Hi, I joined a couple of days ago just to ask a specific question, but now that I'm here I might as well hang around for a while. This whole forum thing is new to me, so bear with me.
There are 2 cats in our little family: 17 month old Balinese, B'Elanna (aka Banana), who's technically mine, and 18 month old Chinchilla, Zephyr (aka Chicken) who's my husband's. Originally I had planned for my cat to be called Zephyr, but I changed my mind when I could only get a female after waiting for 8 months, so my husband pinched the name and gave it to a cat that virtually has to grunt to haul himself off the floor. Light as air, I think not.
We got the cats to help us through a difficult time when we were having trouble starting a family, and now we find ourselves in the position of being due to have a baby in 5 weeks and with two very spoiled cats who don't know what's about to hit them. I'm sure they've noticed my shrinking lap space, though.
They're fantastic animals - I never thought I'd get such a kick out of having a cat that growls at strangers at the door (B'Elanna), or one that wakes us up at 3am desperate to show us the clothes peg he's just "killed" (Zephyr, the mighty hunter). Don't know what I'd do without them.
