An introduction

Hello all,

I have posted 2 posts here before and now I realize I should have introduced myself first.  I live in North Carolina and have been married for 33 years.  I have 2 cats.  There's Dagny who wandered into our yard 4 years ago as a 5 month old kitten.  We adopted him and he is a house cat.  (I have some health issues on him I discussed in the other threads).  My second cat is Gatito.  He is 7 years old and is also a house cat.  I adopted him 9 months ago when my 23 year old daughter died 4-11-13.  They are both great cats and I adore them.  I love dogs too, but our 5 year old chocolate lab Savannah escaped her invisible fence outside 1-19-14 (my daughter's birthday) and got killed.  We are heartbroken over that too.  Nothing comparable to the death of our daughter, but just another heartbreak on top of it.

I'm a registered nurse for the past 20 years but have not been able to work since my daughter's unexpected death.

I'm glad that I found you all.  Oh, both my cats are domestic short haired (regular cats of no specific breed )

Below is Gatito.


Now here is my fat cat Dagny.  (I know...he needs to lose weight).

Welcome! You have beautiful kitties!

Welcome to TCS.

You have two beautiful boys !

I am so sorry to hear of all your problems and especially the death of your daughter.  As a mother who has lost children I can understand the pain of that and I am so glad that you have found the love of animals to help you.  This is a wonderful forum and they know a lot about cats and the people here all share the love of these wonderful animals.  

Your cats are very nice and look happy and healthy.  I look forward to getting to know you and hearing about the animals and how they are doing.

Thank you for the welcome!

Hi & welcome to TCS. I'm very sorry to hear about the losses you have had.   I am so glad you have adopted the kitties! 

If you don't mind me asking, where in NC are you? I am in Wilmington!
