CATS

The cat distribution system isn’t just a meme. It’s a phenomenon

Gen Z cat lovers don’t just believe in the cat distribution system − they spread the message via memes and T-shirts.

Stories of the so-called cat distribution system seem to propel the phenomenon forward: When the universe presents you with a stray cat, many people opt to take the furry creature in, foster or permanently adopt it, and the rest is happily ever after. Lore surrounding the ‘system’ is what turns many a pet-free household into a warm, safe, loving forever home for stray cats and orphaned kittens across the country.

“I never would have known how much I loved cats until a cat forced itself into my life,” Tina Fried, the senior director of ASPCA’s Los Angeles Felines Programs told USA TODAY. “The cat distribution system is a way for cats to make their mark and let people know how awesome they are.”
