Title: MEOW! (Or Hello)
Post by: kcsunshine on March 15, 2010, 22:41:30 PM: Hi,
I'm a mummy to two humans, married to a recent cat convert. We have a five yo neutered boy whom we rescued a year ago - he's awesome, we called him Simba. The cat on my avatar is my first car, Bodley Boots, the most handsome boy ever. ;)

Post by: kcsunshine on March 15, 2010, 22:53:21 PM: Okay, will try to upload Simba pics. One of him attacking a toy mouse yesterday (it was his official birthday being a year since we adopted him and we don't know his real dob) and another of what I swore we'd never do to him - let my daughter dress him up. He's soooo tolerant. :Luv: Just been told the attachments are too big though . . .

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:

Hee hee; Bod was named after Thomas Bodley, the original librarian of the Bodleian library in Oxford. If I'd have had a second cat then, it would have been Sheldon after the Sheldonian Theatre!

Post by: kcsunshine on April 25, 2010, 22:30:38 PM: Thoughts on names please for a mostly dark tortie with brindle back and ginger and white chest and chin.
Ginny
Lavender
Strawberry
Matilda
Elsie
Agnes
Mojito
Cordelia
Delilah
You can see her here:
http://www.battersea.org.uk/applications/dynamic/?id=7898&
But she's only been named Cheese since Battersea took her in having been abandoned at a railway station.
