If you've never heard of the Cat Distribution System (CDS), there's a good chance you're either not a cat owner or you acquired your feline in a perfectly normal way—like adopting from a shelter or taking in a kitten from a friend. And while that’s a totally valid way to gain cat parent status, some people are chosen by the CDS instead.
Is the Cat Distribution System real? Only cats know for sure. They also run the whole operation, which means the rules are unpredictable. One day, you might wake up to find an unfamiliar cat in your house with no clue how it got in. Or, like this delivery driver, you might be ambushed.
The Moment CDS Took Over
While out picking up orders, a driver was about to get back into his car when a cat launched itself onto his leg and refused to let go. Thanks to his dash cam, we have undeniable proof of CDS in action. His mom saw the footage too, and now more than 2.8 million people have watched the moment unfold on TikTok.
At first, when the driver asked his mom if he could keep the cat, she said no. But then she saw the video—the cat aggressively and desperately selecting her son as its new human—and, well, the decision was no longer up to them.
Once the cat realized she had made the right choice, she curled up on her new dad’s lap as he drove her home.
Welcome to the Cat People Club
“We are not cat people,” read the text overlay in the video. “My youngest son was out making deliveries last night. A cat kept following him. Then jumped on his leg and would not let go.”
I have news for you, Mom: you're cat people now. That’s how the Cat Distribution System works. Its recruits specialize in converting unsuspecting non-cat people into full-fledged cat lovers—one determined feline at a time.
And if you’re wondering—yes, they kept the cat. Her name is Venus. Because once the CDS assigns you a cat, resistance is futile.
