Title: Hey there!
Post by: Bee on June 24, 2011, 07:54:29 AM
 :)

Hello all, I'm a newbie or a new bee If you prefer!
I have joined for a little help in the behaviour forum but it seemed polite to introduce myself here first!
So, yes my name is Bee and I have two very beautiful 11 month old White deaf kittens that I rescued on Sunday from the RSPCA. My last cat died 6 years ago and I have had a brief hiatus due to buying a house with my cat allergic sister but have now welcomed these two rascals into my family :)
See you all around here!

Bee

Hello Bee - a very warm welcome to Purrs to you and your two new little rascals.   :wow:  What are their names?  I bet they're absolute stunners.   :)  Piccies would be fantastic  ;)  hint-hint  :evillaugh:

Hopefully you should find plenty of good advice (almost said "sound" advice - doh!) on here, and support and friendship by the bucketload.

Enjoy your time on the forum, and sending a gentle ear rub for each of your little beauties.

 :welcome: to Purrs   ;D

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:

It goes without saying Drum n Bass II are absolute stunners :drool;  :Luv:

well... since I have chosen to skip Glastonbury this year and therefore have not needed to spend the last few months reading forum posts about weather forcasts and wellies, a new obsession is quite welcomed! :)

Welcome to Purrs,

Your girls are stunning (they look very much like Turkish Angora's).
Title: Re: Hey there!
Post by: Bee on June 24, 2011, 12:52:28 PM
Thanks Sam!

The RSPCA said they think their mum was a pedigree but we don't know anymore than that :)

Check out these images .... if your girls aren't angora's I'd be very surprised (especially as you say they have super soft coats)

Oh My Goodness Sam, yes they absolutely look just like them, especially the second one!

Thank you so much!  ;D

Of course without any papers your girls will be simply "moggies" .... but you might get a better idea of their "personality traits" if you read up on angoras.

Hi Bee, i am sorry for getting back so late to you, I am a owner of a deaf cat and if there's any advice i can give i can try and do my best.
By the way your cats look like Turkish Angoras, Well as i can see that your two have totally different  personality's.

My Girl because she is deaf she has a naughty streak thinks she can get a way with it ;), She sleeps a lot and sometimes she can be a little jumpy but that's rare. She has 100% missile target lock on for eyes, small moving things will get her really excited!. i will need to read your posts.

Hello!

 :thanks: I've asked a few bits and pieces already - everyone is so helpful here, it's really good to know I can ask for help, thanks for the message. Since the suggestion that the girls might be Turkish Angoras we have read up on them a lot and they seem to fit their personalities perfectly!  ;D
