Hi Everyone,

I wanted to introduce myself. I joined the site today after spending a long time going through the forums and reading the wonderful recommendations and advice found here! I rescued Mindy, my now five month old kitten, from a no kill shelter in January and a month later adopted Comet, a four month kitten, from a foster parent. They are besties and spend a long time grooming and sleeping with each other. I am learning a lot about cats and myself by watching and playing with them. They are both my first pets :) Ironically, I was a dog lover and I hated cats for a long time...it wasn't until I met my friend's kitten that I fell in love with the feline race! I couldn't resist and got my own :) Now, I wish I had cats a long time ago. I am very newww to cats and having a pet so I'm very happy to be here :)

Enjoy the pictures!!

Dolly

 to TCS! Mindy and Comet are adorable and they definitely seem inseparable. Welcome to the Cat Side, too - we have catnip (we're glad you didn't join the Dog Side - just kidding!) 
 I'm sure you'll learn a lot about our feline friends here.

Haha, thank you!! My cats still don't understand catnip. I was told they won't appreciate it until they're 6 months old!

Welcome to the site!

Your babies are so cute, I love that they are best friends already. I am sure they will bring you tons of joy.

Welcome to the forum!  Your babies are adorable. 

As for catnip, some cats never like it.  My Toogie thought it quite beneath his dignity if I tried to give him a catnip toy.  Others just adore it.

Welcome, newbie here too. Your kitties are beautiful. I envy their love for each other since Tiki is an "only" and so spoiled that I doubt that he would like to share. :kitty:
