:wavey: We are a family of cat lovers in the Chicago suburbs. We recently lost our beloved cat, Jax (domestic shorthair), and are missing the presence of a feline friend in our home. My husband and I have two daughters, ages 8 and 5.

My older daughter, was diagnosed with a cat allergy at age 4, but she lived quite successfully her whole life with Jax.  Her allergist feels that she will be fine with a new kitten entering the home, and we have a deposit down on a one week old Siberian kitten, in the hopes that it will be less allergenic than a shelter cat.  Her reactions are only topical -- sneezing, itchy eyes etc. She does not exhibit wheezing or breathing issues!

We are so excited to get our new kitten in a few months, and I'm sure we will have lots of questions about taking care of her. It's been 14 years since I've had a kitten! I was very glad to find these forums.

No pics yet of the new baby, but I will post as soon as I get some from the breeder!

from me and my three bubbies! Oh my, you're going to love having a new furry baby in the house. Might I ask what breed you're inviting into your home?

I look forward to photos of your new little one! My breeder sent me photos of my Maxie's mom and daddy and him when he was a wee, wee little MC tot. Too cute! Also a great way to get to "know" them before they are actually in your home. Aw...

We are getting a Siberian kitten -- she is a black and silver classic tabby. We can't wait to see what she looks like!

Congrats on the new kitten on the way! I'm also from Chicago :)
I loved the photos our Maine Coon's breeder sent when our girl was a baby.

What color is your Siberian kitten?

Awww sounds pretty! We considered a Siberian when we were looking but ended up going with a Maine Coon, although my brother is considering getting a Siberian in the future.
