Hello everyone, what a wonderful site I have found by accident!
I have had indoor only cats in my home for 20 years now. My first cat adopted me as I was walking through the apartment complex I used to live in one night & never left me. He was aptly named Mischief & stayed with me for 17 1/2 years. Sadly he succumbed to cancer June of 2003.
I presently have three male cats (all formerly feral strays) having lost my fourth and youngest to lymphosarcoma in October of this year. Squeaker had just turned 8 years old when he went over the Rainbow Bridge. My other 'boys' are Bandit (11 1/2 years old), his litter mate Tom-Tom (same age), & last but not least Alvin (9 years old). Each was given his name for the special reasons reflecting their personalities & each has his own special story.
I look forward to reading all the postings on this site & hopefully with what I've learned over the years about cat care I can share with those that need it. I am not by any means a veterinarian, but rather just someone that loves to do research in order to give my cats the best optimum care and love they so deserve.
