Title: Hello I'm new!
Post by: Scooby on January 14, 2013, 17:47:01 PM: Hi I'm new here!

I'd like to introduce you to my two boys - They were both rescue cats; Hugo my lovely little ginger and white moggy who is three in May and Gilbert our Persian who is four this spring.

I've had Hugo since he was a kitten - his mother was abandoned and she was taken in by the local cat shelter and thats when we met Hugo. He's the cheekiest chap I've ever known. He's always into mischief and is the most loveable pest. Hugo is really chatty -always chirruping and chatting to you, sits at your feet and shouts at you until you pick him up and rock him like a baby.... He often opens the cupboard and practically points to the treat box - yes, he's got us ruined :evillaugh:

Gilbert came to me via the same cat shelter. We had recently lost our lovely Phoebe cat and Hugo needed a new friend. So we went to the shelter and saw the big, lion pawed Gilbert - He's been with us for two years and has his paws well and truly under the table! 8) Before he came to us he had spent quite a while living in a bedroom afraid of the staffie that his owners boyfriend owned. He had to have a full clip to get rid of all of his tats and mats :-[ but is now such a handsome chap and follows me absolutely everywhere - I can't move for the furry bundle of Gilbert love! The boys love each other to bits and quite often squeeze into the same cat bed together - well, thats when they're not taking up all of our bed!!

I'll post their photos when I figure out how!

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:

Hugo and Gilbert sound fab, love their names!

There's info on how to post pics here: http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,13872.0.html

Hi, welcome to Purrs. Your boys are fabulous. Love the one of them cuddling.
Gilbert is very handsome and I am a sucker for Persians as I have 5 of them myself.

Hugo has mitral valve dysplasia. He's being managed well and is fine at the moment- but that makes every day we have with him extra special :Luv:
