Hi Pat & welcome to the PT crew! I'm going to join with others and say "what a wonderful idea for a thread"!!

I'm Maggie, my husband is Coop (real name Bob, we've been married since 1982) and the queen of our household is Miss Pinot Noir. She is in my avatar and I have an album in my profile. She's about two and a half; we adopted her from a shelter in March of 2008 when she was about 10 months old. Pinot was Cat of the Day on May 5, 2009. I grew up with dogs (Irish Setters) and have had cats (one at a time) all my adult life. I have met wonderful people on PT and have gained some wonderful insight and information. Again, WELCOME!!
