Finally found the time...

...to introduce myself. I joined the forum over a month ago and have been really busy with holidays,
working on the house, and learning to live by our new cat's rules.

My name is Barry, from Northeastern Oklahoma, U.S.A.
I haven't owned a cat since I was a kid but have always admired them for their independence & resourcefulness.
The reason I joined: Iris. She's a female domestic short-hair, orange, somewhere between 4-8 months old. I don't know her exact age
because she was a stray that my aunt found and brought to us.
We didn't plan on getting a pet until my elderly grandfather moved in
with us, and he's loved cats for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately, Iris hasn't really "taken" to him as she loves to run and play and he just can't keep up with her. But I have gotten so attached to her that I would not even consider trading her for any other.
She is well cared for, spoiled, generally well-behaved, much loved, and of course...the cutest kitty in the world!
Sorry for such a long intro, guess I get carried away sometimes.

Glad I found the site. The forums have been very helpful and it seems to be a wonderful community. There's just something extraordinary about all people who love cats. See ya. Barry

Of course, you have a rarity. Well, not rare, but less than common. Someone else can tell you exactly, but I think something like only 10% of yellow cats are female.

It's good she's found a loving home!

Hi Barry and welcome. I know you will love it on here, I haven't been a member for long and I'm hooked. Look forward to speaking to you soon and seeing some pics of Iris. x

Thanks to everyone for making me feel welcome. I'm sure I'll
enjoy my stay here and find answers to all my questions regarding
my cat.
I had no idea that yellow females were uncommon. All the more
reason to spoil her and keep her safe.
Here are a few pics of Iris. They're not very good quality as all I
have is a phone camera. My favorite is the one of her sound asleep
and stretched out on the back of a chair, wish it had come out
better.
