This is way too funny! I needed a good laugh.

I have the sweetest husband! Iâ€8482ve been wanting another Tortie-Point Siamese since I lost Sassy, my Tortie-Point Himalayan mix, thanks to my parents, in 1999. It's a long story, but my parents got rid of her while I was hospitalized, even though I didn't live with them and they lived about...

I agree! Being a Mom of a 3yr old daughter and multiple pets (for many years), I will be honest. Having a baby is extremely exhausting. Don't get me wrong, because there is nothing like it and the rewards are great, but I would highly advise you to think about adding a baby until after the major...

Not too much right now, but I think that's from being at the shelter and then ending up with a URI. She's a sweet girl and very loving right now, but I suspect, being a Tortie, she'll show the moodiness at some point.

Isn't that the truth?!?! My daughter is 3 and life would be much simpler to do only what she wants.

I must admit that I haven't read the books or seen the movies. I've never been a real fan of vampire stories, but the Twilight series has me intrigued. I'm thinking it's time to get a book and read it. I really love to read, so maybe I should give it a chance. Erica

Hi and Welcome! I'm new here, also, but I do love it! Everyone is really nice and helpful. Erica

I agree about the personality being the main factor. Personally, I prefer no less than 3. My reason for this is if they do bond then when the time comes for one to cross the bridge, then the other two still have each other, which can help with the grieving process. Also, like in my case, I have...

I'm not big on sweets, but I do enjoy the pumpkin pies and my Mom makes little individual cheesecakes. They're the size of small cupcakes and she usually tops them with some fruit topping, like Cherry or Blueberry. Yummmm...good!

Everyone here wears collars, except Siana. She's still too little for a collar. I used to not put collars on cats, but we had an incident where 3 got out. These three were homeless that I had brought in to find them new homes. Well, I had forgotten that I had opened the window that day, since it...

Oh the poor baby! I'm so glad you got him and had him checked out. He'll be one happy bouncing boy soon! I can't wait to see pictures of Finn!! Congratulations!!

It's funny, because I've always preferred male dogs and male cats, but now I have more girls than boys. I have noticed, though, that some boys do bother my allergies more, but I don't know if the gender really has anything to do with it, since the dander is the culprit. Of course, if I found...

It was really bad. She was the only pet I had at that time, and I didn't see her as a pet. She was my family and my roommate. I never felt so alone as I did when I got home to find her gone. She was a tortie point Himalayan mix that I had found as a stray and had taken her in. She couldn't have...

I'm new here, but I found this thread and thought I'd show you my picture, since I hope to be around here for a long time. I'm usually behind the camera...not in front of it. This was taken just a couple of weeks ago. Erica

1) You can tell by my username on here that I have a love for that "Tortietude". With that said, I love the Torties. I love not only their coloring, but the attitude that generally accompanies that beautiful swirling of colors. I do prefer Torties with white, but I love the regular Tortie as...
