Hi all, I am new to this message board but not new to message boards. I hand out on a horse one. Horse forums get quite fierce.

Anyways, I love cats. Even though I grew up riding I always said cats were my favorite animal. You can't cuddle with a horse in bed or watching tv! I have about a billion cat stories. And honestly I can understand not having cats as your favorite animal but I cannot understand hating them. I think some people just don't let themselves get to know a cat.

I own one cat and my husband one cat. My cat is Himalayan cross who knows what (my mom purchased her from someone who claimed she was purebred but a "throw-back". My mom didn't know what Himalayan cats looked like and frankly she didn't care as for whatever reason cats were scarce at the time).

My husband's cat was from a friend who couldn't say know to two kittens in a box looking for homes. My husband then boyfriend had never had a cat before so I took one for him. He is a serious cat lover like me and I think it was the second best gift i ever gave him. Our 16month old daughter is the best lol.

We have a whole album on our computer of just cat pictures. Actually I feel like I am at a meeting right now...

Hi, my name is Heidi, and I am a cat lover...

anyways photo of Cleopatra and Tirzah

I don't think I'd ever get out of bed if those two were around making me sleepy!

It is hard. Specially since cleo, the torby, sleeps under the covers right next to you at night. Tirzah sleeps at my feet. Sounds sweet but sometimes when I wake up and my foot has come out from under the covers I find her wrapped around it. If I so much as move she attacks. She actually used to stalk my feet all the time but now she leaves it to night time when I am vulnerable.

We always call her Cleo. My husband named her Cleopatra because he wanted to give her a name that matched Tirzah's. So it wouldn't be something like "tirzah and fluffy"

Welcome!!! I know you from another board where we both have different names. I put it all together when I saw the same pic of the barn kittens, which, btw, are just lovely kitties, and your house cats are too.
