I am the Mommy to two kitties, Koshka a almost 1 year old black cat and a brand new 9 week old black and white kitten named Spotty. We just recently put our kitty Kiki to sleep after a brief illness and she was less than 2 years old. I wanted to join a group like that to run questions by people who knew, cat lovers like yourselves. I am very glad to have found it here.
