Hi everyone! Just found these forums.. looks great and thought I'd join and say hello.


I've had cats my whole life, mostly at my parents house, one in the parking lot at my work that I fed for a year, one at a friends house, but just recently my landlord finally changed the rules and I am able to have a cat of my own!


This is Zoey.. she's a year old and I believe she is part Russian Blue. I got her at my local shelter a couple of months ago. Her owners surrendered her for biting
and even requested for her to be put down
She grew up around kids so I believe that is the root of her biting problems. She is not malicious in any way, she just gets a little hyper when in play mode and thinks mommy's hands are toys.
But I have been working with her to correct the problem and have started her on Flower Essences.



Oh and btw, how do I add a picture underneath my name?

Just wanted to welcome you to the boards! This place really is great and quite addicting!


Zoey is a beautiful cat...definitely part Russian Blue in her!

As for adding a pic to your signature, go to user cp and edit profile. Then just put in the img tags like you did with these pictures and you should be good to go. If you have any problems, just holler...most of us have had issues with these things in the past & are quite happy to help out the newbies!

Once again, Welcome & happy posting!

OOPS! Sorry about that!

If you go to User cp and then edit options. There are many avatars to choose from, but unfortunately you won't be able to use your own custom picture until you reach 300 posts. But like I said, there are so many neat pics to choose from right now & before you even know it'll you'll get to customize it.

Hope this helps you!

Umm...dunno about that. Maybe since you're just started posting, you are limited to how many avatars to choose from. When I clicked on there, there is many to choose from but it might be that way for me since I've got so many posts. I'm sure someone else will pop in here and set it straight for us.

I know all about message board addiction
I run a large music forum and belong to various other forums. I was debating signing up here because I knew it would be one more forum on my addiction list.. but I couldnt resist!!

Hi Sicy - welcome to the board!
Zoey is adorable... she does look much like the few Russian Blue kitties I've seen.


And you may as well give into the addiction to the site now... it's inevitable!

Welcome to the site! See? You're already well on your way to a custom avatar - you already have 18 posts! LOL Maybe I shouldn't tell you, but you can create your own custom title at 1200 posts. Seems like a lot, but they can add up fast!

Oops, Shell you're right. 1200 is for Top Cat, then 1500 for the title.
Man, it's been a long day, and I didn't even crawl out of bed until noon!

Sicy, don't be sorry, this just gives us a chance to get to know you quickly!
And for you to get to know all of us, too.
