Just joined and want to say "Hi!"

I have a full house full of kitties, 13 in all.  All indoors.  They mostly get along well, and they even tolerate the dogs!  Although one of the dogs is afraid of THEM!

I count 12, are we missing one?  Oh wait, is the 13th your avatar?  

I'm impressed, 13 cats all indoors!  Wow.  That is a lot of cats.  And there are dogs, too....

Welcome to TCS!    I look forward to hearing more about your tribe.

Yes!  You guessed it!  The 13th is Bee Gee, in the avatar.  She has a page here on TheCat Site, no one else does yet.  So I just added all the other's photos here.

I'm having trouble following kitty pages.  I have met a couple kitties who I would like to follow but don't know how.     Am I only able to follow members but not individual kitties?  I guess I can bookmark them. 

Thanks for the welcome!  I'm happy to be here! 

Thanks!  Yes, the 13th kitty is in the avatar, that's Bee Gee.  She's the only one who has her own page here so far.

I won't start any more pages for awhile until I'm more familiar with finding my way around.  Thank you so much for the welcome!

Welcome! You have such a huge brood! I can't believe they all get along, I'm going to have to have a talk with my two, who seem to pick on each other, and show them all of yours! I envy you with so many, my husband won't let me have any more, but he says when he's gone he knows I'll have a house full. He didn't say anything about outside cats so I feed an ever changing crowd out there! Good luck and hope you have many wonderful years.

Thank you for the welcome!  I have to say that it's actually almost all my hubby's fault we have so many!  We live in a rural area and are always having cats dumped out here.  We always end up bringing them inside.  THEN we end up keeping them!

As an example, In the photos, Little Miss was one who was dumped here several years ago, and had kittens under our neighbors house.  After a couple months we decided it was too dangerous to leave them all outside, so we brought them all in.  By that time the mama cat was VERY comfortable with us, and it was no big deal for the kittens.  They were very tame already.  I made arrangements with a local rescue group to have them all adopted, but at the last minute - and I mean the LAST minute - my husband decided he just couldn't part with them!  So we kept mama and 3 babies.  One developed kidney failure and when he was only 4 we had to send him over the bridge.  The other two, Molly and Smokey, are still with us, and so is mama!

Might I suggest a great book for helping to solve problems in a two-cat household?  It's called "Cat vs Cat" by Pam Johnson-Bennett.  In fact, I've been able to utilize some of her advice in our crazy multi-cat household!  At first I checked it out at the library but decided it was a keeper so I now have my own copy on my bookshelf.

How can I find your kitties here?  I'd like to visit them.  Thanks again for the welcome!  Have a fantastic day, and kiss  your kitties in the forehead for me!

Welcome, Allmomskitties and all of her kitties! What a beautiful family you've got. You are awesome for taking all of these guys in and giving them such a wonderful home. I can't say that I blame your husband for changing his mind and deciding to keep them. 

Hey! I know you!!! Finally,someone I know  

Wow!!!!! Soooo many kitties! We just acquired a 3rd and that feels like a lot! We planned for two but just couldn't turn this adorable stray away!

Glad you gave in to the new one!  We never exactly PLANNED on this many, but you know how it can be.

Well, you may be right!  Because all mine seem to want to be on the bed, even though they have their OWN!  AND they all want to eat or use the litter box at the same time.  Kitty see, kitty doo!

Thats right...keep repeating that. Pretty soon,you'll even have yourself convinced

Ah yes, Steve and Bee Gee go back a few years.  "Good friends" from opposite sides of the country, carrying on a vicarious "relationship" online! 

Started on a different website .... which is closing soon ..... so we have been looking for a new place to continue the pandemonium!  .... 

We hope we'll be at least tolerated here..... 

Ahh Hah! So that's the story. I haven't met Steve yet, but maybe soon? Sounds like he may be one that needs watching! Perhaps a little bit of a trouble maker? We all know that Bee Gee would be totally innocent.
