Hi everyone

I've been lurking for a few weeks and finally decided to join in! I live in Arizona (Phoenix area), married for 22 years and have 3 boys.

I have one cat, a 1-year old named Shelly. She is my fur baby we adopted from a rescue organization which adopts out cats at Petsmart. We've had her for 7 months and we love her to pieces! We got her only a couple of weeks after our other cat, Reina went over the bridge. We had Reina for 16 years, and I still miss her terribly. I hope to get another cat when we move somewhere larger, maybe next year!

Here's Shelly:







Here's Reina, who turned this formerly exclusively dog person into a cat person. I miss her so much...:

Thank you for the welcome!

Yes, my Shelly looks long in that picture, but she's just a normal, everyday 10-lb. kitty. She just likes to lay down on her belly and really s-t-r-e-e-e-t-c-h until she can't possible stretch any more. We call it her ferret imitation. Sometimes she's stretched like that and has her front paws out in front of her and her head in between them. Then we call her "Supercat"!

She's silly and very cute! She has really helped fill the hole in my heart from losing Reina.

Thank you for more welcomes!

And, I'm so glad to see fellow Zonies here!

Michael, your kitties are adorable! It's so cute when they're such great friends. Are they siblings? And they each get their own recliners! What a life!
By the way, where in Rocky Point did you take those pictures in your photo album? We always want to go there but have no idea where to stay!
