No, I haven't done that. But when I was in college, my roommate (and best friend) moved in with her boyfriend and took her cat. We had been friends since the 3rd grade and I had helped her pick out her kitten "Feets". Feets had extra toes on all four feet. Anyway, my friends parents loved her cat and one day her dad called. Only he asked to speak to Feets! I wasn't thinking and said, "Feets doesn't live here anymore." Oops! I recovered quickly and said I was kidding, but that she was taking a nap. Whew! That was close.
