Just thought I'd say hello. I had already started a thread in the Health and Nutrition section that received many helpful replies, many thanks!


We have two kitties (both are domestic short hairs). We adopted Ebony about 7 years ago -- we think she is around 8 years old. She's a very sweet, affectionate kitty, who can occasionally be a little temperamental (I suppose she is a typical cat
).

A couple of weeks ago, we also rescued a second kitty who we've named Sofie. Our vet thinks she is about 12-14 years old. We found her wandering around our neighborhood, and after a bit of investigation discovered that she had been a stray in the area for at least three months. She seemed incredibly sociable, and it did not take long for us to grow fond of her. Unfortunately, she had a cancerous tumor on her front paw, which has resulted in a leg amputation. She is in the clear for now, but will have to have further tests in 6-9 months to make sure the cancer has not spread anywhere else.

We also have a couple of retired racing greyhounds. They have not yet met Sofie, but they are both terrified of Ebony. The cats definitely rule the house around here (as it should be
).

Nice to meet you all!

Hi & welcome to TCS!


It is so wonderful that you have rescued Sophie! Obviously she was either lost or abandoned, and must have been so scared trying to fend for herself.
She must be the happiest cat on the face of the earth these days!

Thanks for the lovely welcome, all! I'm having fun just browsing through the forums at the moment, and checking out all of the gorgeous avatars and signature pics of your kitties!!

I'd love to post some pics of my crew when I figure out how to, also.



ps LokisMum, yes I love "Keeping Up Appearances", and own the entire series on DVD.

Well, welcome! You'll find quite a number of Britcoms fans on here! Do you pronounce your username bucket or bouquet?

Welcome to tcs Hyacinth


I can't believe you chose that nickname however, as I'm from England I can only hope that it doesn't come back to haunt you

I would get her fixed and keep her inside but it is your choice and if you want her out please spay her first so a male cat stays away and also it might save her life.
