"How Long Have You Owned a Cat?" Probably already posted but some might have missed it.

For me it would be zero. They have always owned me!

1. CopyCat. At least you can say they "owned me" because cats have impeccable taste. n/t

[applegrove]

2. I got a cat in 1997. She was with me for a few years until I moved far

away from home and my dad suggested I leave her with him until I settled down. Well it has been a decade and he has not returned her to me. Plus they are very cute together: he is a huge teddy-bear of an 80 year old and she follows him around like a dog. I could never separate them at this juncture.

3. IMO you gave a gift-of-life to your dad! Opinion from a 75 year old. n/t

[applegrove]

4. Yeah. He comes from a cat loving family and talks to Sam all the time. They are good

for each other.

5. And your dad has a fantastic daughter as do I.

:hi:

6. None of your god damn business

7. I was born into a cat-loving family. The only time I didn't live w/ kitties

was in college/post college/grad school when I lived in places that didn't allow pets. I would get desperate for a fur fix so I'd roam the streets looking for kitties to pet (dogs didn't do it for me; their fur isn't nearly as nice and they're just not as cute). I had all the neighborhood kitties named (in my head). I tell ya, I NEED kitties daily. :loveya:

11. ROFL!!!

Fur fix! :rofl: I almost spat out my coffee onto my keyboard when I read that! :spray:

You give me the impression of being one of those crazy cat ladies seen on "Confessions: Amimal Hoarding"! :evilgrin:

16. Well, we've only got three, but the potential is there, I tell ya!

:rofl:

9. Over a decade

10. Only technically have I owned my cats. In reality, my cats have owned me for 4 years

At least Ruby. Max is her kitten (really grown) and he's about to own me for 3 years on Feb 26.

12. I have lived with cats for most of my life. "Ownership" is another matter altogether.

[mythology]

13. well

when I was born and I seemed to be allergic to cats my mom was considering taking me to the pound because she had had the cat longer. I've never not had a cat and only for the last two months not had a dog.

[era veteran]

14. 45 years maybe

We have 4 cats & one dog now. Have a lot of groundhogs too but they are targets not pets. Hey you woodchucks quit chucking my garden.

I bet Tater is a cat lady in real life.

[WolverineDG]

15. my whole life

from birth to now, there has always been at least 1, sometimes more than 1, cat in my family. :)
