Fifi was my cat, but is not any longer.

but when it came time to take her back from the kitty sitters, I had to fly back to LA again for another movie.
I still think of her as my pet (though of course I would not go and take her back! How mean!). And I am not a cat person, really.

That's kinda similar (without the exotic locations or the cross-atlantic flights) to how my cat became my parents' cat.

My wife and I moved out to their cottage for 6 months and then in with her parents for 6 months while we were saving up a down-payment for our house. Well, her sister is allergic to cats so Peaches (also a Calico, but grey and orange instead of black) had to stay at the cottage while we were with her parents...

Once we moved into our house we could probably have taken her back but my Mom was kinda attached to her and I wasn't sure how easy it would be to re-integrate her with the dogs since they hadn't seen her in 6 months (I have a couple of Rotts and a Shepherd)... So now she lives there permanently.
