Hi and welcome. Your cats are gorgeous. I especially love the Scottish Fold.

I am 100% Italian! Both of my parents come from Capestrano in the Province of L'Aquila. I've been there to visit and I LOVE IT. I have a lot of family still there, my aunt is in Chieti and my Grandfather is in a town just outside of Capestrano ( I can't remember the name right now !! ) I live here in the US, but I am very familiar w/ Italian culture!
Welcome to the Cat Site.

Welcome to The Cat Site!

Diana Welcome!!!!

Your babies are beautiful. I have a female 5 year old kitty from a shelter. I have had her for only 3 weeks, but she has stolen my heart.

I am part Italian. Ever heard of the Palazzo Moro-Lin in Venice on the Grand Canal? That used to be in my family. Also one of my ancestors (Cristoforo Moro, whom no one liked, cause he was mean :LOL: ) was Doge of Venice once. (forgot the date off-hand)

I went to Venice, Florence and Rome for my honeymoon almost 9 years ago, and FELL IN LOVE with Italy.

Welcome to The Cat Site Diana Your kittens are beautiful!!

:baloon:

Wow, how nice you are ! So I hope you will forgive my English when it's bad.

The kittens wish to send their love to you all.

I guess most of you have cats from shelters, that's great. As soon as I moved out to a home of my own I really couldn't help buying my 2 purebred kittens - had seen too many pictures of these breeds and had longed for them all the time. But I think I have room for another couple of cats if I find one in need.

Each cat has their unique character but I want to tell you how sweet Scottish Folds are - Francis is my first one and she is absolutely wonderful, chirping all the time as she follows me around the house.
Hope to get more scottish kittens from her when she's grown!

Bye for now,
Diana

Diana,

Your English is fine!!! Don't worry!! :LOL: :LOL:

Im with Vjoy!! - Your English sounds fine to me hun!! I have two pure-bred cats too, I have a black Cornish Rex named Monty, (he's nuts,- loves to headbutt everything!?!) and I have 1 Chocolate Tortie Point Birman named Brandy,- she's only 8 months old and she's still teeeny weeeny....ha ha. I also have 3 other kitties which are all rescues - but I love them all just as much!! I LOOOOOVE Scottish Fold cats, - if you ever have any kittens - let me know first!!!

Diana and kittens, I too, want to be part of the party. Don't worry, your english is great. I am a mexican living in the usa. I love Italy and I love their food. I hope to visit Italy someday. All of you Italians out there, when you have time, please send me some recipes. I used to have a cat but it ran away and then it got killed. I will be getting another one soon.

Welcome!!! Your babies are adorable!

Nena!!

I am so sorry to hear about your kitty! But your new kitty will be blessed by your love.

I like all your party characters. Is there a twister game in there somewhere? :LOL: :LOL:

Vjoy,
... and I adore Birmans! Always wanted to get one. Where can I see a picture of Brandy?

Diana

Hiya!! You can see a picture of my baby Brandy in an old thread called "Monty Bodlovers lovely Cornish Rex" I think it was something like that....there are pictures of all my babies on there, except one who seems to be camera shy!!! You'll have to go back a loooong way in the Cat Lounge forum to find it I think!! I'll see if I can find it for you and bring it to the top...... Brandy looks a bit manky in the pictures though cos we just flea sprayed her and it ruined her fur!!! hee hee, though the poor little might is not very well at the moment ......snif.....I am about to make a vets appointment for her....

Enjoy the pics!!! (If we can find them!!)

Welcome Diana!
Your cats are stunning, and their names are so musical
Italian is such a beautiful language, it seems anything you say in it sounds like poetry!
Your pics are so nicely done, the backgrounds and poses look professinal. Did you take them yourself, and if so, are you a photographer?

I'm having trouble naming one of my kittens, maybe you could help me with an Italian translation, if it isn't too much trouble?

Welcome again to our little family!

Yes I've taken the pictures myself - actually I used a very old digital camera with a low resolution and the first pics I took were all dark and ugly. I'm not a photographer, I wish I was! But I love to experiment and something good comes out once in a while! If you have time, there are quite a lot of pictures taken by me and Anna during our staying in China at this URL:

http://www.sinophilia.org/places.htm

I have a nice picture of a Chinese cata but didn't put it on the site, maybe I'll try to post it here sooner or later.

About the names... it's been hard to find out fitting names for our kittens! Actually Francis was named by her breeder, while we took Violetta and Lucia from operas (they're the main characters of Traviata and Boheme, respectively ). At first I didn't like to give cats human names, but I think they're nice in the end!
How can I help you with your kitten? How is s/he like?

Diana
