'The universe had other ideas': They bought their dream house, but it was the cat who came back to it that made it truly feel like home

Talk about purrfect timing! One year ago, this proud new homeowner was just settling in with two kids and a promise. Once the budget bounced back, they'd adopt a cat. But the universe clearly didn't want to wait. One night, a determined feline showed up at their door, meowing like she already had the keys. Within seconds, she'd claimed the house, leaping from counters to cabinets like a fuzzy parkour champion.

Turns out, Angel (as she's now lovingly called) had been abandoned by the home's previous owner and she stuck around waiting for her real family to move in. She may have started as a stowaway, but now she's the queen of the castle, complete with her own bed on the cabinets and two kitten sidekicks to rule alongside her.

From stray to spoiled, this is one glow-up story for the hiss-tory books. Sometimes you don't choose the cat. The cat chooses you (and your mortgage).

Obviously, it’s the cat’s house. You’re just the hooman help. She let you move in, pays rent in purrs, and graciously allows you to use her furniture.

Sounds like you both won the lottery! You got a new furry family member, and she scored the best kind of jackpot with a loving home and humans who actually care.

An angel for Angel. It’s like destiny in fur form. She found the right home, and you found the sweetest little blessing with whiskers. Truly a heavenly match.
