The ‘cat distribution system’ is an internet meme that humorously suggests that cats, especially strays, are delivered to people by some unseen force whenever they need a cat in their life. The meme plays on the common experience of cats seemingly showing up at random, adopting humans without warning, or wandering into places where people weren’t expecting them, almost as if there’s a hidden, magical system in place distributing them. It often references how people find cats in unlikely places (on their doorstep, in their yard, under their car) or how people with no intention of getting a cat somehow end up with one. The concept gives the impression that there’s a larger, cosmic plan where the ‘cat distribution system’ matches cats with the right humans at the right time.
