Cat chat. Cat chat. Do you have a cat? How did you do that?
We want a cat but are a bit unsure about how to go about acquiring one - buy one for about £100, charity seems a bit judgmental, gumtree, meet a bloke in a pub then dodgy sale in the alley around the corner, find 'em in a hedge like porn mags in the olden days?

If you've got a cat how did you actually acquire yours?

I have one
It's the third cat I've had. First one was given to me because the owners decided they'd rather have a dog. Second one was given to me by my cousin, who decided that she was allergic to it. Third and current one was given to me by my best friend, when one of her cats had kittens. His little brother will be coming home with me next month.

I just don’t know people who have cats
Who have kittens

My cat showed up and wouldn't go away until I let him move in
He's a cantankerous old shit and is very much devoted to me and my provision of food, shelter and attention for him.

Got mine from a local cat & dog rescue centre.
Brother and sister, the boy had a taste for rubber and every day brought us rubber bands, car and house window seals. The girl just wanted to sit on my lap. Best cats ever.

Do not buy one from a dealer. Cat dealers, like dog dealers, are scum. Do not get a 'pure' bred Nazi cat. Go to a charity, go and see each cat, let them pick you.

all of the cats we've acquired since i've lived here have just turned up at our back door as strays or ferals
I encourage you to go to a local cat shelter.

i had a cat, it was a stray ginger tom that lived in next door but one's coal bunker
i fed it for ages then the neighbour took it to his friends in streatham (we lived in epsom), and i was heartbroken.

two years later it tuned up on the doorstep and it was our cat forever after. live to about 25. was a lovely gentle soft as shite huge ginger tom. i called it ginger because i was 13. when i told my grandad its name he asked what colour it was. he was a rite wag.

I didn't know you were an Epsomite. I was a Coulsdonian.
