Title: New to purrs
Post by: emmmy_lou on November 25, 2011, 11:57:28 AM
Hi, I just joined the site.
I have always been a cat lover, but have only been a slave to some the last 18 months.

My boyfriend was always against cats after a bad experience when he was younger, but after much persuasion he gave in and is as devoted to them as I am!  :Luv:

Denzel is the tortie female (the names were chosen before we got the cats & I told him we would get 2 toms - oops!). She is such an attention seeker, loves cuddles, is so nosy & follows us everywhere.

Dexter is the ginger tom & is the total opposite - very independent & only likes cuddles when he is after food - the greedy one!

Its funny how 2 littermates brought up exactly the same can have such different personalities....

Anyway, thats me xxx

Hi Emmy-lou - welcome to Purrs!   Welcome also to your two babies, Denzel and Dexter (great names  ;D)  Isn't it lovely how their characters develop? 

Do you have any piccies?   :wow:

Was laughing at what you said about your boyfriend being a "convert" - there are a few of us onhere who got suckered persuaded otherwise by cats that rocked up in our lives when we least expected it.   :evillaugh: ;)  Once they get a grip, they don't let you go.....  (thank God!)

 :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:

I love their names, I wonder if it's wrong to rename my four year old cats?  :innocent: :evillaugh:

Its funny how 2 littermates brought up exactly the same can have such different personalities....

Same here, I have two brothers who are both every affectionate and loving but that's where the similarities end, they are like chalk and cheese!

I will try to get some more pics up - I'm a bit behind the times as we STILL dont have a PC at home! Why get one when I have access at work????

2 cats are so much fun together tho aren't they? We decided on 2 as we were both working full time when we got them & it was definately the right decision - they kept each other occupied while we were out & have had no furniture, carpets or curtains destroyed :wow:

The only thing I kind of regret is before we got them we had a back door that had a cat flap already fitted blocked up, so we constantly have to let them in & out - but I guess we can always sleep at night knowing they are safe inside :Luv2: :Luv2:

I can't see any  :shy:

Did you do the 'browse' attach method at the bottom of the post when you're writing it or are they hosted in photobucket or similar?
