The Daftest way to get a cat


I remember when I was about 10. My friends cat had kittens. I wanted one but my parents said no.
So what did I do? Told my friends parents It was ok to get one. I kept it in my bedroon without my parents knowlage for a week. Then my Gran came to stay (in my bedroom) and let the cat out of the bag, so to speak. I was made to take him back . His name was Felix. I hated the world and it's mother for a while after that. Funny I havent thought about that for ages.

Re: The Daftest way to get a cat


I desperately wanted another pet, but I was living with my parents still and they had said "only one pet each, ever". I'd had a hamster, so no more pets for me. I conspired with my littlest brother, gave him some money to go out and get me a guinneapig for my birthday. Parents were *furious* with me for a week, then couldn't deny that he was cute and no bother ("but if you *ever* let his cage get dirty, he's *out*!!" must be in the parents' handbook... They all say the same thing. )
I was very glad to still have him when I moved away from home. Nice to have something alive to come home to, when you're used to having a whole family there.

It broke my heart having to give him back, but it was to *teach me a lesson*. Made me look a right fool too . I couldnt do that to my kids if they wanted something so desporatly.

Re: The Daftest way to get a cat


I got a rat the same way as you, Jac, only I asked the petshop lady to keep him for a week and then convinced my parents to let me go get him... That was before I found out you need to keep rats in (at least) pairs.

I think "The Daftest Way to Get A Cat" would be a great title for my autobiography, given recent events
