Other letters of the alphabet

Cat sitting is a difficult job, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. It's a difficult job when things are normal, without even talking about the crazy cases. The cat might not like their sitter and be as much of a hooligan as pawssible during. The cat owners might leave elaborate instructions for their cat sitters, with rules about every little detail that yes, they will expect you to follow. And of course, there are the cray cases, like when the cat owner accuses their cat sitter of bonding with their cat too much and demand the sitter take their cat to therapy. Yes, that has happened. 

So, really, there is no reason to make things more difficult than they already are for your cat sitter. There's just not. It's only polite to tell your cat sitter if you are going to be twenty minutes late to bringing your cat beforehand, and not after twenty minutes of standing them up and making them wait.

"How many Lowe's employees does it take to get a kitten out of a pallet of dirt?"

That's the question a Lowe's employee posed in r/CatDistributionSystem on Reddit. When you least expect it, the CDS comes to play, full force, waiting for the next willing purrson to fall victim to the cute cats of the streets. Sometimes, they might be in your car engine. Other times, they'll waltz up to your front porch and sploot down outside your window until you break down and let them in for some cuddles. Even at the most inconvenient of times, cats will find their way to you, and then to your heart. Can you blame them? All they're looking for is a pawrent who will give them the life they deserve!

The Lowe's employee in this next story explains that it took five employees, not including her mother and a tin can of tuna, to coax a pawdorable tabby kitten she found out of a pallet of dirt as she was watering the store's plants. Later named "Dirt," the tabby put up one good fight, but they were no match for the Lowe's employees who could. Scroll below to read the full story and see photos of the rescue in action!

Purrsonally, we understand the desire to help every cat you meet. It's something instinctual in us. We see a cat on the street and we are swept up by the urge to take them home, feed them some tuna, and teach them to snuggle. However, not every cat needs saving, despite how they may look on the outside. Some cats have a pawsitively enjoyable neighborhood life, with one main family and several side-families that feed them, love them, and house them. You might be surprised how common it is for a cat to have multiple families.

So, when the cat lover in this post wrote about how she wanted to save this cat from a life outside, we get it. However, she goes on to say that the cat is clean and well-cared for, so at what point does she need to convince herself that she's not actually saving the cat, but stealing it? We'll leave it to you to find out what happens in the end, but let's just say that everyone gets a purrfectly happy ending!
