Hi,

I have been a long-time lurker and I finally posted a few days ago on the "Caring for Strays/Ferals" forum. I thought I should formally introduce myself.
My husband and I have two one-and-a half year old cats, Itchy and Scratchy. Itchy is the female and she is my gal pal. She loves to snuggle. Scratchy is male and he is the trouble-maker. He picks on his sister and loves to play. He is also quite the acrobat and will flip 4 feet in the air when we play fetch!
We have been planning on taking home a new kitten on Sunday from a neighbor who has a litter of kittens. We are thinking of naming him "Rowdy."
We planned to stop at 3 cats but we just took in a feral kitten yesterday who is nameless at this point. I just can't come up with the right name for her!
I did not grow up with cats, but my husband did. My in-laws have any where from 7-10 cats at any given time. I started volunteering at an animal shelter about almost 2 years ago, and soon after we got Itchy and Scratchy.
Here are some pics:

Thanks for the warm welcome! I uploaded some of my favorite pics to photobucket as suggested.
Here are photos of Itchy (black) and Scratchy (orange/white tabby):




We bring home Rowdy tomorrow morning. Our feral kitten seems to be doing okay. Lots of excitement in our household!

no pics of our feral kitten yet, although we did decide to name her Maggie.

Hi there Kristin

It's so great what you do for the animal shelter and the wonderful home you have provided for these homeless kitties. I know what you are saying about stopping at 3 kitties - last November we had 2. Now we have 5
