where did you get your cat?

Haha this made me laugh as I have got a reputation for taking in the waifs and strays, although I am trying to toughen up.
We had a cat that used to come into our old flat everyday, and I gave it a collar and named it Scrounger. He used to settle in for the night and moved with us. We then gained another cat called Porkie. He was a one eyed cat and was getting on. He belonged to my neighbours who were moving so I took him in. Unfortunately both cats have since passed away due to old age but lived happy and long lives.
Now I have 2 cats. Patch belonged to a parent at the nursery I work in. She had 2 cats and also was moving and they couldn't take cats with them. Other staff had said to ask me so I took in Patch and Moo Moo. Moo Moo decided he preferred to live with a family round the corner, so I let him go and Patch is still with us. She used to be a very nervous and jumpy cat, but now she has built up her confidence and has turned out to be a cool but crazy cat. Our other cat Cuddles used to be my mums. She got to the stage where she was worried about falling on the cat, due to ill health, so Cuddles came to stay with me. My mum has since passed away, and the cat is still with us. She is getting on herself though as she was born when I was 15 so that is 21 years ago. I never thought she would outlive my mum but she proved us all wrong.

My little angel came from the local PetSmart's adoption window. I'd grown up with cats my whole life until I got married, and then I went 3 years without one, because apartment living wasn't always cat-friendly. When we bought our house, we got it ready for a cat and went looking. The first place we stopped was the right one, because there he was. He was just the friendliest thing, and he loved my hubby right away! (Which was important to me, because I didn't want either of them unhappy). We are nearing 1 year with Hudson, and he's taken over our hearts and the house (and the bed, and the chairs, and the sofas, and half the stuffed animals..)

I had wanted to give a home to a cat that really needed it, and in return I found a friend and constant companion!

ive got 3 cats now. 2 guys was given to me by my cousin. half siamese half strained cat. the other one a girl is my adopted cat daughter. my adopted cat died while in laboara for her second pregnancy. died with her second children still inside her womb.

We got out cat Kit from our cabin. My parents went out there one weekend and they heard something under the cabana. It turned out that it was little kitten. They brought her in and gave her some sardines and some milk. As that was all they had out there. Her stomach was so caved in that when they brought her home it took about 2 weeks before her stomach calmed down and she could actually eat without vomiting.

At my other house my fiances sister moved away and left us with all her cats. We have since had babies with one of them and they are just the farm/barn cats that come up once in awhile for some lovin and a little treat.

I rented a house and couldn't have any pets but cats. My friend got another cat from the shelter and it didn't get along with the other animals in her house so she gave her to me. I've had her for eleven years now and she was my first cat ever.

You name it, I've probably got a story for it.

I got Oliver when the neighbor of my roomie's folks came over with this tiny black and white ratty looking thing in her hand. "We found this kitten," she said.

I held out my hands, and took him right to a pet store for some KMR and a bottle to feed him with.

I got Rygel when I followed his mom back to her apartment and knocked. The couple there told me she had 4 kittens, and they were tired of her. They brought the kittens to the door.

I said: "I'll take them."

"Which one?" they asked. "All of them, I'll find homes for them." And I did, except Rygel, he was just so cool and when he helped us with Oliver we couldn't send him away.

Those are the 2 cats in my avatar, Oliver is the little one - tho he's all grown up now.

I've never gotten a cat from a breeder, there's too many that need homes from people are too irresponsible to fix their cats.

I love my cats, but I do think I have a few too many....

you got a lovely ruby there.

i have two cats. my 2nd cat was adopted. his mum died when hit by a car and he was only 3 weeks old then. he is now 4 months old. he eats a lot and getting bigger everyday. i have to spend $10 a month for his food.but he is worth all the spending. he makes me happy and the joy he is bringing that is really something

I normally get my cats from a local no-kill cat foster program, Cat Connection. I've picked out three cats from there. Currently, we have Mully and Mabel, and they are spoiled rotten tabbies. They are supposed to be sisters, but they are so different in temperament! One is a princess, the other acts like a dog. I love my cats, too...and I'm glad I can help those who are homeless.

i got my cat near my colleges gate ... i took it to home .. and give her a name ... Chintu .... and make that cat my friend ...=]

Awwww! Your Ruby is sweet! I love her coloring. She has the exact same coloring of our middle cat TJ ... he's 5 years old and was adopted at the Humane Society pet store when he was 3 months old. I named him TJ for Tanner Jr. after I lost my beloved orange striped tabby, Tanner. Lucky, our youngest kitten is 13 months old. She was found on 07-07-07 at my husband's parking deck at work ... she was only one month old and very sick ... we took her to the vet and nursed her back to health. Teddy is oldest ... she's a tuxedo cat and is 9 years old. They all have different personalities!
