Hi! I'm 27 years old, I live in Texas. I own two cats, Tater and Jade.
I got Tater three or four years ago. I adopted him, so I'm not too sure how old he is. He's a tabby and he was hanging around my apartment office and walked right up to me purring and rubbing on my legs when I went to pay rent one day. He didn't have a collar on, so I aksed the leasing office employees if they knew whose cat he was. They told me that he was a stray and that they'd been commanded by their manager to call animal control and have him "arrested". I couldn't resist, I had wanted a dog or cat for some time, but felt guilty about keeping a dog in my small apartment. So, I took Tater into my home.
About a year later, when I was paying rent again, one of the leasing office employees told me that her cat had a litter and she had one kitten left that needed a home. I had every intention of finding a good friend at work who wanted a cat of their own. But she was so much fun and so sweet I kept her long term in order for Tater to have a companion for when I wasn't home. Jade is the most affectionate cat I've ever met. She pretty much refuses to be more than two or three feet away from me. Unfortunately that affection doesn't seem to transfer over to other people, which includes my roomates and friends. This little kitty-neurosis has always bothered me a little bit.
Anyways, every now and then I have a kitty question and a friend reccomended this site.
Looks like a nice place to come and ask.
