Hi everyone! I have loved cats for all my life and many of my friends don't share the same affinity for them, so I have come here to read about and share the love.

I have 3 kitties as of now, although one is unfortunately a temporary resident in my household.

The first one's name is Artanis. I adopted him as a kitten and have had him for ~1.5 years. Here he is as a kitten and as a cat:




Arty can be a bit touchy sometimes- he's not afraid to bite you to tell you not to pet him anymore, but it's not a hard bite. He can be pretty affectionate. When I got him as a kitten, he couldn't sit still, but I thought he was the most beautiful, adorable kitten I had ever seen. He is still quite a handsome fella.

The second is a kitten I just got and am keeping forever- a Ragdoll named Totoro. There's a long story about him and the other kitten, but I'll save that for another post
Here he is:



He's still a bit scared of everything but when he gets used to things, he's very sweet and ragdoll-ish. I was surprised to see how rambunctious he gets when he plays! It's like he never saw a toy before each time I play with him. Both he and Arty have the softest coats. I could pet them for hours.

The one I am not keeping is from a shelter; his shelter name is Igor. Like I said, long story.. but he's going back
He's such a cutie pie too.



I guess long story short, he was diagnosed with a heart murmur when I took him to the vet for his cough. Originally I was going to keep him for a year and then my mother was going to take him, but neither of us can afford him if his murmur becomes a special need.


Thanks for viewing- can't wait to look around the forum some more.

If I may, let me say WELCOME to the CatSite.

I must say those are beauties you have there. Hope to see more of them in the near future.

And, I do so hope a good forever home can be found for Igor. Those eyes are 'play with me' eyes if I ever saw them.

Thank you!
You read his eyes 100% correctly- he is full of play, even in your lap! I hope he finds the home he deserves. He's such a good kitten and I wish I could've provided for him.
