What a wonderful web site! I’m so glad I stumbled upon it. Thanks to all those who have wished me welcome and answered my posts; I’ll try to answer each one here.
I hope I didn’t give the impression that don’t I adore every single hair on my curious cat’s body! I’ll post something about me, them, and their predecessors in the INTRODUCTIONS forum. I’ll try to upload some pictures of them, too.
Dear kb2yjx – All the usual kitten proofing was done before we got the new babies. We had previously owned two Siamese for 14 years, so we thought we knew what we were getting into. The only things Lucy has actually broken were things we believed too heavy for her to move. Right! Linus, her brother, being a guy, hasn’t been much of a challenge, yet. (He’s a lover!) However, in just the past week, he’s been “exploring" more and more, and getting into things that previously did not interest him. Boys are usually slower to develop, so maybe he’s just finding his stride. Thanks for the encouragement and the welcome. Pat
Dear jenluckenback, - Thanks for the welcome and the encouragement. Lucas is magnificent, and you must miss Brave Heart terribly. We had two Siamese before Linus and Lucy. They were Harry and Bess (Truman, because we lived in the Florida Keys then, and the Trumans always summered there.) They are gone, and although Linus and Lucy have found a permanent place in our hearts, there is still, and always will be, a hole left by Harry and Bess. Thanks again, Pat
Dear Christy, - Yes, she was fixed three months ago. Alas, I think she will just be a ADD cat all her life. Thanks for responding, Pat
Dear rg girlca, - Thanks for you welcome and fact-filled response. I would never give up on the little minx. She is as loveable as she is frustrating. Between them, she and her brother Linus keep us laughing a lot!
I thought I’d been to every site that offered advice on my recliner problem. That is, really, my one great fear for her. If I’m out of the house, and my husband fall asleep in his chair, wakes, and forgets to check before he gets up… Well, you get the picture. I’ve never heard of either the mats with the cups or the spiky tipped mats, both of which I am headed out to get as soon as I finish these posts. I’ll let you know how it goes. The orange peel is interesting; I’ll try it too. And it occurred to me that there is a room deodorant product called Citrus Magic which I might somehow insert into the innards of the recliner.
Are all those beautiful cats yours? Does Buddy feel outnumbered? Thanks, again, Pat
NOTE TO ALL: I have only belonged to one other forum, and on that one we answered each other as I have here. Should I have sent individual e-mails instead? Please tell me any time you fine me doing things improperly. I’m so glad I found you all! Pat
I DID manage to upload some pix. Right to left we have:
Lucy in bathroom basket…Lucy in laundry room basket….Lucy and Linus all wrapped up in each other as they always are when they sleep…and wonderful Linus so he shouldn’t feel left out.
