People tell how they got their cats

Pets come into our lives in a number of ways. Cats seem to be the most creative in their arrivals.. Every one of these stories in unique. 
Clearly the cats come to us. We just accept them, even if we didn't want a cat.

I love the stories of cats just being there on a doorstep or just following someone home.
Cats really do choose us. We only think we are adopting a cat. The cat has adopted us.
