Title: Finally saying hello!
Post by: Tiggerwoos on September 01, 2009, 21:57:22 PM
Hi everyone!  Am really glad to have found this lovely forum, and there are some great people and cats here!

My name is Clare and sadly I found this forum a couple of weeks ago, after losing my gorgeous 4 year old rescue cat Lily (in my profile picture) to a road traffic accident two weeks ago today and I miss her so much, especially her being the chatterbox of the house and demands to be let in through the window rather than the cat flap if she saw anyone was in the house!

I also have four other rescue cats.  Gizmo aged 9, Tigger aged 6, Amy who is 7 and Potty (real name Harriet.... Long story) who is around 13 who is having a few hyperthyroid problems at the moment.  I also have a 5-6 year old rescue house bun called Benjy who thinks he is a cat and at times has even attempted to eat cat food (to which it has been quickly removed as I'm sure it can't be good for him!)

Look forward to sharing lots of cat stories with you all!

Thanks for all the warm welcomes.  :thanks:  I've finally managed to work out how to post some pictures!

(http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g253/Tiggerwoos/tiggerwoos.jpg)  Tigger as a naughty toddler!  He's a lot bigger now!

(http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g253/Tiggerwoos/170.jpg)  Potty on one of her "awake" and "sensible" days!]  She has very little vision in her right eye as it was badly damaged when the rescue found her.

(http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g253/Tiggerwoos/142.jpg)  Amykins being sensible and mature, as always!

(http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g253/Tiggerwoos/gimmie.jpg)  Gizmo.... my first cat and shadow that follows me everywhere!

(http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g253/Tiggerwoos/051.jpg)  Some of the mob!  Lily is the tiny black and white one all snuggled up.

Thanks for everyone's warm welcomes.  Seems like a really friendly place here and am loving all the cat piccies.

Just got back from collecting Lily's ashes, so feeling a little sad at the moment.  At the moment she's on her "podium" style scratching post until we can think of somewhere lovely to scatter her.  she was definitely a free spirit, so I feel she would want to be outside and somewhere pretty.

 :welcome: to Purrs   ;D

Glad you've found us, I'm sure you'll enjoy it here - sorry it's under such sad circumstances  :hug:  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:

Gorgeous pics, love the one of Meerkat Tigger  :Luv2:

 :thanks: everyone for the support.  That's really kind.

Really sorry to hear about your cat Max, Clare.  Am sure he's playing up at the bridge with my Lily.  I love the pictures of Poot.  He looks scarily like Lily.  Almost as though they were seperated at birth!
