The Cat Distribution System is a phrase coined by TikToker @hermes.the.cynic to describe the common occurrence of cats entering peoples homes and lives unannounced and inadvertently getting adopted. This cliché is an often-discussed aspect of cat ownership, and adds to the narrative that you dont adopt a cat, but rather, it adopts you. The phrase grew popular near the end of 2022 and continued to be used through January 2023. The Universal Cat Distribution System is a concept that explains how cats or kittens just randomly appear in your life, and sometimes you dont adopt a cat; rather, a cat adopts you. Its like the universes way of pairing up cats and humans. The phenomenon occurs when the universe distributes kittens to people for seemingly no reason at all. The cat distribution system suggests that cats have a knack for finding the right people to provide them with love, care, and a forever home. Many people have taken to TikTok to explain their own experience with the cat distribution system working for them.
