Hi, my name is Kim and I'm Pouncer's mom (I tried top register under that name twice and couldn't get anywhere- I was told I made an access error) so now my name is catnapper since Allen's taking one right now and he looks sooo sweet.

I have three furbabies. Nicki's the oldest - she'll be 9 next month. She's a 90 pound mutt and has a heart of gold. then we have Allen, a 2 year old ginger tabby that we adopted from my Aunt... he looks like a larger version of his mommy. Allen is 17 pounds and everyone is surprised to see such a big cat, but I know there are lots of big kitties out there. I also have Pouncer who seems to be quite famous around here.

As for myself, I am currently trying to switch gears and do what I've wanted to do for a long time. I was (note was) an interior designer and lost my job last month. Rather than being upset and destroyed, I am flying high on the freedom of finally doing my thing: I am going to do art full-time (ok, I will supplement it with freelance design work!) So, those of you who are dying to have portraits of your babies, human or 4 legged, I'm your girl! I do pencil rederings (shameless promotion, sorry.)

I am married to a wonderful and supportive husband who has been for months trying to get me to tell my bosses to take a hike and start my own company. He's a teacher in an inner-city school... that means he makes hardly any money, has to deal with in-school violance and the possiblity of a strike. LOL. We are a strange match but it works. He is a geography teacher - I can't find my way around the block, he's soprts nut, whereas I find sports to be a fundamental waste of time.

I have three children. All are teenagers. My oldest is a junior and looking to find the right college (please let him find one close to home) and wants to be a teacher like his dad. My middle child - oldest daughter- is a sophomore without a clue of what she wants to become. My youngest daughter is in 8th grade and also wants to be a teacher.

Here's picture of Pouncer meeting Nicki. Now he torments her. PS: you will never complain of the lack of photos posted from me!

Your picture link didn't work :( I think you have to post jpg photos.

Welcome to PT, Catnapper and thank you ChrisH for converting the pic. The .bmp file didn't work for me either. Pouncer is such a little cutie! Now we need a pic of your big-boy Allen. My Mishi is a 16 lb. (give or take - probably give is more like it :rolleyes: ) and he's a "ginger" Maine Coon -- love my big orangie boy. So please, more pics! :D

Welcome to Pet Talk!!!:D I'm sure you'll love it here. I've seen Allen and Pouncer before and this last pic of baby Pouncer meeting Nikki is so adorable.:D I'm glad that you like to post pics because we love them here.
I have 4 large male cats too. Storm is a Maine Coon mix and 14lbs., Cirrus looks like a Bengal/Occicat mix and is probably 15-16lbs., Sky is a Siamese mix and is 13lbs., and Sunny is my little Aby mix at 11lbs. :) I look forward to hearing and seeing more about all of your furkids.:)

Welcome to Pet Talk Kim.
I just loved the picture of little Pouncer with Allen, but the one with the intro to Nicki is just priceless.
Looking forward to hearing more from you and of course seeing pics of all your furbabies.
