HI!

I've been looking around The Cat Site for a while, and found it very informative with a nice community, so I decided to join.

I have had many cats over the years, and currently have three. My oldest, Queen Boudicca, 16, originally belonged to a friend who died in 2007.  I loved this gray tabby ever since I first met her, so I took her in.  In November of 2013 I lost two cats, Kira and Misty, within four days, one of a very aggressive cancer at age12, the other of old age/heart disease (clot) at 19 1/2.   Boudicca reacted badly (as did I), wandering around the house and crying.....for months.

2014 started off much better when my sister-in-law's co-worker needed to find a home for some kittens.  Three feral kittens had been abandoned by their mother at 4 weeks, and she was bottle feeding them.  She could only keep one.  Two of the three were especially close to each other.  Those were the ones I took home in January at 8-9 weeks old.

I named them Luke and Mimi, after Larry Hagman (who was a friend and my favorite actor) and his mother Mary Martin. They called each other Luke and Mimi.  The names suit the cats perfectly, they both want to be the center of attention!

Boudicca stopped crying.  Now she yells - the kittens can be a bit much for the old girl, but they are adjusting...slowly, typical of cats!
