Hello

[CatDad]

Hello Everyone,

I just registered on the Board yesterday and thought that I would finally introduce myself.

I have been reading Dog, Cat, Pet of day for a few years now. It usually makes the day go better. I started to look through the messages over the past couple of months and decided that I should finally join and say hi.

I used the name CatDad (real name is Bryan) because that it what I am. Actually, if I where to be truthful the name would be Cat Servant, but I liked CatDad better. :D

Just because I have cats does not mean that I dislike other animals. In fact I like all animals, it just means that the cats are what work in my life.

I am owned by 2 kitties, Bob and Joey. Bob is a Maine Coon Mix or look alike and Joey is a DSH. I have not gotten a guess on what she is. I keep forgetting to ask my Vet. I got them both from a local no kill shelter.

Anyway, that is probably enough for now. I will post stories and pics of my babies in Cat > General today or tomorrow. I need sometime to pick out which pictures that I want to post.:confused:

I hope everyone has a great day.

PS - I thought that I would mention a couple of items now and get it out. I am lousy about getting back to people, but I will make an effort about being better in the future. I am also a lousy speller, so if I forget to run a message through a spell checker I am almost assured of having a couple of misspelled words. Now you know and have been warned.:eek: ;)

Hi Bryan! Welcome to the board! :D

We have quite a few people from your neck of the woods, so you should feel at home.

Your furkids sound so cute and I love their names. As you can see by my signature pic, I have dogs. I like to live vicariously through the cat people though, since I married a man who's allergic to cats and has horrible asthma.

Can’t wait for pics of your kiddos! Don't worry about which ones to post, just post a bunch! :D

[lynnestankard]

Of course all us cat lovers are devoted servants to our furkids - of which I've got three - a boy Ketchum and girl........well...lady Bagel - they are all black brother and sister - and then there's Dan a tuxxie boy who likes to think he's a street-wise, butch boy - he's not he's a wus!
Love to see pics., of everyone's pets - and please don't worry about spelling mistakes - we all make 'em!!

[Kiia]

Hi,

Welcome! I'm fairly new myself here as well but everyone is so friendly I'm sure you won't have a problem settling in. :)

Growing up I had a few cats, (and dogs), I remember my first cat ever. He was a golden fluffy cat - real beautiful coat on him - hence the name Fluffy. :D I loved that little guy, he followed me everywhere.

For now, I have 1 dog, he's a Min Pin, named Teeko.

[rg_girlca]

Hi Bryan, a hearty welcome to Pet Talk.
My name is Lorraine and I am owned by 4 furbabies as you see in my signature.
Can't wait to see pics of Bob & Joey.
Especially Bob as my Mooky is also a Main Coon mix.

Welcome to Pet Talk Bryan!

My name is Kass but I'm also known as Russian Blue on the boards, so I'll respond to both! :D Currently, I only have one cat, Nakita who is in my signature and she's 16 months old.


I'm going to go read about your cats. Hope you enjoy your time here!

[tomkatzid]

OK, so I'm 9 days late in giving you your welcome. And I feel guilty now that you gave me so much help and I didn't even welcome you. But I did noticed the first day you signed up. Love your name.

This is really a heart felt welcome and thank you:D You saved Tom so much money. I would have had to buy an airplane ticket, new clothes for the trip, new luggage, get my hair done,all to go to a big city and go to an all night inertnet cafe to use their computer to get on Pet Talk. Yes, I'm that addicted....and now with your help I am still here at home with the pups and cat and a nice fire, being able to surf Pet Talk.
So THANK YOU, THANK YOU, and THANK YOU and welcome.
Looking forward to meeting you up at Marymore.
Katz
Tom thanks you too, he won't admit it but he too is addicted. He looks at it at work too:p

[CatDad]

You're very welcome, I was glad I could help.:D

I am also glad that you didn't have to leave your family to go to an internet cafe. I know your husband would be fine, but I am sure all of the furry ones would not understand.

Thank you for the welcome even if it is nine days late. ;)

[trayi52]

Welcome to Pet Talk, Bryan, I go my trayi52, but my name is Willie, and I am a mom to two cats, Grover and Stubby. Grover is my baby, as you can see in my signature. By the way Popcorn made my beautiful signature, she is very talented. (thanks Popcorn). Anyway welcome!:)

[Cataholic]

Hi Bryan! Let me be even later than Tomkatzid in welcoming you. I have been kind of busy at the old salt mines lately. I know you will like it here, and I will go check out your postings in cats...being a cat fan myself. AND a fan on one St. B, Binx.

I used to live in Bellevue...just for a couple of years, while working at an insurance company. I have now returned to my home city. Enjoy PT!
