I'm a new gal on the block! Well I'm 23 and living in Dubuque right now with my fiance but I'm really from Chicago. All my life I've had no less than 3 cats and 2 dogs so when we moved to Dubuque we waited a few years and finally last June we got our girl Thumper! She is a russian blue. She's a really sweet, funny cat. She's pretty smart too, at 2 months old, she started bringing us her kitty scooper when she wants her litter box cleaned! She loves taking car rides. My fiance Bill, who was at first allergic to cats, but after 6 years of being around all my cats got over that, is completely in love with her. It really is adorable. Well sorry for going on so much! I tend to talk about her alot! I'm really excited about meeting every one here!
