Hello, and Welcome to Pet Talk!

I actually had pet ownership the reverse of you! I came from a dog family. Living on my own in my apartment, for the first time in my life I got a cat. (This was about 12 years ago.) As he was a stray little orphan, I took him in to the vet's first thing the next morning. Vet checked him all over, gave him the first set of shots, told me when to bring him back for the second set and added, "meanwhile, just keep an eye on him and when you come back, let me know anything unusual that he does."

I blinked and replied, "he doesn't bark, he MEOWS! EVERYTHING he does is unusual to me!!!" Te hee.

Well, you will enjoy it here and find lots of great pet stories.
