Hello everybody!

[Sonia59]

Thanks again everybody!
Now some answers to your questions:
Peppito is 7 years old, a big boy of almost 7 kilos. For more details about him you can read the COTD of May 3rd, 2005 (can you imagine how proud I was that day!!!)

I am not sure we really wanted to adopt a cat (at least we were not completely decided) when we visited some colleagues who had baby kittens. We saw them first at 3 weeks old, 3 girls and one boy. After that it did not take too much time to decide we SHOULD adopt one of these cuties! It was hard to wait a few more weeks...Then we came back, the kittens were almost 3 months old. And our future Peppito was here, already very big. Actually he was almost as big as his mum (a tiny wonderful spotty cat) and she was a little bit bored feeding this always hungry big baby! I do not remember HE chose us as compared to his sisters, but he was observing everything, evaluating the situation, though not shy. And other purrents were interested in adopting the girls, but this big boy was too impressive. This is the day he arrived in his forever home!

This cat never had a bad life, was never abandoned in the streets, never hungry (even if he pretends he is starving in the middle of the night!). I am not sure he realizes that! We are thinking of adopting a sister for him. He is very jaleous when I pet another cat (because he is too spoiled!), especially in his house, so it will probably be hard but after some time it should be OK!

Special Hi to Lut! Are we the only Belgian and French regular PT’ers??
Yes, may be one day I should visit you! I have to explain the other PT’ers that I work in The Netherlands and I drive every Friday and Sunday on the highway next to Lut’s village!! The world is so small! I would love to see the gorgeous Maya and Inka. Usually I do not have Peppito in my car (might be dangerous with the Belgian Policemen around Ghent…!! ), he stays home with my husband during the week.

Next time, I don’t talk so much and post more pics!!!

Salu Sonia, et salu Peppito.

Tu me reviens bien fort de mon Tigris (le plus grand des deux que tu peux voir dans mon avatar). What handsome big boys the two of you are.

Je viens de très près de la frontière franco-allemande (de Sarrebruck) mais maintenant j'habite Munich - un peu loin de la région Ã_ l'Ouest du Rhin

Looking forward to hearing more of you and Peppito

What a handsome cat Peppito is! And it's so nice of Barbara to write to you in French.

Yes, I wish there were more ! I think that the language barrier is the main reason . There used to be a member, Casper & Kitty, but she is gone since almost 2 years.

I'd love to meet you too! Whenever you pass my village, you are always welcome!! I will give you my address if you like!
