Welcome, Nicole!

Beautiful babies! PSYCHO? :D

If you go down to the last section, you will see a topic on Meetings. A few Canadians are trying to set up meetings. I am wondering what area you are from, as we have one lonely PTr in PEI!

Welcome again!

Welcome to Pet Talk. Your kitties are gorgeous, but I especailly like Psycho's name and markings - what a beauty! :D

Beautiful cats, love the name choices too!:D Welcome!! You have some lovely animals!

Lol I love thier names.

They are all gorgeous!

Lol Catty you beat me to asking about the meeting:p

Catty1 - Thanks. Psyco actually has a very interesting story behind her name. She used to be called Taffy. She was owned by an elderly woman who allowed her to run loose and get abused. She was so badly abused that she learned to hate people with a vengence. When the lady went into a nursing home Taffy ended up in the rescue I was fostering for. She was wild with aggression. She was so bad that she was scheduled to be put to sleep. But I wanted to give her a chance. I have a knack for the hard cases. I brought her home and put her in my spare room. She stayed there for many months. Anytime anyone would walk past teh door she would scream and hiss and try to attack them from under the door. If you went in to her room you had to be dressed in winter gear to protect yourself. She would litterally throw herself at you to attack you with her teeth and all four feet. Well with a lot of patence, training, behaviour modifaction she has become a wonderful lap cat. She has been with us four years now. She is safe around children and other animals. But those crazy first months is why she has the name Psycho. If you say her name she comes running purring all the way.

I am in Southern Alberta.

RedHedd - Thanks. All my cats, ferrets and also Luca are rescues. Sheena is the only one form a breeder. Prince I found with is other two siblings in a dumpster when he was about 2 weeks old, Peace we found under a car out front of our house. He was skin and bone. The ferrets we got form a rescue in Calgary. Luca we also got form a rescue.

critter crazy - Thank you so much.

Buttercup132 - Thanks. I am in ALberta.

WELCOME TO PET TALK! Hope you like it enough to stay around awhile. Your babies are adoreable even Psycho.. (My daughter has a cat that she call a psycho kitty that is also a calico.)

There is a nice bunch of people here and I am sure you will love it. It is a great place to show off your babies and brag, brag, brag! (about them) :D

Welcome to PT! All of your kitties are very pretty and I love Psycho's story! We all love rescue stories that have such happy endings! Thank you for sharing that and for saving Psycho!!!

Kim :)

Laura's Babies - Thanks so much. I already like it here. And as you most likely noticed I love to take pics and post them.

kimlovescats - Thanks. I will always rescue. I was a fosterer for 13 years for shelters and pounds. I hope in teh next couple of years to move out of town to some property and start a White Shepherd rescue.

Welcome to PT!!!:D All 3 of your cats are gorgeous and thanks for telling us Psycho's story. I'm so glad that she's now accepted you as her family.:)

All of my cats are also from rescue groups. Storm and Sky were from the Humane Society, Sunny and Starr were from rescue groups and were fostered in a home. Pearl and Ziggy Stardust were found dumped in a park with feral cats and were fostered by another PT'er,K & L, and I fell in love with them so I had to adopt them.:)

Welcome to this neck of the woods! What an amazing story about Psycho; see what love and patience will do? She is blessed that you did not give up on her, no matter how bad it was.

Love all your pictures. Keep up the good work. Those guys are lucky to have you!

Hi Nicole,
Welcome to the forum, it is a great place with lots of fun and pictures and stories about the wonderful companions we all have.
I love Peace what a beauty, so perfectly white! Is he deaf as some white cats are deaf sometimes?
I have two cats Jack and his sister Sunny, who I adopted from Cat's Protection here in Wales. I dote on them and adore them more than anything.
They have Catster pages if you want to check them out!
We all look forward to hearing more stories and seeing more pics of you gorgeous rescue babies.

Hi Nicole, love the pictures of your cats, they are just priceless! Really do love the picture of Psycho. Well I love them all, I could pick out something about everyone of them!

Anyway,Welcome to Pet Talk!

Willie :)

Hi Nicole, WELCOME! This is a great place, with lots of people who are just nuts about their pets, ha ha. Peace certainly looks full sized; if she is 6 to 8 months old, she could maybe get even a little larger, whoa!

I have had a total of 9 cats. Eight were either foundlings or shelter kitties. One came to me from a lady with 2 cats moving into senior housing; they only permitted one cat. As her kitty was 12, she could not find anyone willing to take on an older cat. I have seven currently. My cats range in age from 1 year old to 15 (the one from the senior lady). They are an active, spoiled, demanding bunch!

First of all: http://users.pandora.be/bernardgabri...iesletters.gif to Pet Talk!!!

Wow, what a touching story about Psycho!! How in the world did you manage to let her trust humans again?? Great achievement!!

I am Lut, owned by 4 cats and a bunny :)
