Title: Hello Everyone!
Post by: gillipies on July 12, 2009, 11:44:07 AM

I just wanted to pop in here and say hi to you all and introduce myself (and my cat!) since I only joined the forum yesterday.

I'm Nicki and I live in Birmingham (I've noticed quite a lot of Birmingham people here already!) although I'm originally from Nottingham.

I'm mummy to my cat Twinkie and two gerbils, Widget and Stripey. Twinkie's nearly 3 years old and we got her from a friend as she was being bullied by their other cat. She seems to be loving her new home and is now far more relaxed and laid back than she was before. I hope you'll get to know more about me and Twinkie as time goes on, but for the moment I've (hopefully!) included some pictures of her below  :) she has a tendency to look quite evil in photos but I can promise she is as sweet as can be really!

 :welcome: to Purrs Nicki ;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:

Twinkie is gorgeous, Widget and Stripey are pretty cute too  :Luv2:
