Hi everyone

Just found this website a couple of days ago while searching for good cat health pages and am totally amazed there is such a huge community!

This is very cool and I'm looking forward to doing lots of posting and meeting other cat lovers of all *ahem* purrsuasians!

Cheers

Jenn (a.k.a. VespaCat)

Thanks Heidi! Nice to meet you.

Your little ones look very cute! I'll definitely post some pics of Mik and Lex at some point soon... I actually showed Mik for a short time and he did quite well, but he liked the housecat life, so he decided retirement was his best option.

As I write this, he is actually asleep on one of his favorite spots... my laptop bag (minus the laptop, obviously!)

Cheers,

Jenn, Mik & Lex

Actually, if you go to www.russianblue.org there are a great many number of RB's to see! And the breeder of my kitties has the best RB in TICA from 2004 (you can see him in the picture).

I thought about breeding at one point, but it's too labour intensive, and just getting my cats to like men in general, and in particular, each time I get a new boyfriend, is difficult enough! My little guys are smart enough to know that men take up *way* too much of my time for their liking.

Thanks Chris! You little ones are very cute indeed!

I am a 2 day old Kitten so I'm still learning the neighbourhood. Another RB? Oh, I'm sure I will get to know Nakita's mom/dad in no time!

How exciting!

Cheers,

Thank you Donna! And what beautiful little ones you have. They look like kitties of the purebred variety

Cheers

Hi Stacey - your little ones certainly are cute! As soon as I graduate to the next level beyond *Kitten*, perhaps I will be able to attach files, so I will be trying very soon!

Cheers

Hi Jenn, and welcome to TCS!

Russian Blues...lucky you! You can, at kitten level, post pictures (not as attachments). You can upload pictures to online hosting sites like Photobucket, Image Shack, etc. They will give you various url's that you can use for different purposes. You then copy and paste the url that have "img" tag on them in the body of your post, and they show up. In all honesty, I have no idea how...part of that internet "voodoo" that I don't understand. As long as you keep the pictures on the hosting site, they will show up here. Personally I use Image Shack, they allow an unlimited amount of pictures, and it's free! My signature below is posted that way.

We're a bunch of picture-lovers here, so we eagerly await some of your babies! Again, Welcome!

Hi Kelly, and thanks for the tips!

I'm definitely looking forward to posting... I just have to have the pictures scanned and e-mailed so I can download them to my laptop (the only computer I own!).

Actually, my laptop bag has two purposes... 1. to actually carry the laptop in, and, 2. as a cat bed for my 5 y.o. RB Mik who sleeps on top of it while I'm online! Actually, Mik has to be in the same room as me at all times, including the bathroom! He's a clingy monster kitty!

I look forward to posting some pics very soon, and actually, now that I've joined TCS, it has inspired me to take some current photos of my meowies.

Cheers

Jenn, Mik & Lex

Thanks Stephanie! I appreciate your offer, and may take you up on it at some point. Your Sierra is absolutely adorable!

I'm hoping to get some photos onto my laptop very soon, so I will definitely keep everyone updated! And I'm looking forward to meeting Nikita, the other RB here on TCS, everyone has been telling me about

Cheers,

Howdy! I see you use RB to refer to Russian Blue. We here at TCS use those letters to indicate Rainbow Bridge when we refer to a cat who is waiting for us there. Usually posted as - my cat Minx (RB). Just to let you know if you see it like that.

Hi Jenn --

I just responded to a post of yours in the Paws and Reflect Forum. We're all crazy about pictures here so I hope you get some up soon. I've always heard about the mystique of Russian Blues -- do they have very intense green eyes ? -- that's one of the things I heard.

I have a little dsh grey tuxedo and love all grey cats!
