Tell me how you came to own your pet or pets! I have three cats Bacus is my oldest. I adoptied him threw a foster pet family. They had a littler of seven kittens and they were named after the seven darphs, Bacus was Bashful a vary unfitting name. As soon as I wlked into the room he ran up to me and climd on my shoue I picked him up and he flopped on his back, it ws clear I was ment to be his owner. My other two Sin and Bast came from a litter I fostered myself (again seven of them) I got them when they where a week old. The mother was a horrible cat and would not clean the babies or box train them so Bacus (7 mo. at the time) would sneek into the nest and picked up all the slack the mother left. I love the fact that I was there for their time eating canned food, it was such a mess I had to give them all baths and they looked like wet rats running around lol. And the first time they walked and even opended their eyes, It was so sad when I gave the five I didn't keep away.

Well, my first kitten. I was 6 years old, the farmer neighbors were trying to get rid of their kittens. So It was a conspiracy. I was given a kitten, and told to run out back and hide with it, till they left, then we all used to sneak out left over feed to feed her, Her name was Earnie... 3 year later... Someone dumped a bunch of strays off at my Grandpas house down the road... So we cared for them. All the Cats and Kittens we have are either born here, Given to us, or dumped out here... Many stories both good and bad come out of my literally growing up caring for the kittens... I learn alot through experience, and learn how different each cat's personality is... and have been faces with many different issues surrounded with feral cat populations. I have studied often and become an expert on feral cat care... I have even had to miracle stories where paraylised kittens had made a full recovery under my care. So Kittens and Cats out here on the farm and usually in good hands... This does not mean like any one who works with many feral cats, that we do not have our very dramatic and sad moments as we do. But I have plenty of happy and joyful moments, and althought they can make me hard to grow catnip tea in my garden, I still love em all. Even if I have plenty of tatoos to prove their skills at the art of the claw when it comes to cleaning their ears, and giving them their worming pills...Oh yes, I am an expert at the game of retrieve a pill that has been spit 5 feet, catch the wild hairball :) . - DNatureofDTrain
