Just thought I'd introduce myself and my 2 owners, Poppy and Tinx....
I live in Kent, UK, am 40 years old and am disabled (have MS and also mobility probs); have a husband, Ian (married 13 years) and 2 cats Poppy and Tinx.
Poppy is about 1 and half and is Mum to Tinx who is abt a year old, yes, work the math Poppy was a very young Mum, floozy..... Poppy is polydactyl (has extra toes on each paw) and she was out up for rehoming after she had her kittens, they got homes for each kitten except Tinx. We had lost our dear cat Kitty (she was rescue cat as well but I'll tell you more abt her I am sure in later posts) and a couple of weeks later our Vet called and asked if we were interested in getting another cat. Initially we were offered Poppy but we saw them both in the same oen, Tinx was still suckling and we could say no so we had them both. Apparently no one wanted Poppy because of her extra toes :(..... some people.....
Anyway, they have been with us for nearly a year, Poppy is a wonderful cat, very loving - when she wants food ;)now on a diet because she is overweight according to the Vet, but to me she looks smaller than some of the other cats in our neighbourhood; Tinx is small, a bit sneakie but completely adorable.
They are my babies as I cant have any children, well not now as I had a hysterectomy a few months ago ;D and they have been my entertainment and kept me sane these past few months.
Anyway, this has turned into war and peace..... I look forward to getting to know you all.....

Hi and :welcome:
Lovely to have you onboard.
Cant wait to see your photos, I also couldnt believe poppy was passed over due to her extra special feet. Ive always had two great desires for a cat..one was a red boy which i got last year after many many years of yearning, my other is for a polydactyl puss with extra large spares toes :evillaugh: (red preferably :rofl:)
My fave "mr bigfeet" i used to have in at my old work had 2 extra toes on each foot, with each toe being atleast double if not triple the normal size...I was in heaven :Luv:

Hope you enjoy yourself on here ( be warned though, this site is addictive! :rofl: )
All the best
Love

:welcome: to Purrs Nikki!
How odd that people wouldnt want Poppy because of her extra toes - still, their loss is your gain (and hers too by the sound of it!) ;D

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome, I'm sure Poppy, Tinx and I will be at home here.....
Yes, Poppy is one special cat..... I'll try and get pix of her big feet for you Lynn..... shes also quite an actress, stands up on hind legs and takes treats out of your hand with her paws just like a human then puts them in her mouth, yes one very special cat..... but then I woul d say that.
I'm sure I'll bore everyone senseless with stories abt my babies in good time.
