Hello everyone!
This account is going to be used by two different people, but you can think of us as the same entity lol. We don't have a kitty yet but I figured we should join a kitty forum so that we can learn as much as we can before we do.
So I guess since this is an introduction I should introduce the two of us and our experiences with kitties.
Well, when I was little my mom found a red himalayan being abused by the stranger. We named her Kitty and had her for several months before my mom's allergies got the best of her and we had to find Kitty a new home. I have been hooked since, and I spent the better half of my childhood begging my mom for a cat. I've had just about every kind of pet, from dogs to rats, but there's something different about cats.
My girlfriend is just the opposite. She has never known a life without cats. She spent the better half of her childhood taking care of the feral colony on her great-grandparent's farm. Her great-grandparents are very old fashioned and wouldn't let the cats inside their house, but everyone enjoyed having them around and they were very well taken care of. I spent some time there and fell in love with her so-called "feral" cats. She taught me the names of the ones that had names, and we named the ones that didn't. Due to a series of unfortunate events we had to move from her home in Florida back to my home in California, and even though we really considered bringing along a kitty that captured our hearts in the end we left him there. It left a small hole in both of our hearts.
In June we are moving to Colorado, and we plan on getting our first two kittens together. I have my heart set on a rescue kitty. I'm keeping my eyes open for a good cat rescue. My girlfriend has her heart set on a ragdoll. She spent a lot of time researching and found a wonderful breeder in Colorado.
It's nice to meet all of you, and I hope to learn a lot in the months to come so that I am prepared when it's time to get our kittens.
