Hi all! I'm relatively new to forums - I belong to a greyhound forum (GreyTalk) 'cause I had a retired racer for 8 years. Lost her in Jan '05.
I had a beautiful (and temperamental) tortoiseshell for 17 years - lost her in Aug '07.
I was supposed to wait till January '08 to get any more pets since I was scheduled to take 3 trips in the fall of '07... well, THAT didn't quite work out!
I work PT on weekends for a pet food company & do demos in various pet stores. Of course, I have to look at all the adoptable kitties while I'm there! I fell in love with my boy Merlin with one look in his cage! (This was exactly three weeks after I lost my tortie, Weenie...) He went home with me that day - and he's an absolute LOVE! 1/2 Maine Coon, mackerel tabby - gorgeous as well as sweet!
I've always wanted 2 cats but Ween did NOT like others.. so now was my chance! I found a lovely little girl, tabby & white, at an SPCA open house at yet another pet store (those stores are DANGEROUS!!
) and she came home with me in March '08. Her 1st gotcha day is this Sunday, the 8th!!
Merlin & Jas get along very well and we're one smallish happy family!!
I'll try to post pix the same way I do at GT... hope it works! If not, I'll have to haunt the tech posts...)
Here goes...
This is Merlin, my huge fuzzy boy
And Jasmine, his tiny bratty sister!
