Re: When did you get your first cat??


We'd been married just about a year and I think our first cat was a substitute for the child we couldn't afford at the time.

I'm ashamed to say that it was a complete impulse buy, having seen her in the window of a pet shop we were passing. When we took her to a vet for injections he reckoned she was only about 6 weeks old! (I'm much more clued up on kitten-buying now!)

If you mean the family cat, at age five, my lovely ginger tom (he was really my cat. ) As an adult, when I was in my early 30s, my Siamese Su-ling.

Re: When did you get your first cat??


Family cat was when I was about 3 - Mitsi a black and white LH

My very own cats were Solly and Fabes who I got a few months after our much loved family cat Purdi died

I used to look after him when Mum went on holiday and he hated other cats and so I couldn't have my own.

Re: When did you get your first cat??


My first cat was found as a 4 weeks old kittens sitting on a patch of snow outside the works' greenhouses. He was frozen,covered in fleas and the vet thought he had got some chemical in his eyes. I had to feed him for a week and treat him and my shetland collie fo fleas as well as the rest of the house. The fleas had all jumped onto Misty the dog as he was so cold. I was 19 when I found him and when I moved in with Mike, he came too. It was him who converted Mike into liking cats.

In 1986 - when Merlin came to live with me and OH - we'd been married just over 2 years and had moved to our second house which was no longer on a main road.
