I'm new, saying hello and trying to put up a few pics as well!!
Well, I'm new here, thought I'd introduce myself to everyone here and talk about my boys!!!! I have two cats, Bobbie is 9 1/2 months old (pure white), and Donnie is 9 months old (pure white with a little grey on his head). I adopted them a month ago after they'd been in the shelter for four months. They're both neutered, and because they'd been in the shelter for so long, and the woman who'd given them to the shelter had asked that they be adopted out together, I got them in a kind of two for one deal, so I used the extra money to buy them more toys!!!! I've had cats all my life and couldn't be without them. These guys are great!!!!!!! I've never had two cats before so I'm sure I'll have lots of questions, but for now, bye!!!!
Welcome from a fellow newbie!
Welcome to PT forums. It's fun here - kind of addictive, unfortunately. Everybody is so friendly.
I love my 4 cats - In Oct 2002, we got the one that we raised from kittenhood (1.5 lbs, about 4-6 weeks old when we took him in - he was a stray), and now he's 2.5 years old and 15 lbs - after so much fun with the one, we adopted another one to keep him company - a girl in May 2003 that was only 5 months old at the time. That was it for a while - we thought 2 was great. Then we got in the bad habit of going to PetSmart for food, etc., and looking at the kitties there to see how they were doing, who was adopted, etc., and that's how we met and adopted our Leo, who was between 1-2 years old at the time, in April 2004, and our Claudia, who was 1 year old (supposedly - I think she'll always be part-kitten, the way she acts), in late June 2004. We like having even numbers - 2 boys, 2 girls.
As you can see, 1 cat quickly turns into 2, which turns into 4. I think that's it for us, but we love our kitties! My mom had one cat from the time he was a kitten in 11/03, and we helped her adopt a friend for him in 12/04 - they're just now getting to a state of friendliness/normalcy (whatever that is for a cat), but I think everybody should at least have a couple! :)
