Hi, Pat! I bet you were wondering if there were any guys on this forum. We're in a minority, but we're there. LOL! My user name is my real name. I've been on here since 2004. I recently moved to an assisted living facility near Pittsburgh. I grew up in a suburb of Pittsburgh where I recently retired as a groundskeeper on a golf course. I've had a sucession of cats as pets, the most recent being miss Marigold, a beautiful female tortie. (unfortunatelely, the facility has a rule against residents keeping cats as pets, YUCK!), however she was adopted by a very nice older lady and has a great home. I was also involved in cat rescue and adoption with the Cat Sense organization. Well, Pat I 'm officially welcoming you to Pet Talk!
