Hi PMC -

I don't have an answer for you, but just wanted to welcome you to the forums. I grew up in New Rochelle, not too far from you, and am now just on the other side of the Hudson.

Do we assume by your name, that you are another cat lover? How many do you have, and what are their names?

Hi again PMC ~

We currently have 3 indoor cats, and 2 that we feed on our 2nd story deck - they are feral, but Fraidy (black and white) has been coming around for about 3 years now, and Slinky (pictures in the Banter Hall here) just started coming around a few weeks ago.

We got our 2 sister calicos after our first cat, Cookie, had to be put to sleep as she was dying from bone marrow cancer. She was only 4 years old. I found Roxie in the nursery section of a WalMart. A boy, about 10, was walking around holding this tiny kitten and I commented on how cute it was. We had been looking for a calico - my daughter didn't want another cat who looked like our black and white Cookie - it was too painful for her. The boys mother grabbed her out of his hands and shoved her at me saying "you want her, take her!!!" Her baby was allergic to cats and they had 3 more of the litter at home. I wanted to see the rest of them before deciding on this one, so we went to her house and ended up taking the 2 calico sisters - we named them Roxie and Amber.

Then, last year, my daughter really wanted a black cat to name Salem, like the cat on the old TV show Sabrina. We found our Salem (female) at a shelter where our son went to college in Ithaca. We've had her just over a year now, and she's some character! Definitely acts like "the new kid on the block" strutting her stuff, but also lets us hug her to death. She's been pretty mute all this time, but is starting to make squeaking noises, and this morning made a definite MEOW! Finally!!!

Sorry you had so many illnesses with your kitties. I know how hard it is with one, let alone so many for you. Glad you were able to take most with you in one form or another. We, too, buried Cookie here, and I've planted a garden over/for her with mostly white flowers since she was black and white.

Not sure, how many do you have currently?

We have a few cat lovers here on the forums - especially our wonderful forum host Catlover!
