Hello everyone My names Carrie and am new to TCS, I already like it here and am slowly getting the hang of things. I am an all around animal lover I would bring home every one of them I could find if I could but unfortunatly I don't have the room for that, so I've limited my self to my 6 fish tanks 2 cats and my doggy. Sage (my 7 yr old doggy) is a huskey mix the vet seems to thinks there's asian wolfhound and shepard mixed in there to. I've had him since he was about 4 weeks old (his mother stopped feeding the little for some reason) and he's been my best friend since. Cinnamon is my beautiful 11 month tortie who deffinatly has the tortie attitude I got her from a cat rescue center back in june she is the most affectionate and talkative kitty i've ever seen mostly following my family and myself from room to room wanting to be included in everything that we do. She's my little hunter and makes that cute little chipmunck chatter noise while huntng flies and such that get into the house. But most of the time when she's not following us or hunting for flies she can be found batting around sage's tail as he wags it around for her to play with I was amazed at how close they've gotten so quick. And last but not least there's little Bell. Who got her name from where I found her. I'm a Manager at a local Taco Bell and we found her hiding in a corner of our bathroom there where someone must have carried her in and left her. So I put her in a box with some towels and brought her home with me but fell in love with her and have decided to keep her. She's still a little frightened but she's adjusting well, I have hopes that she'll fit right in with sage and cinnamon and in time instead of comming home to find just two I'll find all three wrapped up in eath other laying on the couch dreaming. I've post pics of them all as soon as I reach the 5 post limit and am able to. ( sorry for this being so long but I just love talking about my little ones)

Welcome to Tcs. I have 4 cats and will be getting a kitten soon. My Oldest is 16.5 years old and the youngest turned 1 last Friday. Do you like carebears. I notice that is your screen name. My sister loves them. I used to be a Operations Mgr at a food place until we moved. Your cats will sleep together soon. Mine do sometimes. Sometimes 2 are together.

thank you all very much for the warm welcome. Since it's been so long since I've had a little kitten in the house i imagine that I'll be around quite a bit and probably asking some really ridiculous questions so you all should be prepared for me to drive you crazy. I do love carebears very much and have since i was very little back when they first appeared and since i loved them so much and my names Carrie my mother gave me the nickname carebear when i was around 3 years old and it just stuck now not only my mom and dad but my grandparents and siblings and anyone else who happens to hear it call me that as well lol I've gotten so used to it sometimes I'll answer to it faster than my actual name.

And just while I'm here does anyone have any suggestions for teaching a cat what her name is cinnamon wasn't named by me but by the shelter and since i already had a sage I figured a cinnamon would be cute as well so i kept it. but she doesn't seem to recognize it or she just flat out ignores me could be either lol and was hoping that with bell i might have some better luck.

Thank you for the wonderful introduction!
I can't believe someone left a kitty in the Taco Bell bathroom but I guess that was lucky for Bell


Welcome!

Hello & welcome to tcs. You have cute furkids. As to cats getting used to their name, just keep saying it when you are with her.
