How Did Your Cat Acquire You?

[Unperson 309]

We were coming home from errands on my birthday when a tiny gray kitten streaked across the dirt road in front of us. She was barely 5 weeks old, emaciated and starving, but she had spunk! We stopped the car, got out and went after her. The Missus (who is more limber than I) scrambled under a rabbit brush (Chamisa sage) and flushed the tiny mewing waif out into my waiting hands. She was nearly weightless in my arms as we carried her, hissing and protesting, into the house.

Fortunately, she was young enough that we overcame her fear (food hath powers to soothe the savage tummy!) and now, two months later, she is sleek and loving. We named her (of course) Chamisa after the beautiful, fragrant flowering sage bush she hid under. Her eyes are chamisa-leaf gray and her little face bears the Democratic symbol of the donkey.

That's how we were acquired by our cat... how did you come to fall under the spell of your furry-purry? Pics, please!
