I have 4 special kitties- Last May 2008, a stray cat came to our house I do not have any pet cats so I talked to my husband and started to feed her. She decided that we were nice and she brought her 2 kittens which we didnt know she had . Also I didnt know that she could still get pregnant while nursing her babies, she did and had 10 kittens so I now have 4 kitty kats

I had a cat we named Spunky since he was truly full of life. He must have thought he was a dog since he absolutely loved to play fetch with his foam balls. He thrived on the anticipation of a ball being flicked away from him and running like mad to catch it. He would come quickly back to the person who was playing with him with the ball in his mouth and drop it at their feet. If the person did not pick it up, he would insist with short, loud meows.

He was very feisty and played on my fear of him by hiding under the kitchen table and darting for me suddenly in a surprise attack.

He once got mad at me for some reason (unjustified, of course!) and bit me across the bridge of my nose. I still have a light scar 20+ years later. I shall never forget him.

He was truly a super smart cat with a marked personality.

One other memory I have of him is when he decided to eat a live large, hard-shelled beetle that he had found on the floor in my room. I can still hear the crunch!! ;(

Thanks for the chance to win!

I had a cat that lived to be nearly 21 years old. He disproved the theory of a cat having nine lives cause I’m sure he used twice that many when he was alive. For instance, he chewed through an electrical cord that was plugged in and it didn’t phase him! We have had as many as five cats, but are now down to one. I really miss all the others!

My boyfriend fostered 3 kittens a few years ago; because of a period of upcoming travel, he wasn’t able to adopt his favorite, but he took care of them from when they were tiny to when they were big and bounding. He still keeps the photos of them!

Our first cat was a stray that we took in. His name was Mittens! We had him for seventeen years. He was a very friendly cat and greeted everyone at the door that came to visit. Even at the end when he wasn’t feeling well, he would sit with my grandchildren when they came to visit. He was a cat that love people and we still miss him.

We rescued a kitten from a swampy forest area recently. We were walking by and heard this unearthly cry… suddenly there was Mogli, bounding out of the swamp and into our arms! She has been a wild, spirited, and LOVING addition to our family

So wonderful learning about how your cats came to your family!

I come from a family of cat lovers! Growing up, my family took in so many stray cats. I cannot even count them all with two hands. We had every single one of them spayed/neutered and they were all considered true members of our family. I have very fond memories of all of our cats growing up. The unconditional love pets give is priceless.

Now that I’m married with two children of my own, I of course wanted cats in our home. However, with so many cats in shelters it was a must that we adopt cats in need of a good home.

We adopted our first cat, Zoey, from Petsmart. Soon we realized she needed a friend so we adopted our second cat, Sophia, from Petsmart as well. They were both from no kill foster homes. They truly are soul mates, or should I say soul sisters! Watching them play, snuggle and love each other warms our hearts.

My husband didn’t grow up with cats, but he absolutely adores them now. I’ve turned him into a hardcore cat lover and I love it! My kids can’t get enough of our cats. They add so much laughter, love and joy to our lives. Our family would NOT be the same without our two furry family members.

Thanks for this great giveaway. When I saw the book, I just knew I had to enter. My daughter is a huge animal lover and it would be so wonderful to give this to her as a Christmas gift.

We currently have 3 cats, including 2 kittens we rescued in the last year.

Hmm, a funny story? A few weeks ago I was in the living room when I heard a splash. I thought my five year old had gotten into something, until a wet kitten came running past. Apparently someone left the toilet seat up, and the youngest kitten had fallen in! He was fine, just a little wet.

We got our first kitten after she sat on our porch crying for a day in the winter. I told my husband to let her in and I would try to find out who she belonged to. Although we asked all the neighbors (not that there are too many since we live in a rural area)– no one would claim her. Well, since she wanted to be a part of our home so bad, she got to stay.
