Hi! I just wanted to say that I am so glad that I found this forum. Although I have had cats since I was about 7 years old - now add 51 years to that, I am still learning about these amazing creatures. I am now lovingly controlled by three - Sophie, a 6 year old princess with Cleopatra eyes and a body that most closely resembles a furry black football; Molly is 3 and a beautiful and very intelligent tuxedo - she really rules the roost; finally there is little Oliver, who is also a tuxedo with very short legs and - almost from the day I brought him home - has had health issues. Now, I have only had him two months, but he is so affectionate and dear, that I don't resent a dollar (give or take $500) that I have spent on him! All three have been adopted from shelters - and I believe these cats KNOW that they are special and give more unconditional love then the average cat. They are all wonderful and, for me, they are the joy to my day. So, it is nice to find a place where others are as nuts about their cats as I am about mine! Again, I look forward to meeting many of you. By the way, I have never really joined in a forum before, so I hope this is the way to do it!
