Hi everyone!

I am new to this site, but love it already! I live in Tampa, FL with my 2 orange tabbies, Squirt and Joey. Everyone here has been really friendly and helpful. You have renewed my faith in the internet.

Hello All!

My husband, John, our cat Fergus, and I live in Fayetteville, NC (or Fayette-nam due to the artillery shelling at Ft. Bragg). We are a new family, just married in July,2000, and new cat parents in November. We own an Internet business and both have other jobs, but really just want more time to spend with each other and our kitty.

We enjoy this forum and look forward to getting to know you and your kitties better!

Hi there! I'm Jeff. I'm from Ohio. I'm a Security Officer and single. Age:49. I love cats! Used to have a cat named Puff, or sometimes we called her Kitty. Makes sense, right? lol! Don't have any cats of my own now, but I still love them! Enjoy coming to a site that is all about cats. God bless you for your efforts!

Just for the record and to add to this post, I'm 34 and live in Sunny Jacksonville, Florida with my 2 furballs. Everyone here lives so far away from each other I've noticed. Well, more diversity that way, right? - Chuck

Well, Chuck, Tampa isn't too far away, in the grand scheme of things. I visited your profile on yahoo! Interesting that Jaws was your inspiration. Why? When I was a kid, I spent time with my best friend on Martha's Vineyard while Jaws was being filmed. It was quite an experience! I most remember the mechanical sharks, which were house at the local beach club. They kept them hoisted up on these huge derricks. When we went to the film's premiere that fall, the entire audience was in shock, but my friend's mother kept pointing out people she knew who had been hired as extras! My friend did a lot of babysitting for the family that rented their house out to be used as Chief Brody's in the film.

Wow Deb! My new best friend! I've been to MV as well, but it was in 88' right after some friends and I made a spoof of Jaws. There was even a newspaper article written about us in the Vineyard Gazette. So, by some chance, do you have or know someone that has personal pics taken at the time it was being filmed? I am completely jealous of course, that you were there when it was filmed. That is VERY cool! It's still my favorite movie to this day. E-mail me if you'd like. I'd love to hear more.

Hi, I'm Rene, I live in Colchester, Connecticut with my husband Clint, my two girls age 16 and 20 (she is in college), our 21 cats, four dogs and we do animal rescue, specializing in cats. Sandie and Donna are my volunteers and my friends. With so many people from so many places it feels like we have friends all around the world!

Hi!

I'm Donna and I don't know where I live at this point! I sleep in Wethersfield with my 8 cats and spend MOST of my time in Colchester at Rene's house or shlepping my cats to the vet for any number of reasons. I am a staff writer for a newspaper and do volunteer work with Rene's rescue organization. She and Sandie are two of my very best friends. I absolutely love the volunteer work I do. I am the "public relations liaison" (I'd prefer to be called PR DIVA) for the rescue group and LOVE being around cats (sometimes more than people).
