I always had a thing for cats. I guess it all started in the days I had my imaginary pet firned named Fluffy. Or did I just imagine that I imagined that? :-)))

Anyway, over the span of years I had numerous cats. Mostly from people who wouldn't/couldn't sterilize their cats and periodically were confronted with the trumendous task of looking for volunteers to adopt the newly born kittens.

Other cat lovers here at Sleuthville who want to share their cat experiences here at the boards?

Right now I'm "catless" so I fear Fluffy can show up any day now..... :-))

Me too, have always been a cat person. I currently have two, Zan and Jana, and they're really terrible pets. They're skittish and scaredy and they pee all over my house. But I'd feel like a jerk getting rid of them, so they continue to do whatever they want for a few more years, until they go to cat heaven.

I had a very clever cat once though named Jasper, a tortoiseshell. She figured out how to open the front door of my apartment and let herself out. You might think that's handy, but not so much when you're out of town and come home to find your front door open...

My home is a feline friendly place only.NO DOGS, EVER!! And it has been so since I was a child.All my cats have always been strays.It seems they know the right house to go to for love :) I also currently have two cats.My 2 yr. old all black male cat Marquis & my boyfriend' s 6 mon. old silver tabby cat Salem.They are both spoiled rotten.

I love my cats. Currently there are four (no, I am NOT a crazy cat lady), two are indoor/outdoor and two stay in all the time. I did have a dog, an old lady who found my home after someone dumped her in the middle of the desert (!), and I loved her until she died. She moved up north with us and is buried in a grove next to the cat that died just before she did. We weren't allowed pets as children, so I guess I am making up for it now - there are always at least two cats around.

Like Epiphany's, all my cats have always been strays. The cats I brought home in childhood didn't remain with us long because my mother would soon give them to someone with a garden ("it is better for the cat, dear"). Later my daughter kept up the family tradition and brought home every stray kitten she'd found. At present we have two, a sixteen year old white-and-yellow male who owns us all, and a fat six year old tigress who is interested only in the contents of her plate. And I'm sure there are more to come.

I apologize if their are any spelling mistakes in this post...but Liam, our 16lb rescued furry "monster" has taken it upon himself to sprawl out across my arms and chest as I sleuth. I think he sees me as his pet...or his scratching post...or kneeding blanket. Which is fine when it isn't done in my lap! SO MUCH FOR KIDS! When he isn't controlling me. he is using some of his Brooklyn attitude he has brought with him to Canada, to bump, push, smack or wrestle our other rescued furry monster, Oliver, to finish his food. I think we know who wears the pants in this house.

Hi Everyone,
I love this idea.I have had many cats in my life.My son has over the years brought home most of the cats I have had.I believe in the commitment when I take them in.They are mine until they pass on.If I could I would have more then I do.They like to get in the middle of my son's homework so we call them anti-homework cats.They are a part of our family.

LMAO Crunch - actually, there is no tuna in the house. But, okay, I can see the point about the avatar. Doesn't matter though, my badass black cat Noel is headed up to Canada now to kick your butt.

See ya in the emergency room!

I am currently caring for the loveliest of cats. A Siamese Seal-Point male of medium intelligence... He is getting smarter though... with time! =)

He is not a stray, I bought him for a very good price. Since I was not looking for a pedigree, and since he was the last of his litter, the owner was keen to sell him at any price.

I've named him Milan and he's been with me ever since!
