Hi everybody,
My name is Teri, and I have a wonderful, unique cat named Luna. She's actually my boyfriend's cat, but since I moved from PA to AZ about a year ago to live with my boyfriend, she has definitely become my cat too. I love her totally and completely, and she certainly seems to feel the same way (thank God).
When I was scanning through the threads I noticed the one about kisses. Luna will sit for hours and just watch me and give me those slow, adorable blinks. The more I do it back to her, the more kisses she gives. It melts my heart every time. She also give kisses me kisses on the lips, she'll come right up to me and put her little mouth right on my lips. My heart swells so much when she does this that I thinks its going to burst.
I'm thrilled to find a site with so many people who love their cats. Sometimes I think people think I'm a little crazy because I talk about Luna so much. But, as I'm sure you'll understand, she's just so great and adorable that I love talking about her.
The main reason that I started looking for cat sites was that here in AZ there's a heartworm breakout. I don't know much about heartworm, so I'm a little concerned. I've done some research and found that it can be contracted from contact with other animals and through mesquitos. Luna doesn't have contact with other animals (we live in a second floor apartment & she's and indoor cat), but she spends a lot of time on the balcony and we have a lot of mesquitos. Does anyone have any info on heartworm? She seems to be fine, but from what I can gather, many animals don't exhibit symptoms of this problem, and it's not a good idea to give over-the-counter stuff for the problem unless you know they have it. She really hates the vet (she's always a mess for two days after the ordeal) and I hate to put her through that if it's not necessary. Any advice or info will be greatly appreciated. Teri
