Hello everyone!
After some time reading these forums, I finally gathered enough courage to join and say hi!
My name is Ellie, writing from Ireland, and I´ve been a proud "mother of cats" since I was a kid. My three family cats were Garfield, Longshanks and Coconut. Unfortunately, this last year, Garfield and Coconut passed away and, this January, Longshanks joined them on "the other side of the rainbow bridge". We were together during nearly half of my life, and losing all three "almost" at the same time was devastating.
But even if still hurts and they are not replazable, my life without cats is not the same. I realized this after I discovered myself visitng my friends every week just to pet their cat.
So, I´m adopting a cat!
A brown tabby girl, almost 4 years old, currently nursing kittens. I just had the first visit to see if this lady liked me, and she did! She was very sweet and a little bit shy, so we got along inmediately. I´m the calm and introverted type of girl too.
She will be coming home once the kittens are weaned and she is neutered. I´m so nervous already that I´m even studying a free course on animal behaviour while looking for all the things the cat will need.
I´m sorry I don´t have pictures of her yet, but let me show some of Garfield (the orange one) , Longshanks (tuxedo) and Coconut.
Hope to meet you all soon!
Read you later!

I understand--when I lost my first cat, I wasn't sure I could go through that kind of loss again. But it wasn't long before I found myself surfing the SPCA website, looking for adoptable kitties. 
Now I have four. 
It´s really nice to be among fellow cat lovers!
I posted a couple of pics of her and Longshanks on "
Can't wait to see pics of your new girl. Best of luck with her spay.
