Hi!
Thanks for the welcome. Everyone on the forum has been super nice. It's great to know I'm not the only one who is crazy about owning a pet! I think everyone ought to do it if they can reasonably take on the responsibility.
Regarding stairball, I don't know sometimes which one of us has more fun-me, or the cat. Her name is Arwen, by the way. She is a three-year -old Bombay, and is gorgeous! Only problem is, it's so hard to get good pictures of her since she is all black, but I'll try to get one of her on here.

Thanks!
P.S. Arwen knows she is beautiful, which is why I call her a diva, and is not in the LEAST bit spoiled. LOL
P.S.S. Your girls are lovely!!!!
