Boast about my babies??? Yes, please!

We have three - Patches, 13, is our Queen.  Amy is around 8

years old is and is our butterball with the beautiful eyes.  Garwood shares a birthday with our first granddaughters and is our packed-with-personality special needs Cornish Rex. 

Welcome to the Cat Site! You have three beautiful kitties. Garwood is lucky to have you to take care of him. You will have to share your stories with us.

Thank you!  I'm looking forward to it. And looking forward to reading other's stories as well.  

Hello Lakedweller620, Patches, Amy and Garwood, welcome to TCS

Your kitties are lovely! Glad that you've joined us.

Feel free to ask questions and post more photos of your kitties and do check out the rest of the site. There are many interesting topics and articles to read and also you can join the fellow forumers in their discussions and share your experiences with us

@Lakedweller520  Great names and  great cats. Welcome!

@TabbyTom  @JimSteel  Thank you so very much!  I'm glad I happened onto this site....it's pretty stinkin' amazing!  

And I wanted to share a bit more about our kitties....Particularly Gar. But to tell Gar's story, I need to tell you about Patches and Pieces - the kitties in my profile pic. 

We adopted Pieces from a neighboring farmer when we moved to rural Michigan.  He was shy and skittish, at first.  Eventually, he warmed up to me and became (literally) MY GUY.  

Patches joined our family about 4 months after Pieces when a random visitor pulled up in our driveway trying to find homes for the two kittens someone else had dropped off at her house.  We were able to take just one and chose Patches.  I was surprised at how well the two kitties hit it off.
Laying in the sun, dozy-ing. <3 

Your cats are lovely, and it's wonderful the way you found Garwood, such a sweet Cornish Rex! Welcome to TCS, I hope that to see lots more pictures of your kitties!!

Lakedweller520, so sorry to hear about Pieces but glad that Patches did all she could to comfort you as as she was Pieces good buddy too and probably she is seeking comfort from you in return.

So glad that Garwood has captured your heart as much as Pieces did and what a joy that Garwood settles well in the family especially with your son

Do continue to post their photos as we have lots of threads on cats doing their stuffs

tabbytom many thanks for your kind words...so blessed to share life as we do! [emoji]128579[/emoji] Super yay on the pics! Seen some beautiful kitties ... will share too.

Welcome to TCS.  This is a great place for all info regarding our feline friends.  The support you will receive amazing, you won't be sorry you joined.

All your babies are beautiful.  I especially have a thing for big ears, right @TabbyTom  - Garwood reminds me of the early pictures of your sweet boy January.

I lost my two babies last year for different reasons, so I'm living vicariously through the members until we adopt a new member or two.  Right now it's been emotional thinking about replacing them, even though I know I will when the time is right, but for now, all the TCS kitties I consider mine. LOL

I look forward to following your stories.  They are all so special.

Best to you, and again Welcome .

Warmest regards, Hope

It's rough, they were my special kitties.  However, there are many out there who are special and are in need of love, so when the times right we'll open our home.

I actually was looking at a couple of special needs, 2 had an eye missing due to disease, so I'm very interested in learning on the special care that's involved with Garwood, if any at all.

Best to you and your sweet family.

@2Cats4everLoved  We've not had any issues with either of Gar's eyes.  The one that was injured was surgically removed and the eyelid sewn/healed shut.  You've seen what their face looks like when an eye is missing - I'm sure Gar's is the same but if you'd like a picture of what his "non-eye" eye looks, I can post or send it to you.    

Only having one eye doesn't seem to bother or affect him at all - of course, I don't even notice he's missing an eye unless something happens - like a jump onto our bed that he *just doesn't quite make* .... lol.  It happens a lot less frequently than I would've expected.  

As far as prospective kitties for you - Id only be concerned if about the missing eye due to disease if it was a disease that could continue to affect vital organs OR if the corrective surgery wasn't done well or by reputable vets.  But I'm fairly sure those are things you've already considered.   

@imjustacatmom  Aloha and thank you!  I've appreciated the warm welcome we've received! Some of the articles I've been able to check out have been really REALLY good. Much respect to all.
