 :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:

Hi and welcome. I only have 8 cats (pathetic, I know) :) They range from about 18 months to 14+. Only one female, my old girl Stinky who I have had since she was a kitten and is now 12.  You must post pics of your furbabes, its compulsory :)

Hi Jess and  :welcome: to Purrs  ;D

Hope you love it here, we're all not just cat mad, but animal mad too, so you'll fit right in  ;D

I don't have a furbabe at the moment, my baby boy Max had to be put to sleep last week as he was extremely ill, his picture is on my siggy and he was the most handomest of handsome boys  :Luv2:  He was FIV+ as well, there's a few of us on here who have FIV babes, and I'll certainly be looking to home another cat, hopefully another FIV+ one, very soon xxxx

42 cats, that's incredible, how do you manage to look after them all? I have trouble enough with my brood, I'm seriously impressed and would love to hear any tips you have to offer. Really enjoying this forum already!

Foxy and Zephyr (the abys) are bother and sister and are 7 years old and Rossi the terror is nearly 3.  (there are loads of pics of my gang in the Cat stories section http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/board,14.0.html).

Wow I'm humbled by your effort Bazsmum, that's an impressive family, 18 cats?! How do you manage to keep harmony between them and the birds? I used to have a corn snake, well I had 3 in the space of about 2 weeks, because one died unexpectedly, the second escaped and didn't take too kindly to being caught and by the third one I thought I should stick to the fluffy animals! I'll try and get some pics up soon, the same for you please.

Hi Jess and welcome to Purrs!

I'm also a complete animal lover although my landlady will only allow us to keep 1 cat and an aquarium of tropical fish.  I'm about to start volunteering for the local cat rescue though so could possibly be tempted to foster other furbabies short-term :shify:

Hi, I'm Jess, I've just joined this forum so thought I'd better introduce myself. I'm a little bit animal crazy, my house is overrun by animals whether they're strays or my own. At the moment the total comes to 3cats, 2horses (they don't live in the house) and 2dogs. The 3 cats have arrived individually and made themselves at home, Tom, Sally and Pepper. My horses are called Vinnie and Charlie, I've had Vinnie for 12 years and Charlie for 7 years. I've got 2 boxers called Tinker and Dodger, Tinker's only 6months and Dodger's 2, they're both very naughty! I'm sure you'll all hear much more about them soon! I love sports, cars and work with exchange and mart. Looking forward to talking to you all soon.
