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.
even in adoption, cats manage to be the most adorable shitheads in the world
There is an example from the x-post on [email protected]:
EDIT: And another one:
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.

A few places have so many stray cats that if you want one you can go outside and grab one (after checking it for a collar or chip). That's what this comic is referencing.
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.)
A lot of people find them as strays. I've never had to adopt any of my cats, they all just showed up in my life at some point lol.
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.
Not quite out the roof, but I had on cat that climbed into my apartment and now it lived there (I did check if someone owned it).
Ceiling cats are pretty rare but if you live in a populated area, keep an eye on the trash. I found a Li Hua kitten in my dumpster and I have three friends who are raising their own dumpster kitties. Seems pretty common in major cities and suburbs.
