Hello everyone! I just stumbled across this site while doing some research and found it to be very attractive so I just signed up! My name is Sherri and I'd like to introduce Nikki to you.

Nikki has the most unique personality I have ever seen in a cat (and I've been owned by many over the years
). He is kind, trusting, affectionate, and SPOILED ROTTEN! What makes him very special is that he was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy -- a heart disease where areas of heart muscle enlarge and thicken – at the age of 6 weeks. After researching many cases of the feline disease, I found that the average life span of cats with this genetic disease is 5 – 7 years. I am happy to say that he just celebrated his 11th birthday this past Valentineâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s Day. He is considered to be a significant part of my family and my life. His spunk and energy keep me going through hard times when they arise (most recently my grandmother's passing). He is loved very much.

I look forward to being a part of such a resourceful and fruitful forum. I am more than happy to participate and offer any advice I can give any of you or, at the least, share in your little furball's adventures!

Sherri, the fact that Nikki has just celebrated her 11th birthday is amazing! That just goes to show what a wonderful mommy she has.
I look forward to hearing more about her and seeing a picture as well.

Hi Sherri! Welcome to TCS! and welcome to Nikki! He sounds so special and obviously has a fantastic Mummy.
I'm sorry about your Grandmother, I lost my Grandad too a few weeks ago and it is hard but I had my kitties there to make me smile.
Looking forward to getting to know you better!

Thanks everyone! I am SO excited to be a part of this forum. It's such a wonderful site! I'd love to share some pics of Nikki but I have to figure out how to insert the images first. I'll get to it this weekend. He's a cutie! I'll get to add my profile too. Work is demanding and all the extra time I can find I spoil my cat with! LOL You all understand!

Pombina - I am so sorry to hear about your grandfather. Although they live a fullfilled life and nature just takes its course, it hard. Grandfolks are special.

Thanks again everyone, I look forward to getting to know you all and your little furballs
