Disoriented cat whose head is wrapped up in tape appears on neighbor's deck, only for them to repeatedly shoo him away with a broom, the next-door neighbor sees this, takes meowtters into their own hands, and saves the cat

The CDS never gets things wrong. Sometimes, a delivery accidentally gets sent to the wrong address.

The cat distribution system is something that we wholeheartedly believe in. We didn't at first, when we came across the idea for the first time. It seemed silly to think that cats choose their humans rather than the other way around. But we have come to understand that it's true. It's the only thing that explains all of the strange happenings in the cat adoption world. Why would a dad who hates cats instantly fall in love with the kitten that his kids brought home? Why would a person who got handed a kitten at a drive-through simply be okay with it and take it home? Why would the first thing that the guy who had a kitten fly through its window right into his lap do is ask where to get pet supplies? All for the same reason – the cats were meant to be there.

Sometimes, as is clear by now, the delivery process can be a little strange. You never know when or how a cat is going to find you. We certainly don't think that the person who shared today's story on r/cats had any idea that the cat they saw on their neighbor's porch would end up theirs. The kitty's face was covered in tape. We don't know how – if it was an accident or if someone did something cruel to the cat. We just know this cat first appeared on the neighbor's porch, but that was clearly not where he was supposed to head. Can't blame him for making a mistake. He literally couldn't see properly. It's okay, though. The system, as always, has a way of correcting itself, and Scotch (named after the tape, of course) ended up finding his way to his forever home just fine.
