[FONT=century gothic][COLOR=darkblue][SIZE=3]What a warm, warm welcome! Thank you each and every one! :-)

VermontCat told me this was the place to be and it certainly looks like it! I don't know how well I'll be able to keep up with everything, but I'll certainly come "hang around" now and again.

Zeebee got her name in a round about way... my late husband wanted to name the cat Zeebo - as we were still not very good at deciding if the kitten was a boy or a girl. I liked it - and called the kitten "Z!". First visit to the vet, however, is when we found out Z was a princess, not a prince :-) Should have known by the way she carried herself, but mind you we had several other cats around at the time :-) :-) Sid took over being her "parent" and taught her how to hunt, how to beg for food politely, where all the neat hiding places were. Rasputin (Pooda) was biffed there was a kitten around.

Sid and Pooda have both gone over the Rainbow Bridge. Another 2, Samson & Simon have both gone over the RB... All since Zeebee joined us in '85. I am leaving out the strays I fed and my mother in law's cats (she lived with us for a while).

My household now contains five cats.... Zeebee is the oldest at 19, Eunie (aka Fat Boy) is 16, Nagle is 14, Gizzer is 7 and Allie is 7. Eunie, Nagle & Allie belonged to my new husband when we married.

I guess the next thing I need to do is go check out that pictorial lesson :-) :-)
Thanks again!
