Just joined the forum to talk to others who love kitties like I do... I am currently the caretaker for 3 darlings, a blue cream calico velcro kitten named Tally, age 6 months, a little orange tabby girl, Sapphire, she came with the name and I have no idea why they would name on orange cat Sapphire??, age approximately 3 years, she's my pretty princess and then there's my beastly, bratty seal point Siamese, Simon age 2 years. Another interesting fact about my babies are they are all Leukemia positive. FeLV+ cats are the only cats I have had for the last 4 years, and this year has been horrible.... I've lost 6 this year total: Buster, Carmella, Martin, Rocket, Dale and Junior. I only lost 2 last year, Teddy and Jericho and the years before that nobody so I have made the decision that I am not taking in anymore positive kids, my heart can't take it anymore
I also have a 9 year old Lhasa Apso that I know is wondering how he ended up in a cat house! He's great with them though, actually he basically ignores them


I've had cats all my life and don't feel complete unless I have at least 1 underfoot, and since taking in Simon I have grown to adore Siamese and hope to have a few healthy ones eventually, but Simon is ornery and I don't think he is going anywhere anytime soon

Hey Katie, welcome to TCS!! Sounds like you have quite the family, huh? You definitely belong on this site, and let me tell you, it is quite addictive!


Sorry for your recent losses...and sooo many, too! My gosh, I don't know how you could possibly bear it, but you are an angel for taking in all those cats!!!
What a great thing to do. Tally sounds fairly young, still kind of a kitten, FUN! I think we all feel the same way on this site--we don't feel complete without cats in our lives. We all have our love for cats in common. That's how we crazy people all wind up here.


So, umm, have fun here! There are a ton of members, so if you have questions, you just about always get an answer. I find this site very helpful.
