Making a quiet (hopefully) entrance!

[GILL]

And a BIG WELCOME from the CREW.

[KnightOwl]

Thanks again to all for the welcomes. I can see it is going to take me a while to get accustomed to the place, and even longer to get to know all the friendlies here. Being pet owned, I'm thinking there won't be many, if any, unfriendly types, so I won't belabour that subject.

Our trip to town was successful, good reading material was picked up from the local library, and surprisingly, the Lady of the House did NOT bankrupt us when we stopped for a few necessities at the superstore.

Now! On to the introduction of the 6 Mouskateers of Five Oaks Manor, SouthWoodsUSA.

Buddy, our leader and resident senior dust mop, is, at present, dozing within a finger's length of my left hand on the monitor shelf, the other insiders scattered about within arms length. All, that is, but my little guy. The is guarding his Small One (M'Lady Lisa) on the futon in the fun room, where both are taking their afternoon nap. Now don't read me wrong here, these little cats are all My Girls and Guys, but this little one is special to me.


MikiCato, seven years old, a diminutive shorthair,
is the only member of our family who was searched for.
All my life I have been owned by black kitties.
Long hair, short hair, floofy tail, pencil tail
Something about the sometimes highly disliked Halloween Kitties
I just can't do without.
Suffice to say, just prior to the loss of my last Great love, Princess Ebony,
I went searching and MikiCato found me
at his first forever home.
He was less than three months old.
My shadow kitty

Now I'll take a break from the history of the SouthWoods Clowder and do a bit of roaming around the threads here. Lot to see, and I must say I am enjoying looking.

I'll be back. There are 4 more of my little owners to be presented here, and I wouldn't miss doing that for the world.

Later .....

WELCOME, and you sure landed in the right place. Around here, a set of 6 mousketeers is just a "starter set" for some (yours truly included)

Waiting to see more of those friendly faces.

[KnightOwl]

Thanks for that Jen!

We have lost more than a few of the strays, cast-outs, abandoned, and lost cats and kittens we've had visiting/living on our car port (read here, CAT PORCH). The neighborhood has been plagued with good old RedNeck gun slingers that have nothing better to do than shoot the cats others have abandoned when they move out of the trailer homes just down the hill from our acre. Lisa and I have cared for every one that has shown up looking for food and shelter, love and attention. But not being able to keep them from rambling the area searching for their lost families, they have been taken down one by one.

Now there are only 2, and I'm thinking they are residents from up the hill come down hunting for something different than what they have. Money is tight with us, but if they wish to stay, (our two outsiders have already accepted them and share their food and nest/beds with them when they visit) they are more than welcome.

At our age I'm hoping we don't have any more adopting us. We do NOT want to be outlived by our babies. At their ages (all 6 years and older) few, if any folk around here would bother to adopt them.

Welcome to Pet talk! For sure I will follow this thread to see and learn more about your other furry kids! We love pictures here

Peppito (12 year-old mackerel tabby) and Jasmine (5 year-old black princess) say meowwwww and puurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs to you and your crew, from over the ocean!

Greetings and welcome to PT from Mary and the Fur Posse, which is down to 5. The posse has thinned out over the years but, like you, I don't want my furkids to outlive me, so no more adoptions for me. I've learned a lot since becoming a member of the PT family and I'm sure you will, too.

Slick hit the nail right on the head!!!

WELCOME TO PT!!! We have a lot of fun here. If you need advice on anything, there are alot of wonderful, experienced people here that will be able to help.

Your furkids are beautiful!!!!

[KnightOwl]

Thanks for the compliments and the welcome moosmom.

This little lady is Spooky (I didn't name her.)
Her previous owners hung that name on her.
She's, to our best guess estimation, 7 years old
6 of those years she's been with us after crossing the road
from her old home.
She has never gone back.
She's one of the two outside kitties we have.

We call her Princess because she looks and acts so much like our little Rainbow Bridge Girl Princess Ebony who took care of us for over 21 years.
