Hello Everyone! I'm so glad to have found this site. I had cats earlier in my life and then became a dog person for awhile, though still loving my mom's cats. When Mom passed in 2009, I "inherited" her cat Sparkie, who had become very special to me. She's so special to me because she's a living link to my mom. She's 14 and I love her dearly. Hope to share some comments and questions with you as time goes on.
