Hello and I'm happy to be here 

Our more recent addition (adopted from a shelter a year ago) is Avril, a Russian Blue we adopted as a kitten (so she's 1 now). She is more of the dependent, cuddly type and loves to curl up on my lap when she gets the chance. She had a URI when she came home as a kitten (probably because of the stress of transition and environment of the shelter) but otherwise has been healthy. She's more of the shy one as well, but can be very boisterous (like her brother). She loves to play with catnip toys and the Kitty Kong. 

Here's Avril in our catio:


And now a little bit about me:

I live in the suburbs of Paris, France with my husband. I'm a native of Philadelphia but moved here when DH and I got married (he was born in Paris). I'm a professor of psychology at a local university here and DH recently got hired as a doctor's assistant. We are so blessed to have two wonderful fur-kids and that number will probably stay at two for now. 

Thank you again for this wonderful site and I look forward to some interesting exchanges here.

  Welcome!  Ah ha, having found this post it answers my question about your cats in another thread.   Pierre and Avril are very beautiful and it seems fitting that they are Parisienne. 
   Avril is a very pretty RB girl and quite the poser in your photographs! How incredible she found you as a rescue home.  I look forward to seeing more of you and learning about you and your cats around the site.   My boy is also RB but has led a very pampered and sheltered life so far.  He is also very boistrous!

Thank you for the welcomes.

@MServant  - Avril is the more photogenic one of the two (she's always smiling 
). Both of them have wonderfully soft, silky fur, although Pierre's has more of a DLH feel rather than a Russian Blue feel (since he is a Nebelung). 

Mouse is adorable and very handsome.

Aw, your cats are gorgeous.  Nebelungs are very rare here, at least in my little part of the world.  Welcome to TCS!  It's nice to meet you.
