Title: New Kitty here
Post by: redfan on March 22, 2012, 21:35:07 PM: Hi all,

I am new to the site, and have just posted my first question elsewhere lol

Anyway, a little about myself .. Me and my partner live a lovely little cottage and have our great 11 month old kittys, Slushy and Gizmo , I also have 3 large fish tanks on the go, though they are in a closed room away from inquisitive paws ;)

Currently I do not work due to my helath so along with my fish the cats are my life I guess (oh and my missus of course lol) and keep me busy with the endless reward of love and affection ... well food demands and GBH if food not provided!

Have been a cat lover my whole 37 years, and have had several previously, these kittys are very much house cats and will never get outside (I do latch the windows so they can sit and sniff the air though) having in the past lost many cats to roads :(

Anyway, hope your all well and look forward to becoming a regular face around here :)

You're in good company here - we may all be mad, but our cats keep us relatively sane. ;)

What sort of fish do you have - are they tropical?

Yes indeed you will need to get to grips with posting pics if you can :) We do love our pics of our felines.

If it's a bit overwhelmingly just now, do feel free to email me pics at RosellaMoggy@gmail.com and I'll post them on this thread for ya :)

Great to have you here and hope you'll hang around a while :) Poor Stuart needs some more male company :evillaugh:

Pics hmm .... let's see, first one is Gizmo (the one whom has not been himself lately as in my other thread) and the 2nd pic is Slushy I :Luv2: them despite how :Crazy: they make me lol They really look similar except Gizmo's nose is more elongated.

Thanks again

Also a video I did when they were about 4 months old :)

Post by: redfan on March 26, 2012, 23:51:39 PM: Sue, Lilli, Sheila & Gill many thanks, love them so much .. they are domestic short hair moggies but they are particularly good looking lol

They are truly wonderful cats and I have had cats most of my 37 years (not detracting from the others I have loved and lost) but due to my own health issues these two really do give me a reason to enjoy life!

I love having time with them daily .. Gizmo always comes to bed when I do, literally gives a little yelp, walks up the bed and waits for me to open the duvet for him. Slushy does similar but is happy with me calling for him and then he comes in and rests on the chest of drawers that we have put a towel on lol.

Anyway, thanks guys :)

See - this is what I love about cats, and what people who don't have cats or spend much time around cats don't get. They're not always the aloof, insular individuals they like people to think they are. Snuggle time is very important, and how lucky are we that we get to share in it? ;D Just so long as we don't hog all the sleeping space.... :innocent: :evillaugh:

Glad you've found us, I'm sure you'll enjoy it here. It really is a very friendly forum with lots of friendly helpful advice, if ever needed, and of course lots of fun.

I do feel it my public duty to warn you though that it can be a teensy bit addictive :Crazy: You have been warned :evillaugh:

That's two particularly handsome boys you have there! :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:

Post by: redfan on April 04, 2012, 13:11:55 PM: Thanks JiJi and Tiggys mum :Luv:

I can imagine this place can get addictive, which is cool as I have my new fixed line broadband now :)
