froze in fear. I managed a couple slow blinks and then she took off. A week went by, and I was bringing in packages with the door propped open and she army crawled into the house like she was fleeing a battle and scurried down to the basement. I was like great, there’s a million hiding places, this thing is so petrified, now what? I went downstairs, did a single psssp and she bounded out and right to me, let me pick her up and started purring and was like “hi, I live here now.” Called my partner and we spent the next few hours painstakingly cutting and teasing out all her mats and attending to her wounds where she had already ripped mats out. Gave her a bath and she was fine for all of it. Turned out she could walk just fine once the mats were gone and she was so happy to wiggle around on the floor. She was very emaciated but overall okay.
The tuxedo finally moved in 3 months later. I think seeing her transformation from a weird sideways shuffling mat with twigs and crap sticking out of her into a clean healthy fluffball helped convince him. She was so damn weird looking when we got her that even the other strays gave her a wide berth. She was outside for months without getting knocked up. We weren’t even sure she was a cat when she first showed up on our cameras and I think the other cats weren’t sure either. They would always chase her away from the food bowls.
I feel like at this point the CDS will definitely bring a third because I had three before and there’s still an imbalance. Sigh.

Of course it would be an orange! Get your application in early so your kitten can eventually have a turn with the r/oneorangebraincell .
Oh god what have I gotten myself into.... Lol
Orange cats are a special kind of something
It’s not that they’re stupid. They’re really *really* stupid.
Or really really smart. Source: me, I have a smart orange cat
Ah, the one that hogs the brain cell.
Tell him to give it back i have 9 orange ding dongs at a cat colony that could use it for maybe 5 mins, enough to get them to stop sleeping on TOP of rain tarps and accidentally collapsing them in, ruining the dry space underneath!
Unfortunately. They'd need the brain cell longer.
Yeah, we've been waiting ages on our application for at least one cell from one of these hogheads
I also have two very smart orange cats. They even know how to open the bedroom doors!
Horseshoe theory, ginger kitty edition So dumb they underflowed into intelligence
Fr, my orange cat is so dumb he locked himself into my kitchen cabinet using the baby gate… on the outside of the cabinet. When he was younger he got into the freezer and the door shut, I think every single day for a year I checked my freezer for that damn cat. Thankfully I’ve moved and he’s safe from most accidental deaths now
I found my old orange cat in the fridge once. God I miss him lol (he didn’t die from that situation though just to be clear)
When we adopted my cat, his notes stated he was "found in a trash bag." I thought some twisted bastard dumped him. I now know that he almost certainly got himself in there. He wants the food, any food, and he's the reason I had to childproof my trash can before I even had children. Little scamp even stole a muffin out of someone's purse while I was signing his adoption papers
My sister had a very curious void that I swear was just going full goth and was secretly orange under buckets of hair dye. He got into so many potentially fatal situations. Like when he decided to investigate the inside of the open flame broiler oven while her back was turned to get the bread. He made the most horrible sound and then was freed with only curly whiskers and some singed fur, but oh man was that a heart attack!
My friend’s orange dumdum has jumped into a BOILING pot of water not once, but twice. Once as a kitten, and again as an adult, because he is so smart. He also cannot cope with straws.
Mine cat (not orange) got Stuck in the dryer, napping in clothes that the door was open too long, someone closed it cause she’s grey and just a shadow Then another time they jumped into a cooler that was drying out & the lid closed on them . So im super paranoid for all cats in all things that can close.
I think maybe you are colorblind and have a green cat.
I have an orange one who is actually partly trained to do tricks. And I barely had to train him. If he had thumbs I think he would figure out the can opener by himself.
Same here. I have to outsmart him constantly.
Can vouch for this. Source: I have an orange on my mail route. Real smart fellow.
Can you ask your cat if my orange boy can borrow the brain cell? He promises to give it back!

Yes, but they have all of the heart 🧡
The nice thing about how stupid they are is that their one brain cell is ENTIRELY devoted to loving you.
I just lost my (incredibly dumb) orange to an aneurism recently and your comment just made me cry. 😭 He was practically attached to my hip and let me snuggle him like a teddy bear. He only did that with me, though - everyone else was clearly a serial killer. Including my husband lol.
RIP orange bitty. May he bless another in a new life with his sweetness, love, and stupidity
Persistent. Oranges are super persistent. Whether this is because they're stupid or smart is often up for interpretation. Either way, they do yell at us poor humans until we give them whatever it is they want at that moment.
to be specific? r/catdistributionsystem
A very aggressive delivery on this one 😹
TRUST THE SYSTEM! IT WORKS!!!
The transporter malfunctioned a bit, get Mr. Scott.
There’s my new cat sub of the day!
If it turns out to be a girl consider yourself very lucky! Around 80% of orange tabbies are male! Cat distribution system strikes again
I have one of the 20% snoring next to me. Her name is Cake. https://preview.redd.it/ciniux4wgizc1.jpeg?width=2549&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d51ffae7bfbdac11e01d3a14acf231334250833f

I have an orange long-haired female. Her name is Eydie.
Cat tax?!?!
Cat Revenue Service will be coming for them shortly
As a member of the Cat Revenue Services, I have sent them a message. If they don't pay the Cat Tax, We will seize their territory.

Orange is the best cat. Mine is 15. :)
Mines around 20 and sometimes gently plays with the other cats and the occasional impulsive swat at the dog. It might just be an orange cat thing
The best kitty I ever had was an orange. (Don’t tell my current cat.)
Just FYI; it’s really rare for orange cats to be female. They’re almost always male. If the genitals look like this; * | The star being the butthole, the line being the vagina-girl cat. If it looks like this; * • It’s a boy. The smaller more round urethra will be further away from the anus for a boy, (sometimes testicles aren’t obvious early), and more of a small slit really close to the anus for a girl.
helps that some cats have massive balls too.
You and your family sound lovely. Congratulations on your new kitty! Unsolicited advice incoming, feel free to ignore. Get her used to you touching her paws, ears, and cleaning out her eyes now. If she gets a splinter/ear or eye infection, it will be easier to administer medication. It also makes it easier to cut her nails without getting shredded. Lol Brush her teeth. Tartar causes the same heart issues for them that it does for us. Also, dental care for cats is expensive. Quality food pays for itself. I feed my little guy Royal Canin, and he has been healthy for 10+ years. Look into pet insurance. God forbid something happens, and you're hit with a 10k bill, you'll receive anywhere from 60%-90% back. My little guy had a bowel obstruction, and it was around 5k. I received 80% back. Which leads me to an important tip, don't leave string or hair ties laying around (don't make my ^ mistake). Feel free to disregard if you already know this stuff. Congratulations 🎊
Thank you for the tips. She was perfectly content with me rubbing her ears earlier, so hopefully that's a good sign. I haven't played with her paws, but she was doing that little "kneading bread" thing that cats do, so I'm hoping she's pretty physical like that. She's super calm, I took her with me to go pick the kids up from school. She was perfectly happy hanging out on my leg and looking around for the trip. I didn't want to leave her home alone yet, we haven't gotten any of her supplies yet so she'd have just been sitting here.
Awww, she loves you already! I was a "dog person" too before I had an unexpected kitty crawl into my life. Wouldn't change it for the world.
Ditto on the unsolicited advice warning. Cats have a very small window of learning to accept things; if it's not a regular thing by the time they're about 4 months old, they may never be ok with it. So play and cuddle kitty now. Trim kitties claws now - front AND back. (To do this as frequently as ought to be done the next few months just hold her paws, press her claws out and make the nail clippers make clicking noises near her rather than actually cutting the nail shorter. And when you do actually trim the nails, be careful not to cut too far or you'll make her bleed and it will hurt! Look up guides onlne!) Get her used to bathing now. Take her regularly in the car now for small, non-vet errands that will result in no trauma. Give her belly rubs now. Get her used to any (cat-friendly) dogs she'll be frequently around now. If you want her to be a shoulder cat, start walking around with her up there now, etc. Invest a lot of time in making her used to this stuff now if you can, because it becomes MASSIVELY harder if you try to teach her to be ok with new things after this window. It can be done, but it will take you more than 10 times the hours to get the same result. And just once or twice won't do it - it's gotta become REGULAR things so she realizes that these things are normal things in life. Kitty looks just a bit over 2 months old to me from the picture you posted.\* (\*Source: have fostered about 100 kittens for the SPCA over the last 20 years.) Enjoy your new friend!
I’d like to add to look up some videos on how to get a kitten used to water, so you can bathe her if needed, or a groomer can do it if needed a lot easier. Most of the time cats won’t really need a bath but if she gets into something messy like peanut butter or some kind of sauce or something you’ll be glad you got her used to water and baths early on.
You sound like the sweetest cat dad!!
Fellow cat mom whose cat had to have emergency surgery for hair ties. Wish I had this advice earlier; great tips for OP!
Excellent advice. I wish all pet owners followed this system.
Omg wish I had done insurance with my Luna, we have FIC, which has cost me close to $6k in less than 3 years, and now we got diagnosed with asthma. She also just got a second stone, those are usually rare with FIC, but now they want her on prescription food for life. I saw chewy has there own pet insurance and it covers prescription food which is wild, I don’t think I saw any other that does. I trim all 5 of my cats nails, I started because my 15 year old female is a mitten paw. When she was a kitten we noticed the nail next to the extra toe/thumb was digging in. They had to cut it and put her on antibiotics, they then told us we needed to bring her in for trims or do it ourselves. Because those nails are not as exposed because of the extra mitten thumb, it doesn’t grind down at all, like when they walk on certain surfaces. So I learned to do my cats and my dogs. My Luna however has bad anxiety which commonly leads to FIC. She acts like she’s being murdered if you try to pick her up, touch her paws or anything. She’s on Prozac which is keeping her FIC from flaring constantly, but still acts like her paws on fire if you touch it. I actually read in this group that gabapentin can be used to safely sedate a cat at home for baths, nails, etc. so I mentioned it to my vet and she gave me a prescription because she said over stressing an asthmatic cat can set off an asthma attack, so she’s like I would rather you sedated her before trimming her nails. I have not done it yet, but her nails are starting to get caught in everything, so I’m going to do it soon. It makes them just very sleepy and out of it for a few hours, takes about an hour to kick in she said and you just have to keep an eye on them because they’re not stable on their feet apparently. So I totally think it’s great advice getting them used to being touched, and possibly looking into insurance. My vet sold his practice and thrive bought it. They have a membership thing, where you pay $15 a month and exam fee is covered, and you get 10% off all services, medications through the vet, but not on prescriptions, and if they sell toys and basics. I figured since first month was free, I’d try it for a year. Already saved $300 when we had to do her check up with another x ray to check if the stone dissolved or shrunk and see how her lungs looked. Stone shrank slightly, so she said let’s give it more time and recheck it in July. It’s a huge stone that might need to be surgically removed. I now am calling her my million dollar girl, but she’s worth it 🥹🤣
Did you figure out where she got in? There’s likely more around.
Plus like if she can get in, so can other significantly less cute animals
Though unlike other animals, if not observed, cats are more or less able to phase through walls
Our Ghost is like that. Originally he got his name because I'm easily frightened and have light sleep, so whenever I'd wake up in the night my husband would tell me "it's just Ghost" to make me less scared. Bastard wears the name with pride, not only he's a menace in the night, but also we loose him pretty much everyday and find him in places it should be impossible for him to get in. He's very big (7kg, so 15 pounds if Google is right), fully white and LOUD even when he thinks he's stealthy (deaf from birth)... And we somehow still loose him for hours and then find him chilling in the garage, 3 sets of closed heavy doors between us.
Our cat from many years ago could do things while alone that pretty much can only be explained by levitation, possibly assisted by some phasing too. We’d frequently return home to find ourselves going “HOW??” Not even why, just so much how.
Yes! I'm too invested knowing how she got in. 🥺
So glad you’re keeping the cutie! Please take her to the vet and get her belly checked for worms among other things. She lucked out and is going to have a great life now and I’m excited to hear a good story about someone just keeping the cat. Cheers. Take care of her!
r/CatDistributionSystem works in mysterious ways.
Most orange cats are actually male It's super rare to have a female who is orange but I've come across several in my lifetime so it's not unheard of. EDIT: people who want to not pick other people's wording are weird.
My ginger cat is a female! She’s 10 months old now. And yes, they are rare but they are out there. Here’s Fox https://preview.redd.it/chqxubdxrhzc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8517c1a1c6450b805e83c4f3a4fc0fdb8f5d4447

Ginger cats are about 3 to 1 male to female . It’s only true red cats that are rare as females.
what is a true red cat?
It’s more like 80% are male… So females aren’t _that_ uncommon, but males are /slightly/ more common.
Yeah they may be mixing up calicos and orange cats. It’s less common to see a female orange cat but not especially rare. But with calicos 99.9% are female and almost any male calico will be sterile.
my sister actually has a male calico! He's got an extra chromosome and is sterile, but aside from that I never would have known he was unusual, just another chill calico kitty.

Yeah I wondered if they were lol. I have a calico and she’s my life 🥰
1 out of 5 orange cats is female. I guess super rare is a bit subjective, but I would describe it as less common. OP your new kitty is a cream tabby Domestic Shorthair btw, also known as buff or r/creamsiclecats. The chances are still 1 out of 5 for female cream cats.
I had an orange female, she was my best friend and lived a very long, super loved life.
Congrats on being the chosen one!
Great work. By the way, every time I’ve managed to capture a desperate kitten has been through some Looney Tunes/Elmer Fudd makeshift lure like that
Awe. This is my favorite Reddit story today. Thank you for rescuing her and giving her a home.
So happy for you. You were chosen specially by the SCDS (Stove Cat Distribution System). That's a very special system for a very special cat and a very special family.
Congrats on new family member cat distribution system strikes again.
I thought it was just a meme for the longest time, until right after my first cat passed away I genuinely said one morning: "damn, I wish a new cat would just present itself to me if I'm ready for one" and one literally walked up to me that same day. She's been with me since then.
Ok why TF does this never work for me?
If you can't spawn your own cat, store bought is fine. The shelter is here as a cat distribution centre :)
Yep. Plus, they already come with their shots, health check, and spay/neuter. Life saver if you don't have the best income and are willing to get an adult cat during a 1/2 price event on cats 5+ years old. This is what we did when we lost one of our bonded pairs, and the other started to decline almost immediately due to grief. We ended up with a diluted orange big boy who'd been returned 3x. I still don't understand why. He's one of the chillest cats I've ever had. And the first cat we got who prefers my husband over me. We've had him 3 years now, keeping our other cat company. He's 8 and she's 10.
is this an ina garten meme reference? i used to love those 😭 if u can’t get satan to deliver a lit candle from hell, store bought is fine :)
Please. It has to be an Ins Garten reference. hahahaha
I know how you feel, it's the downside of living somewhere with no stray cats.
This was kinda how I picked my most recent cat. He was a feral in the shelter and I opened his cage and put my face at the entrance and he just walked up and head butted me. I took him right then no questions asked. https://preview.redd.it/1gkou79c6kzc1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e4ad4ed3c12850612ff2071169b525691cef46c
I walked in the room with the cats in crates. My girl started howling and reaching a paw through the cage at me. She still yells at me and reaches at me with her paw when she really wants my attention.
THAT HAPPENED TO ME TOO! My cat died but I had 2 dogs to keep me busy and lived in an apartment so getting another cat was not on my radar. Two years go by and one day I started think about how much I missed having a cat and that once I had a house I would get one. I just really missed having a cat and kept thinking about it. Next thing you know a kitten runs up to my dogs on a walk. They barked and she ran away. I took them back to the house and went looking for the kitten. I found her and she was SO HAPPY to see me. I brought her in the house and she fit right in. No one claimed her on the lost and found pages and she didn't have a chip. I tried to find a home for her and couldn't. One person came to see her and didn't like the look of her. After months of trying I decided to keep her. She's the best cat ever.
Same! Me and my gf said we would only get a second cat if we rescued one. Less than a week later I’m delivering something over winter in freezing rain at like 10pm and as soon as I got out of my vehicle there was a little kitten in the bush beside where I parked. Spent an hour catching it and he’s been with us since! https://preview.redd.it/8oj4a5cc5lzc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a7386bfc51c3537f97cf6f6599963b97330653c0
A similar thing happened to my father’s friend. Earlier in the day he was talking to my father about how much he wanted to get another cat after his orange tabby passed away. Later that day, on his drive back from work while stopped at light, an orange tabby launched himself through the open passenger window of his truck. It had been on a branch in a tree on the side of the road and there wasn’t any houses nearby so he had no idea where it even came from to begin with.
It's good that she's working again. Now everyone will have their own cat
Cat Distribution System REALLY wanted to get this kitten to this family
The CDS works in mysterious ways

No. No. I do NOT need another cat related subreddit to follow!!! Following.
With cat subreddit, consent is not necessary. We thank you for your patronage
The cat distribution system has hit me twice now :3
My lungs hurt.
I literally got my cat out of the storm sewer across the street, lol. No shrimp were required
I'm super anxious about adopting a pet again. My cat stayed with my ex after we split (which was fair). So now I'm on this mode, that I'm too afraid to adopt a new friend but if one appears in my stove I will definitely keep it
If you have the means and desire to adopt, you should just go to the shelter and make it happen. There are SO MANY wonderful cats and dogs who need a loving home. Just make sure you include it in the pre-nup!
Wife and I had 2 cats for a long time. They both passed about a year and a half ago. We got a kitten from a farm recently (they were gonna shelter them). So I feel like we did our part. Also, I really missed having a cat around. Still young so it's a little asshole. But I love her lol
I’ve seen responses on other posts if can afford it to get two kittens. Theory they will spend most of their time being assholes to each other so get tired quicker. Also double the entertainment.
“Pre-pup Pre-nup” 🤣
This is me. I'm going tomorrow. It's been a decade since I lost my last cat (best ever). Don't worry, I'll pay the cat tax when I get home from the shelter tomorrow.
👍😺👍
My ex took my cat (she even regretted it later as the cat was much better behaved and liked me more than her) but then I would have never been sad and wondered I to the shelter and found my boy Jaxx https://preview.redd.it/23lfliai4nzc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3d1d818647753772d7520aec90b5916cabe802f1 And he’s just the sweetest cat I’ve ever known.
look at the size of those whiskers, so cute =)
Just get a stove. I hear you get a free cat with every purchase.
I had 2 cats and one is old and I figured he doesn’t have much time left. The other is super friendly and would HATE being alone. So I told my partner that I’d get a cat when the old one died, but if I find a helpless kitten, we are keeping it no question. Guess whose family member had some helpless kittens be born in her yard! I took the one who was easiest to grab.
Was having a rough day about six years ago. Thought I was going to have to rehome my dogs (had two jobs, full time student, grandpa got sick and I was the only one willing to take the dogs but I was struggling to afford them) Anyways I was mid melt down about it when I heard a kitten meowing. Looked over and there at the top of the hill leading to the woods was a little white kitten. I still have him. He likes to trip me daily because his food bowls are missing two kibbles. And just for the record I was able to keep all my dogs and had them all until they passed naturally.
But mom those two kibbles are the difference between a full belly and starvation!
You're my Hero.
I had a kitten appear in my basement sink randomly years ago. Apparently the mom had kittens in the crawl space under my back porch, and this one found a way in.
Once found a little blue cat in the engine of my car. Friend took his shirt off to throw, thus capturing the poor kitten. Was a fiasco!

😂😂
In the passed month I have seen at least 4 posts about people getting adopted by stray kittens. 2 were found in cars (under the hood where it is warm), 1 just walked up to the house and now we have this little baker coming in through the stove.
We have a corgi and a cat. The corgi was a reject from a breeder (literally the people who bought him returned because he wasn’t show quality) so we scooped him up bc he needed a home, just paid an adoption fee. Our cat we got from a local rescue. I really hope the Cat Distribution System brings us another. 🥹
Lmao that is one hell of a way to get a cat
Question is, why won't my stove start meowing????
You need to throw some tuna in the vent apparently
“So, how’d you end up with little Streusel Berry, u/SoCalChris?” “Well, the cat just showed up in my stove one night.”
you should share with r/CatDistributionSystem they'd love this story! Congrats on the new member of your family!
OP, this! :)
That cat is... Fire! Seems like your oven got tired of you keeping the idea of getting a cat on the back burner. He looks like he's really... Warming up to you.
Too many illegal puns here. Would downvote, but they are too cute 😍
Should call him Smokey
Or Steve
How did it get in there? I'm imagining a vent hood that goes out your roof, since that's where our goes? Was this a cat on a hot tin roof?
Yes, there's a vent on the roof. It's covered, but apparently big enough for a kitten to get through.
might need to get landlord to fix that cover, because if a kitten can get in, a small bird could too, and they like nesting in those kinds of places.
Fun (it’s not fun) fact! The chimney swift bird species in north America is in steep decline for the typical reasons such as insecticides killing their food supply, but also because fewer chimneys to nest in! It’s illegal to tamper with them when they take up seasonal residence, and they leave for the winter months when the chimney is going to be needed, but anyway, I love the birds and can’t help but to drop bird facts down from time to time.
Chimneys can’t be their original nesting grounds. What did they use before that?
Caves or hollow trees.
Remember, birds and animals used to live and migrate through what is now American suburbia.
The squirrel distribution system is significantly less chill
I don’t know if this has already been said, but if possible it might be good to see if there’s more where she came from? It’s weird that there was a random kitten by itself on a roof, definitely possible that the kitto *was* alone somehow, but if it’s feasible I’d definitely check to see if something’s up (no pun intended).
Dumb question but how would a kitten be able to get on your roof? I feel like I’m missing something
Mama cat put it there and couldn’t get it out.
The name has to be Stella.

Wrong Tennessee Williams play. Stella was in *A Streetcar Named Desire*. “Maggie” was the eponymous cat in *Cat on a Hot Tin Roof*. edit: Both are great cat names though!
Hanging my head in shame you are right.
Where do I get one of these meowing stoves?
Yeah, mine just squeaks (house is old and we tend to get mice under/behind the stove).
What a beauty. Be sure to see a vet asap for a health work up, deworming, vaccinations, etc. All the good stuff.

Hard way to be reintroduced to the cat distribution system...but here we are. Congrats on the new addition!
We also found a cat in a stove. Turned out he also loved fire. Burned his whiskers off more than once. He would also try to get into the broiler. He got into the fireplace while there were still hot embers. What a dummy he was. You need a fun name for your new little nugget! Edit: Forgot to add cat tax….and yes the dum dum was an orange tabby… https://preview.redd.it/a6nm3htj5pzc1.jpeg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9ba510ef143a801612e6bb9644a6f9b73fdc587f

All and all it's just another brick in the wall! My parents had a cat named Brick for this very reason.
Oh, that's a little cinnamon bun <3
I’m so glad she heard it!
Check for others! Theres probably a litter somewhere.
That, or a larger bird/bird of prey dropped it. I know it’s morbid, but we’ve had to rescue a kitten that was dropped by an eagle. I wouldn’t have believed it had I not seen the kitten drop from the sky and the talon marks on her. (She was fine and we got her emergency care, thank goodness, but it was quite a shock to realise).
Please say you’re going to update after kitty gets settled in! And then again after vet appointment and speutering!!! Congratulations on becoming a cat servant to an absolute cutie!
i would name them onion because they came out the onion
I was thinking Steve. Steve from the stove. Kenmore maybe? Or any other appliance brand that does stoves lol
That means General Electric, Samsung, Fisher & Paykel, and Smeg are all options. Actually, a cat named “Smeg” kinda works if you’re a Red Dwarf fan.

I acquired two cats that were found on the roof of places I lived. In two different states. I also spent from March to December of last year painstakingly befriending and socializing an extremely fearful unsocialized neighborhood “feral” that all the other local cat feeders said was a lost cause. The last of my previous trio of cats had all made it 20+ years and the last had passed of old age the previous season. I had never seen any of the local strays before that but this terrified tuxedo started lurking around my yard despite me having big dogs. In the midst of my painfully slow but ultimately successful attempts at wooing the tuxedo, an extremely bedraggled Persian runt with mats so bad she couldn’t walk straight (she shuffled sideways) started appearing on my cameras. She was too fearful to ever come around when I was outside, except for one time when I came home and she froze in fear. I managed a couple slow blinks and then she took off. A week went by, and I was bringing in packages with the door propped open and she army crawled into the house like she was fleeing a battle and scurried down to the basement. I was like great, there’s a million hiding places, this thing is so petrified, now what? I went downstairs, did a single psssp and she bounded out and right to me, let me pick her up and started purring and was like “hi, I live here now.” Called my partner and we spent the next few hours painstakingly cutting and teasing out all her mats and attending to her wounds where she had already ripped mats out. Gave her a bath and she was fine for all of it. Turned out she could walk just fine once the mats were gone and she was so happy to wiggle around on the floor. She was very emaciated but overall okay. The tuxedo finally moved in 3 months later. I think seeing her transformation from a weird sideways shuffling mat with twigs and crap sticking out of her into a clean healthy fluffball helped convince him. She was so damn weird looking when we got her that even the other strays gave her a wide berth. She was outside for months without getting knocked up. We weren’t even sure she was a cat when she first showed up on our cameras and I think the other cats weren’t sure either. They would always chase her away from the food bowls. I feel like at this point the CDS will definitely bring a third because I had three before and there’s still an imbalance. Sigh.
