We`re BAAAACCKKKK!!! :)

Hey everbody! Hope you have all been well and healthy!

Just wanted to share some pics of Alley(the alley cat!) in her (pretty much)full grown state.We are doing fine and Alley has grown up to be my spoiled lil girl.Even though she is my first ever feline I feel like I`m kind of an experienced cat person now(sure that will change!).She is a dream pet...no COMPANION...and we have both learned a lot about each other.I love my girl and have learned to respect her as an individual and don`t try to CATagorize her anymore(sorry!)

I feel very blessed that she has been healthy and good natured in all aspects of catdom.I can not complain(other than she is an occassional leg attacker)at all.She`s my buddy! Love this site and wanted to say "thanks!" to all the members who have given me good advice and information(as well as sharing some wonderful stories!).

God Bless!

(please excuse the dirty carpet as I took these pics prior to my weekly bachelor pad cleaning/vacuuming!...Sorry!)

God bless you too. It's so nice to provide a sweet animal a furever home. They can bring out the best in us.

HosMan!!!
So nice to have you back!!!! And to see her all grown up... what a treat! I remember when you just found her on the Alley... was still debating if you were going to bring her in or not... you both cam a long way! I see she made her way into your heart like only these amazing kitties know how to do!
She is a beauty!
Please stick around! You got a family here!

Thanks so much the both of you!

Yeah,Alley(the alley cat!)has become my true companion and buddy.Now I finally understand all those "silly" cat people and how they would describe their cats not as pets but as family members and/or friends. Alley has grown up healthy,strong and (by and large) with no behavior or other problems.I feel pretty lucky on that count.They really do have their own individual personalities and characters don`t they?My "silly gurl" is loving but not an extreme cuddler.She does sit on my lap for petting or just to snooze sometimes(this is getting more frequent the older she gets)and will generally follow me around.

The only thing I feel kind of guilty about is that she does`nt have access to a safe,fenced in outside play area. I know Alley has a very good life with me but I can`t help feeling bad for her because we both live in a smaller 1 bedroom duplex. If I could afford it I would live in a larger place and also rescue another cat to give my Alley a playmate.Oh well,some day.

I just love those black cats. Alleycat is beautiful. Welcome back to the Cat Site.

Awww, she's beautiful! Sounds like you 2 were meant to be!

Awwwwww!!!!!

Alley is a doll-baby! She looks so sleek and healthy and gorgeous.

Thank you all so much! Alley has been a real godsend for me in many ways.I have more patience,I have the joy of taking care of something and my reflexes are much quicker than before(!).

She`s a good cat and I look forward to the next 15+ years with her.
