I checked "other" because I got my cat when I saw an ad in the newspaper for Free Kittens. I had just finished college and had my own place and I was ready to get a kitten of my own. The ad said they had 4 black and white kittens, 2 males and 2 females and I had always wanted a black and white female. My then boyfriend (now husband) and I went over and picked her up and took her home. She has been with us for 14 wonderful years now! I think that it proves the saying is true " The best things in life are free!"
