I'm servant to two cats at the moment, although I've lived with cats since 1979. Both of my current cats were adopted, and we chose to take those who would be difficult to re-home.
Tinks is a black female around 5 years old. She is semi-feral, and was very nervous when she came to us. Now, 4 years on, we've got her used to being stroked (although only on her own terms) and finally, over the last week, she's started sitting on my husband's lap - so much so that he can't do a thing now as he hasn't the heart to push her off!
Jess is a tabby tornado around 4 years old. She was about 9 months old when she came to us, and had a urinary incontinence problem. When she started passing blood, we took her to the vet, who diagnosed bladder stones, and put her on a special diet. She's now much better and only has the occasional accident. She's very vocal (especially at 4 am!) and very affectionate.
I'm also a pet artist, drawing mainly cats but also dogs and even a rabbit. I draw in pastel pencils from people's photos.
Looking forward to getting to know you all - I can't believe I've only just found this forum!

I'll see if I can grab a picture to stick on over the weekend. I'm also a carer for my hubby, so life is full
