What dimension do I need to travel to where cats just fall out of the ceiling? I had to fill out paperwork and adopt my cats just like any other animal.
We found a kitten in our garage wedged behind some cabinets that required us to half dismantle the garage. Would have preferred he fell through the ceiling. He’s wonderful.
There is an example from the x-post on !comics@lemmy.ml:
This hits home. I have a kitten on my lap right now that my daughter found on the side of the road yesterday… we think she’s about 6-8 weeks old. (…)
EDIT: And another one:
Totally true lmao. Its how I got my cat Chevy. He was found as a kitten by my Uncle on the tire of my Grandfathers Chevy. Years later the same Uncle found another kitten on the axle of his car, he named it Axle. He also named Chevy. He is definitely creative with naming cats.
Lol that’s me. We already have 6 formally stray cats, this little girl makes number 7. Gimme a few minutes and I’ll toss up a pic of the little furball.

My daughter picked up a kitten yesterday off the side of a gravel road that looks like she got dumped there. There’s also two families of strays near my house that I’ve been working on becoming friends with… they won’t all let me pet them yet, but we’re working on it.
Go to the countryside, cats are everywhere out here. (This is in Canada, but I’m sure it’s the same in a lot of places.)
I guess it heavily depends on where you live. Where I live there are zero stray cats just wandering the streets. The shelter I got one of my cats from actually did have a ton of former strays, which really surprised me, but that shelter is smack dab in the middle of a pretty rural area and there you’ll have some. But definitely not in the cities.
