I once had a cat when I lived next to a Chinese restaurant when I was a kid. It disappeared one day and I don't know why, the restaurant gave us a few free meals afterwards, I think they were being sympathetic to losing the cat that was my favorite as a kid.

On a serious note, I don't have any cats now, but back in 2005 one adopted my family as its owners and we had it until 2008. I am a dog person though.
