For those who remember me
Hi folks,
I haven't read or posted in this group for a very long time, although I'm a member of catslaves :-). It's just overwhelming to see the number of postings each day in this group. I will not be able to follow all of them. For those who don't know or remember me: I'm german, and a slave to four masters: Artania and Apophis, MC siblings who turned 4 this year http://tinyurl.com/7tuus. Last year, I lost Micah, whom I adopted from the shelter as an old cat in October 2002, and still miss him dearly. In December 2004, Maurice got sick (renal failure), we had to put him to sleep on Jan. 2, 2005 :-( Since we always had four cats, in September 2004 we adopted Finlay (born May, 2004). He was a barnyard cat and very sick. We pampered him, and he's now a huge, healthy boy, who ignores me most of the time cause he's Daddys boy g After losing Maurice I couldn't cope with it, and on January 4th, Eithne moved in, also adopted from a local shelter. She's now 10 month old, the tiniest cat, I've ever had but doesn't fear a thing ;-) Here you can see Finlay and Eithne: http://tinyurl.com/eyqvk All 4 of them are very social cats who love company. All of them are indoor cats. Well, that's all for now. Petra |

Very nice to see you again, Petra! So sorry for your losses of Micah and
Maurice. I'm sure Finlay and Eithne are very lucky to have found such a caring catslave; they are both quite striking and beautiful! Please post more when you can!

Thank you so much for your warm welcome. I can't believe, someone still remembers me. I've never been a frequent poster to this group. I really love older cats, especially when you look into their eyes. But since the Coonies are only 4, and then Finlay, being very young, desperately needed a home and nobody wanted him, the fourth cat also had to be a younger one even though I would have preferred to get an old one sigh. At the moment, DH and I are discussing to take another cat in. She's 14 month old, and was injured. Someone cut her belly when she was just a tiny cat :-(( She's in good care right now in a foster home. They can't find her a forever home cause she doesn't want to be touched, but she loves other cats and bond with them immediately. But, as I said, DH and I are not sure. 5 cats are a lot responsability. We had two good catsitters but they're not available any longer. Once in a while, we'd like to go on a vacation. We're not going until we find a new catsitter who doesn't cost a fortune. Petra |

Your cats would be good meowmies and paws to her. |

Your cats would be good meowmies and paws to her. Yes, she's adorable. You can see her he http://www.tierschutz-notfelle.de/36001.html (look for Minni). And our cats would be great for her. We took to foster cats in, who's master had to go to the hospital and didn't know where to put them. Our cats didn't ever hiss at them, they were just being playful. But, honestly, I fear the responsability. 5 cats are a lot to deal with. And right now we have to wonderful couples, I wonder if a fifth one who will be permanently with us wouldn't destroy the whole group. So we have to decide very carefully. Petra |
