I remember begging my parents for my first cat. I was visiting my brother’s summer camp in upstate New York, and another parent had a box of kittens to give to good homes. We had two Labrador Retrievers at the time, and adding a cat was a stretch – but I was granted my wish for my first kitten. She was a beautiful calico with short hair and a sweet personality.

I am guessing that this picture of me and my growing cat was in winter of 1969.
What was your first cat, and how did you find them?
