I just joined today. My name is Jeanine, I'm 20 and my boyfriend and I just bought our first cat togther. I had multiple cats my entire life until I moved out on my own almost three years ago. 3 years without a cat is far too long.
My boyfreind has never had a cat before so he's more than a bit nervous. We adobted Xena (why oh why did her previous owners have to name her that? lol) from Town Cats, a no kill program that keeps kitties in foster homes until they're adobted. She's 6 years old but still playful as a kitten. Once she got used to us (which took less than an hour) she's been super affectionate. Unfortunatly I have aperantly become allergic to cats during these past couple years without realizing it. After a few painful days I've found an allergy medicine that actually works so everything is ok. I posted pictures of Xena here: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44568

Welcome to TCS! Going to check out those pictures of Xena. What a GREAT name! -- Buddy used to named Elliot from the shelter.. but we changed it, he does not even seem to mind.

Welcome to TCS, Jeanine! Congratulations on your new cat & thank you so much for coping with your allergies and keeping the cat!!
As for her name, you could see if she will respond to another one. I'm a firm believer that cats & horses have preferred names, just like we do. I got a horse called "Duke" but he would respond only to Kessler. And a cat I adopted was named "Maxi" - and she refused to even look at me when I called her that, not to mention the reactions the name got from my teen daughters & their girl friends. The cat would come to "Tobie" so I named her Miss Tobie (but she would come to Gata, also!) Please visit often & let us know how you're doing with your allergies!! Susan
