Hi!

I feel bad, I'm one of thsoe "rude noobs" who just dives in posting w/o an introduction!

Well, to make amends, here's my intro!

I'm Paige and I work at an animal shelter. I love my job and it's my profession. I hope to do it forever.

I have two dogs, Cash and LT that I'm gaga for. Cash is a malamute mix (malamutt) and LT is a little black dog. (Spaniely looking mix) I'm way into them and training and their nutrition and all that, so I suspect that will carry over to Harriet!

As a shelter worker, I often get suckered into fostering kittens and I'll tell you what, I love it!
I'm nuts for kittens. Since fostering, I've been thinking that I want cat. I had them as a kid, but not as an "adult". I also felt that kittens wouldn't be the best match in my home. I plan on keeping the dogs and cat seperated when they aren't supervised so that may be difficult for a youngin' who wants to be everywhere all the time.

SO! after some thought and some consideration and some boyfriend finagling, I'm bringing home my most very favoritest kittey EVER, Harriet. She's a fat fat fat brown tabby, who's about 10 years old. She is so like Eric Cartman, it's not even funny. (okay, it is funny!) I just adore her and have for quite awhile. She's been adopted and returned a few times, so this is it. She's coming home forever to be loved.

She'll be coming home tomorrow and I'm so excited, I don't even know what to do!

I have had tons of questions and you guys have been muy helpful
but I'll be asking more!


Okay. That was long. Hehe.

Paige

ROFL...does she like cheesy poofs like Eric, too?

Hey Paige and Harriet:

Welcome (I'm newer than you, so maybe you should welcome me! lol and THANK YOU for adopting sweet girl Harriet into a loving forever home! Adult cats are wonderful, and every cat is precious! Harriet sounds great. I don't know who Eric Cartman is (not into pop culture at all...) but look forward to seeing her picture. Any cat care questions I can help with, don't hesitate -- I've lived with cats all my life, and they're my #1 interest. I currently live with my "9", and 12 are in sanctuary (long story=divorce/relocation/quotas
) BEST to you and yours, and purrz to Harriet from me and mine! I'm also in So Cali, out in the Mojave.
