I have three cats. My two oldest, Smokey and Snowball I got at a pet store when they were about 6 weeks old. Our other cat, Suki, was rescued from some dogs by my wife when she was about 5 weeks old. How did you get your?

i have six cats one for each of mychildren.i got three kittens from a privat seller that cost me twenty pound each.the three other cats were older when i got them as they needed homes.each cat has different habits which makes each cat an individual.

Two were received through a friend or family member, while they were young. The third cat was actually born in our house since her mother was a stray we temporarily took-in to keep her out of the cold (she ran away :( ).

I got my first cat 13 years ago. I had to move away and leave him nearly 3 years ago, and it still breaks my heart. I loved my cat. But how i got him: i was seven years old and I was at a farmer's market with my mother. A lady and her daughter were there with a just a couple tuxedo (black and white) kittens left. They were free, and my 8th birthday was next month, and i remember begging my mother the whole time we were there for one of the kittens. Finally my mother relented, and I grabbed this 8 week old boy kitten who's fur looked like he had a tuxedo on with white feet (his back was black and his stomach white). I named him Achoo because I had just seen Robin Hood: Men in Tights earlier that week and my favorite character was Dave Chappel's character named Achoo, one of Robin's many sidekicks. He was an amazing cat, and I miss him everyday.

I had a cat, the one that is my avatar; I got her a Vet's Office 22 years ago, she passed away last year. Then I have another, She is 16 years old now and she was my neighbor's cat for about 2 months, they also had a dog, a boxer, and one rainy night she cross over my garden and never went back, they gave her to me. That is my cat's history.
