Hi!
I just started visiting here this week when I was trying to figure out what was wrong with my boy Pippin. He's doing better now, and so am I, thanks in part to the folks in Health and Nutrition.
My name is Devlyn and I am the happy Mommy of 4 cats.
Pippin, born Nov. 29, 2002, is a beautiful silver tabby. He's a big, sweet cat who is recovering from an intestinal blockage he had last week. He likes hanging out on the top of doors (which he also jumps to the ground from), cuddling at night, being the head cat, climbing into my pants (while I'm wearing them) and candy (pounce treats).
His brother, Merry, was a wonderful brown tabby with white on his belly, legs and chin. Merry liked to snuggle with his mom, claw on my suede shoes, show off, and play with Pippin. He started getting chubby as a juvenile until he caught some sort of wasting disease. We were never able to diagnose it during those 8 months and he ironically passed away on Dec. 26, 2003 from something completely unrelated, ingesting thread. I'll see you at the bridge, Merry.
I was devastated, and so was Pippin. We looked for a new buddy for him and found two.
Simple (b. April 20, 2003) is a pretty black boy with nary an ounce of guile. I adopted him when he was almost a year old. He came with the name "Blacky" which I hated. I tried a few different names on him, but "Simple" is the name that stuck because he *is* simple. He likes to follow me around, purr, look very cute, sit in my lap and terrorize Arwen.
I adopted Morris at the same time as Simple. He's an older gentleman who is an orange tabby with splotches of white. Morris likes to chat, sit on the fridge, groom Simple and Pippin, and basically just take it easy. His front paws are tender and deformed from a declaw gone bad (before I got him) but he still manages to tear it up and play like a kitten with Simple and Pippin.
Arwen is a recent arrival. She showed up one day about 3 weeks ago outside my business, crying and skittish. I felt bad for her, and was worried she would get hit by a car, so I coaxed her into my building, fed and watered her, and posted a "Found" poster to try to find her family.
Well, noone called, even though she was obviously someone's pet. She's a pretty girl, resembling a British Shorthair. She's a gray tabby with white markings on her belly, legs and chin. I get her confused with Pippin sometimes because the gray is the same color as his. I got her tested for contagious diseases and vaccinated, then brought her home.
I'm still trying to find a new family for her, because she is very frightened of the other cats, especially Simple. She likes to have her belly rubbed, sleep on my bed, chase feather toys and for things to be quiet!!! She does NOT like Simple and thinks he's mean.
As for me, I'm Devlyn, a 29 y/o entrepreneur. I design and manufacture costuming and run my retail store. I enjoy coming home to my furkids, staying busy, cuddles with Pippin, and the internet.
Hope to meet lots of you.
