Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

@SoftGlimmer hi there. Like @MissGremlin said, I have 2 furbabies, Mal and Gypsy. They are known as MM (Mr MurderMittens) and GypsyMonroe.

MM is a red point Ragdoll and GyosyMonroe is a Ragdoll cross who knows (her mother escaped and had an affair with a local boy who quickly disappeared when he found out he was a dad!!)

The last photo is of my Border Collie, Kelly. She passed away back in 2011 at 13. I don't think I'll ever get another dog as Kelly was so special no other pup would measure up to her.

I am so sorry for your loss, I grieved more over Kelly than I did my own father - I got more from my relationship with my dog than him sad to say.
If you are comfortable doing so I'd love to hear more about your beloved furbaby xoxo

Love seeing furrbabies. My own cats have brought me so much comfort over the years. Is there a specific place on here where people share pictures of their furry family members?

Hi, I have just joined this. I'm not too sure of how it all works, yet. I'm a full time carer to my two adult sons.

Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

Hey @Amethyst007 , 

A warm 🌞 welcome and thanks for sharing your experiences with the community!

 

Sounds like you have a busy schedule being the full time carer for your adult sons🌿

It takes courage to share your experiences with the community, and you are being really brave reaching out to your peers. 

Do you have any particular questions about how it all works here? You might like to check out ➡️ this post which explains more about how it all works!

@MissGremlin thanks beautiful. Mal is particularly good looking and yes he does get annoyed when I smoosh him and kiss him. He tolerates it. Just! He is definitely not one who fights, being a ragdoll he is very laid back. He is lying on his back beside me at the moment, his front paws are curled up and one of his back paws is pointing straight up. Unlike a lot of cats he doesn't mind a belly rub.

I think your Indy is pretty adorable too 😉

@Fenegyerek there is the Sane Cattery, I'll tag you in it. I'd love to see pics of your babies xoxo

Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

@ENKELI ragdolls have such a gentle nature, my mother used to have 2. Mal just sounds divine, the way he's laying sounds adorable 😍.

Are you thinking of Indi that @Chasingsunsets has? I have Casper, the crazy and cheeky black labrador 😂.
