Hi there!

I've already posted some here, but I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm from the Netherlands, and the owner of two beautiful cats.
We have a 6 year old mixed breed cat named Bunker, his mother was a lilac point Siamese/oriental shorthair, his father a blue and white British shorthair. His parents were rescues from a puppy and kitten mill, his mom was fostered by a friend of mine when pregnant, along with two other females (her littermates) who also turned out to be pregnant. So within weeks he had a house full of kittens.
We took in two of the kittens, Bunker and his 3/4 brother (moms full sisters, same father) Diesel. They were pretty much bred for colour and not much else, but both were black. Bunker nearly solid black with a small white patch under his chin, Diesel a tuxedo.
Unfortunately Diesel was only with us for 8 months. Our cats do not go outside except for out completely cat proof garden as we live next to a busy road. One day a visitor left both the back door and the garden gate open, Diesel escaped and was hit by a car within 10 minutes.... 5 years ago and it still hurts....
Bunker turned out not to want to be an only cat, he screamed his head off for 2 weeks. So much sooner than planned we picked up another kitten. Kobus, a Thai Siamese breeders reject, as he is severely cross eyed. Really extreme, so he does have bad eyesight. Kobus was the best decision ever, instant friends and Bunker and Kobus are inseparable ever since. They did not need an introduction, love at first sight!

And off course pics:

Welcome to TCS!  
    Bunker and Kobus are lovely and obviously love each other.  My cats are brother and sister and they don't cuddle like that.  This is a terrific resource when it comes to learning about cats and asking for advice.  It is also a great place to make friends as members are caring and friendly and always ready to help out with advice.  I hope you have a good time and remember that we can never have enough pictures.  

Hope to see you around the forums!

Welcome to the site! Your little ones are absolutely gorgeous! You do honor to Diesel's name to pass on his legacy of love, he would never want you to be so sad remembering him. He was in your life for a reason and having him in your life made that time priceless. The bond you have will never be broken.  Your heart is big enough to share it many times over, your love for each one is unique and irreplaceable. Enjoy your little ones each and every second, they will return that love a hundredfold. Kiss them for me!
