Cat.
Sorry... guess I should've clearified that.
I was about 6 and his name was Blackie
I was almost 30 when Fred and his brother adopted me. My parents hated cats, so we never had any.
Well, it was not my kitty exactly but at the age of 3, my family adopted a barn cat named Puff (you know, Dick and Jane and Sally and Spot and Puff, lol) Puff had kittens - she arrived pregnant and the little black kitten became mine!!
I have had cats all my life since then!!

My first cat was the family cat. She "followed" my brother home from first grade, so I was about 3. He named her Friskie, after the dog in Dick and Jane, because he always wanted a dog. She was a silver tabby who lived over 15 years.
Festus' Mom (Miss Kitty) was given as a 70th birthday gift to a woman by her children. She had never owned a pet before. They just really hit it off at the first adoption show that Miss Kitty went to. None of her 3 kittens which were up for adoption were chosen that day, but Miss Kitty found a new home. She was renamed Jasmine by her new owners granddaughter.
All she wanted to do was sit on a warm lap and purr. We both work full time, so I'm sure Miss Kitty, now Jasmine is much happier with her. Festus looks just like her Momma.
since the age of 6 my gran told my parents they should get me a kitten. sadly they didnt listen and i had to resort to bringing home Maverick at 20 before i could get a cat.
I was 22.... we got Baylee almost a year ago and she was my first!
Stormy (my first cat) found my family one rainy night a few months before I was born. She lived until I was almost 18
my parents had 2 when i was born and was raised with tweeky til i was a few years old and then mighty died when i was in 2nd grade... we had outside cats but that was it until we got shadow in 2001
Well my Dad had a cat the whole time I was growing up. But I got my first when I was ten, but he ran away from home.
Then the next year when I was eleven my parent's bought me Bubbles, the cat they currenlty have.
31 years old.......Ellie is my first Kitty (I adopted her about 5 months ago)!!! LOL
We have always had cats. I have baby pictures of me and my Mom's
Siamese curled up in my crib.

I was 21 when I got Pepper, my mom is allergic to cats and dogs so I could never have any animals while growing up.
