First introduction.


Hello, I have never done anything like this before, I hope it will be interesting and helpful. I am an older person and my partner is in his mid 50's and we have just acquired a kitten. He is a very pretty tabby, and his name is "Possum". 2 years ago we put our last cat "Ebony" to sleep after 20 years with us. We were not going to have any more animals, but a neighbors cat made us change our mind. My partner and I realized there was something missing in our lives. And so we got "Possum when he was 5 weeks old, he is nearly 10 weeks old and is going to the vet for his first check-up on Monday 18th Jan. This little bundle of mischief has changed our lives. I never realized how much you have to change things when you bring a kitten into your lives! It is nearly like a new baby!!! But he is a lot more fun and entertaining. We are laughing a lot, due to his funny antics. That's enough for my introduction, I am hoping this isn't too long. Bye from 'jandarlo'

Hi jandarlo! So very glad that you have welcomed a new kitten into your lives and that you are having a wonderful time with Possum! Pip, the ginger and white kitty in the above photo is now 7 months old - we welcomed him into our home last August and can appreciate all the joys you are having with Possum. You do forget what fun kittens are!!!

Re: First introduction.


welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new Kitten, i love his name.
It is so painful when we lose our Pets, we have lost two Dogs this year and for a short while we wondered about not having anymore pets. Like you we decided that we couldnt deny the pleasure we get from our animals and we are shortly getting a puppy to join our two tabbies.
