    'We didn't feel ready yet': 6 months after senior cats cross rainbow bridge grieving woman finds lovable orange cat, only to find out she's pregnant

    Everyone, meet Daisy. 

    Here's how the story goes: a woman is at a dentist office when a lovable orange cat walks in. In Reddit's r/CatDistributionSystem the backstory is that the woman had two senior cats who crossed the rainbow bridge within 6 weeks of each other, so she wasn't exactly feeling ready to adopt another cat. But when this orange cat came up and no one wanted it, she had only one choice. None of the staff wanted her, and she posted in chats to see if anyone would take her. She wasn't looking for a cat, but decided to adopt her. It took 3 different messages from people to make her decide that she wants to adopt the cat, but on that third message she said yes. It was a mixture of feelings since she was still grieving, but in the end she is happy about her decision. The orange girl has brought her so much joy. 

    Spoiler: she didn't know until she took the orange cat to the vet but the cat is pregnant! There are two kittens in her belly, and now she knows she can't be a mother of 3 cats, so she says she'll have to beg friends to take her. "Maybe the universe is trying to tell me something," is right. She named the cat Daisy, and the story is so sweet. Enjoy everything below.

      When we brought her to our vet, she said she thinks she's at least 6 weeks pregnant, probably more so it won't be much longer.

    • I love orange cats. If I were to get another cat I would definitely get an orange cat because they're just so adorable. I love that they're supposed to be more mischievous than other cats. But honestly? I love my cat so much. He's stripped and a bit chubby. I always say that he has a kitten face, lion paws, and a tiny head but big ears. I don't care that he's overweight, I think his body is beautiful. I love that he yells his little meows at me and thinks he runs the home. Our favorite thing to do together is watch Anime. Right now I'm watching Nana and loving it. It's about two girls who are both named Nana. Though they're different in many ways, they really have a soul connection.
