Hello from Norway

Hi my name is Katrine and am owned by Anastasia (1.5 years old). I joined this site to talk with fellow cat lovers, even though I can be a bit busy sometimes. I also think I know another member on this forum, but I don't know her username yet

Anastasia is the sweetest girl. She doesn't like to be cuddled with and may run away from you if you reach out to her, but she's very well behaved and kind. Never scratches or bites hard. She scratches the scratching posts only and some rugs. I also taught her how to roll over on command.

She does want to cuddle sometimes, but on her own terms. She'll make a sort of sqeak and start kneading on me. She always kneads when she wants to be petted. My girl LOVES to play (also has a fascination about water) and is very talkative. She follows me around too. I love love love her

Last week I found out she has some serious health problems (and because of the antibiotics and the need to change her food she's now constipated as well), but I hope she'll be fine eventually. I'm in close touch with the vet's office.

I also help out at an animals shelter with cats only. They will also take in a few bunnies this summer. I'm quite addicted to going there.

Here is my darling girl (she's also a Maine Coon btw):

Hey welcome to TCS

thats one pretty kitty

Dang! Look at those ear tufts!! She's stunning!
Oh.. and welcome to TCS!!

HI Katrine! Aww...Anastasia is looking great. Tolly Mazy and Jennie also say "Hai Antee Katrine, Wekom!"

Wow, Anastasia is STUNNING! What a beauty! Welcome to TCS!

Hi Kat and Anastasia, it's Aunteee Che.

Glad you made it too sweetie.

Big fluffy hug to the gawjusss girl. xxxxx

Welcome to TCS!

Your girl is absolutely beautiful I look forward to seeing more of you (and her!) around the site

Welcome! My "kids" Rocky, Moose and Lucy say hello. It's exciting for me to "meet" someone from Norway, as I am of Norwegian descent.
Anastasia's personality sounds a lot like Lucy. Lucy wants loving on her own terms, when she's ready.
I hope Anastasia feels better soon!
Cathy

WELCOME FROM BELLA AND ME!!!!!!! Anastasia is GORGEOUS. I would love to come to Norway just to give her a big smooch!!!!!

Hi Katrine. Your cat sounds so loving and full of personality. She's beautiful. Welcome to TCS

Thanks for making me feel welcome I didn't get any notifications on my email about all the replies, so I was quite surprised. Thanks a lot!

Big hugs to all of you and especially "Che" and "Otto"

Done!

How do I get an avatar? It says something about me not being allowed to have one, also signatures.

There are several stickies at the top of the New Cats on the Block forum. All About TCS Member Titles & Perks
tells you when you can start using things like avatars and signatures. Mostly it's a matter of being a member of TCS for a specified length of time and having a minimum number of posts. Of course, if you join as a paying member most of the restrictions go away.

How are you of Norwegian descent? Do you know where your ancestors came from? Say "hi" back from me and Anastasia. Meow! xoxo

Thanks! This inspires me to post more. How clever, hehe.

Welcome Katrine, Anastasia is beautiful.

Katrine, I missed part of your first post, the part about Anastasia being ill. I am very sorry to hear it, and hope you will start a thread sharing the details with us, (that is if you want to.) I am very fond of her Royal Highness and hungry for details of her!

I will do that tonight (my time), I'm going away for the afternoon to visit my family. I'd love to share everything about Anastasia in general. Good and bad

Hi, Katrine! Anastasia is, indeed, gorgeous! Those pics of her made me gasp! Beautiful girl - and I hope she's feeling better soon.

Welcome to TCS! I'm of Norwegian descent myself! As my mom in Minnesota always says, "solid Norwegian" - both sides of the family...hehe. One of my grandfathers came from Voss. I'm not exactly sure where the rest came from.
