Hello everyone, I just signed up for the forums. I have two young adult kitties, Lexi and Lincoln. They are not true brother and sister but they have adopted each other as part of the family.
Lexi is a petite black & white gal, about three and a half years old, who loves to play and chase her strings and watch birds in the back yard through the sliding glass door. She was the first feline member of our family. About a year later we got Lincoln and he is our big boy (and I mean literally.) He weighs in at more than 18 pounds (hey, give him a break, he's big boned!)and "That's a big cat!" is the standard reaction he gets when meeting someone new. But he's a real lover and most mornings can be found suggled up beside me somewhere on the bed. He's also quicker than you'd think to look at him and just the other morning he caught a mouse in the basement. Lincoln is his name, but he might think "Buddy" is his nickname because I call him that so often.
We adopted them both from the shelter close to where we live. I really hate to think of all the cats shut up in those cages all day long, or worse if they don't find a home. I'd like to adopt "one more" but my wife says two is plenty! Oh well, maybe I'll talk her into it eventually.
Well, that's it for now. I'll try to put up a photo of them soon.
