Hi Sarah! I'm relatively new, too. I have both kittys and dogs, and started with the doggie forum and now am orienting myself to the Cat Page!!! Hi fellow feline lovers...I have two kittys: Bud, aka Buddy, Mr.B, The B Man, B-Boy, Beaster, The EasterBeaster, (on Easter, of course) and The Polarbeaster in the winter. He looks like a big polar bear with snow booties on. He is a beautiful (of course) DLH white with butterscotch splotches! Bi-color? Long, full coat. He is a bruiser; very large boned and weighing in at 16lbs. But the most gentle, docile, lap lovey ever. At the vet he plays "Gumby" You know. "Bend me, shape me, anyway you want me." You can do anything to him and won't complain. He is about 9 years old. My other baby is Elizabeth; she is 19 and so tiny; no bigger than a little squirrel; I rescued her and her littermates from a storm drain; I think she had stunted growth! Cannot weigh more than a pound or two, but feisty and active and a little doll. I recently lost two. Maybe sometime later I can tell you about these precious souls. Love reading about all the other "kids" and their families. Talk to you soon. Sandra
