I joined PT on February 14, 2002. My gosh, it will be 3 years on Monday that I have been here and yet it seems much longer than that.
I lurked for awhile before I posted on March 2, 2002 on a Cat of the Day thread titled, "Tiger Lily"

My very first post on PT;

Tiger Lily
I have never seen a calico tiger kitty before. What beautiful markings and color on her. Congratualtions on owning such a
beautiful and precious kitty.
