    Hi Pat, Welcome to PT. I'm Tracey and I've been a member of PT for many years now. It's very addictive and I've met so many nice people here.

    I was born in PA grew up in S.C. but now live in Santa Clara,CA. I work in a dental lab as a dental technician.

    I currently have 5 cats which are all rescues.

    Storm is 14 years old, my first cat, and my kitty. He's a blue DLH with beautiful light green eyes. He's the alpha cat and is always purring.

    Sunny is 9 years and 5 months old and he an orange and white Aby mix. He's a big goofball and my eternal kitten. Unfortunately he was diagnosed with cancer in early Dec. so he only has several more months left with me. I know that the nice people here will help me get through his passing when the time comes.

    Sky is 7 years and 7 months old and he's a Norwegian Forest Cat/Siamese Mix and he has very pale blue eyes. He's my dog kitty and loves to socialize with people. He's a lover not a fighter.

    Pearl is 4 years and 8 months old and she's a Lynx Point Siamese Mix. She's very vocal, demanding, and very intelligent. I adopted her from another pet talker in Arizona.

    Ziggy Stardust is 3 years and 7 months old and she's a huge fluffy girl and seems to keep on growing. She may have Maine Coon or Norwegion Forest Cat in her and has a huge bushy tail and teeny tiny baby meow. She's an odd eyed cat with one blue eye and one amber eye. I adopted her from the same pet talker as Pearl. She was adopted almost exactly a year a part from Pearl.

    I look forward to learning more about you and your fur family.

    Hi Grace!

    Hi Tracey!

    Hi Carole!

    Hi Shanna!

    Hi Alyssa!

    Hi Karen!


    Thank you all for replying!

    Karen, I should have looked for a topic with introductions or 'meet our members' type topic. This has been fun, though! Sometimes the less info I have the better I remember...I have some reading/comprehension issues and am starting to get a few of those senior moments now and again. If I have to read too much, I start losing track and have to keep going back to the beginning to start all over. I like my instruction manual to have lots of pictures and few words or chances are, like my camera manual, I barely look at it!

    Alyssa, I am down in the southern half of the state a little below the town of Woodbury which you may have heard of. I'm not far from Deptford, which is another town that may be more familiar than my little town.

    Hi there, Pat!

    I agree with Laura, this has been a great thread for me as well as for you!

    I'm Sandie. I live in Rhode Island, and have been on PT a bit over 3 years. I joined here owning 5 cats. I now have the crew of 14 you see in my siggy, lol. We have an old thread somewhere, that PT can do that to ya, grow your family! All my pets are rescues.

    My Dad lives with me, he moved in 8 years back. He has dementia which has worsened recently. He is move "trouble" than the crew of 14 put together!

    I did cat rescue (thanks to prompting from folks on here). For about 8 months I was actively trapping in a TNRM program. I kept all the kittens, which I was SUPPOSED to socialize and put up for adoption. The cats are listed in the order they arrived here. Ebony was my first foster, that lasted all of 29.5 minutes a record for the group, he hee. Tommy and Tuppence are brother & sister, and they are cousins to Bobby (the moms were sisters). Chaplin and Mandy are also cousins, from a different colony.

    Sparkle is 13, and Mandy is 3, so I have quite the age range in between. The ones not from the TNRM program are either shelter kitties or foundlings.

    Not being able to foster cats (I failed Fostering 101 every time!), I switched over to dogs. Thanks to the wonderful folks on the Dog side of PT, they suggested I look in to the bichon, and one person put me in touch with Small Paws Rescue. The dogs are also listed in the order they arrived here! I keep failing Fostering 101 in the dog realm too, so I just plain do NOT foster any longer! Unlike the cats, the dogs did not arrive here oldest to youngest. Sugar is 12, Lacey is 7, Marlin is 11 and Tasha is 4. Tasha is a puppy mill rescue. Working with her has been quite rewarding.

    What a great idea, Pat!!


    First of all: WELCOME TO PET TALK !!!!

    I'm LUT, and my PT-name is Maya & Inka's mommy. Maya & Inka are 2 of my babies. Zazou & Snoopy joined our family later on. Maya is my calico girl. She is the sweetest and calmest cat you can imagine! Then there is my sweet Inka, my precious CH-cat; she has the softest fur on earth! Zazou is my gorgeous tuxie. She has the true tuxie-spirit! Zazou loves to be admired, scratched, petted, but hates to be picked up! She prefers to jump on my lap only if that's her OWN decision... Last but not least there is my baby Snoopy! She is my 3 legged girl, who can run and jump faster and higher than any other one of my girls ; She has a short underdevelopped 4th leg, which she does NOT use to walk, but to spank her sisters or to play hockey with her toys

    I am from Belgium; I live near Ghent, which is in the flemish part of the country.
    I am married to Bernard. Last summer we celebrated our 30th anniversary!

    I'm a housewife since 22 years now; Before that time, I was teaching in primary schools.

    My hobbies are: posting on PT and another Flemish board, making 3D-cards, sending and receiving postcards from all over the world ( www.postcrossing.com ) reading, and traveling.

    Oh yes, very important: I am rather an "oldie" with my 53 years old

    Again: what a great idea to introduce yourself to this forum!!!
    I miss you enormously Sydney, Maya, Inka & Zazou Be happy there at the Rainbow Bridge

    I don't know the area well, but you're a little over an hour from me. I know where that town is from past visits to Camden and stuff, I don't think you're that far from there.

    Hi, Pat. Welcome to PT. I have been here awhile, maybe 7 years? Too long, by some, I am sure, lol.
    My name is johanna and I have 1 son, who is five. We have 8 cats. 5 are tuxedos, 2 are blackies, and 1 is a tabby. The tabby and 1 of the blackies are 7 month old kittens. The rest range in age from 2.5 years to 9. I currently have a 6 month old shepherd puppy that I am fostering. Her name is Gretchen, and she is recovering from parvo.
    I work in the legal profession. I have learned a lot here, lots of valuable info. And, frankly, no one understands the love we have for our furkids like PT'ers do!!

    My name is Rachel. I'm 25 years old. I am hearing impaired - I am deaf without my cochlear implant. I graduated from Ohio State with a BA in Art. 10 months after, I am still searching for that "dream" job of mine. I don't know what it is, but I'll figure it out sooner or later. I have a boyfriend of three years. He has a Black Lab named Dozer, and I have a Beagle/Terrier mix named Hank. (He is in my signature). I am from Cleveland, Ohio.

I have three cats: Remus, Spook and Hoodini. Remus and Spook are about 6 years old and Hoodini is right around 3. Remus and Spook were aprox 6 months old when I got them (Remus in June of 04 and Spook in november of that year) and Hoodini was about 3 months old when I adopted him from my parents back yard (In the summer of 07). I have a wonderful year and a half yr old son, Nicholas and Ive been married to my husband John for 6 years on Feb 28th.
