What's the most interesting way you've ever come into owning a pet?

Came out for a smoke break at work and my boss was hovering near the bushes nervously, I went over and saw there was a kitten hiding in there, boss told me not to go near it because if I get hurt then that's an insurance issue, I told him it was a kitten not a snake and after a few days of trying to catch the little floof (including two instances of her climbing into car engines and one getting her head stuck in a fence) we caught her and took her home.

I was staying with my parents while our house was being settled and it was midnight when I got home with her, she slept in my room and the next morning I came out to the living room, told my mother not to be angry and presented her with the kitten, she looked mad and said "absolutely not" then the flood meowed and she said "damn, now you have to keep it!"

Right before my dad came home she had escaped into the loungeroom and had hidden inside the couch, so in walks dad, I ask for help and he says "I'm really not happy about this, I don't want a cat in the house"

He manages to catch her, picks her up and looks at her

... Silence...

"Well arent you just a little thing"

So that's how I ended up with my fuzz butt.
