Hello all!
I'm a newbie here & am thrilled with this really awesome website!
I'm Lisa & live in Northern Calif (small coastal town), love cats, have had cats all my life (I'm 50-something so that's lots of cats!). A few years ago I worked with a local rescue group doing fostering/adoptions/spay-neuter help; I loved fostering! especially the kittens! But I'm now in a smaller apartment so can't foster anymore, but I have 10 wonderful kitties! All are "rescue", spayed/neutered, indoor only and are endlessly amusing, affectionate, quirky (and sometimes a bit of a pain-in-the-you-know-what) . I'm so sorry I don't have any pictures yet as I'm in the process of upgrading my ancient computer & currently only have access on my lunch hour at work, so please be patient...believe me I'd love to show them off!
Until I can get some pictures, I'd like to introduce them with a brief description of each (will try to be brief...I could write volumes about each one tho...). They are ages 15 to 7, 2 males & 8 females, all pretty healthy & they more-or-less "grew up" together (I got them all as kittens) so they get along remarkable well:
Mouse, 15yrs female, my beautiful long-haired brown/black tabby...my oldest & only long-haired kitty. Aka "Princess Mouse Flufftail". She's hyperthyroid, but stable on methimazole. I'm lucky in that she's a dream to pill! altho Pill Pockets are really great...she lets me know when it's time for her pill!
Tommy & Tina, 10yrs female siblings, tabby/white bi-color. Tommy was a boy until I took "him" to be neutered LOL! I just kept the name. They're a bit fussy but very sweet.
Kyra & Sasha, 9yrs male siblings, the absolutely sweetest cats I've ever had! Kyra is the "alpha" or dominant male, very smart & is mostly white w/tabby markings on head & tail (think Turkish Van), he also has these killer blue/green eyes. Sasha is a striped brown tabby who would live on my shoulder if he could! He jumps up onto me from the floor & has learned to keep his claws in (thankfully!).
Tiffany, Minnie Mouse, Daniella, 8yrs female, unrelated; Tiffany is a little calico-tortie/white bi-color & has tons of personality! Minnie is a sweet little striped brown tabby, and Daniella is mostly white with faint gray markings on head/tail.
Honey & Tawny, 7yrs female siblings. Honey aka "Pudge Pie" (she's fat) is very very sweet & has the most endearing little meow. Tawny is really quirky but also very sweet, very vocal. They are a really strange color (I can't wait to get those pics)...sort of a dilute (light gray/apricot) tabby/tortie & have blue eyes. As kittens I thought they would by lynx-points but their fur got darker as they got older.
Well, that's my cat-family! I will try to get some pictures as soon as I can...and sorry for the long post! I'm looking forward to checking out all the really great stuff on this fantastic website!
