Hello folks
Apologies if this is in the wrong part...I couldn't find an "introductions" section.
Just wanted to re-introduce myself back into the fold, after a gap of 5/6 years from posting on AL. I used to be a regular forum member..I think my old username was hannah28 (I'm now 35, can't believe how long its been since I last logged in as a contributing member!)
Many of you that were here in 2007/2008 might remember my numerous posts with pictures of my cats (Ruby and Pepper)...we hadn't long got them, back then, and picture overload was an understatement!
It was Ruby's 6th (yes 6th!) birthday yesterday and Pepper is 6 on the 21st of this month.
Will attach some pics to this post so you all can see just how grown up they are now!
Anyway, just a quick post to say hello & it's good to be back! I'm looking forward to being an active member of this amazing forum once again 
Hannah x

Hello and welcome back! Stunning cats! I'm still here; like you, 6 years older, sadly without Garnet and Jim but still with Red and new little cob, Sam. Looking forward to your news and pics. xx

Hiya and welcome back, I've only been here since mid 2011 myself.
Your cats are very cute, I'm not really up on cat breeds, but they don't look like my tabby moggies!!! What flavour are they, Carole ? |

Thank you for the lovely welcomes!
Garnet, I'm so very sorry to hear about the loss of your boys. We really have to treasure the memories these wonderful creatures leave with us all, after they've gone.
Would love to hear more about your new little cob :)
Hi Carole! I feel like I know some of you already, as I've still "lurked" throughout the years, and loved following everyone's adventures, all the highs and lows..this forum really is a marvellous place, even for those who don't post, but simply come to "look" lol!
Ruby (the multi-coloured girl) is a long-haired Exotic (a bit of an anomaly, as she was born to two shorthaired-Exotics!) and Pepper (the red boy) is a Persian. Both have their little quirks and larger-than-life characters, wouldn't be without them for the world! (and this is coming from someone who had to be "converted" to cats as I was very much a dog person before they came into my life!)

Liza, long time no speak! Do you ever get any updates from Pie's (not sure if they re-named him!) owners? Still think about him a lot, and miss him heaps x x x

| Wonderful cats!! I love persians. We used to have 2 which have both sadly passed away now. If I was in the house more I would have another in a shot. |

Debs...the fluffiness comes at a price (i.e...no black clothing EVER! just waaay too much cat-fur gets "transferred") lol!
Vik, I'm sorry to hear about your two, you must have very fond memories, as these little creatures really do steal your heart. Ruby & Pepper are house-cats, through & through. They do have the odd (supervised) expedition into the garden, and Pepper loves to chew on grass (strange boy!)...but most of the time they are content to commandeer the bed

Sazzle, I'm terribly sorry to hear of your loss of Panache :(
I knew it would be inevitable, coming back here after such a long break, that people would have lost treasured animals...it doesn't make it any easier to bear, though....my heart goes out to you all. However, it's really heartening to hear that many of you have "new" friends in your lives...I love hearing the stories (and seeing the pics!) of the new relationships between people and their horses (and other furries!). It really is what this forum is about, and what makes it so very special :)

Hi Hannah!
I'm new, in as much as I've not been here 2 years yet.
I love it though!!
I have a Freya. She's part bred Arab, or rather part fairytale princess pony crossed with a demon.
Demented, darling pony has caused me a fair few sleepless nights! Looking forward to your posts
As for your cats... If I didn't live on such a busy stretch of village road [our last, and final, cat was hit by a car and killed] then I would be looking for fluffy like yours. Absolutely gorgeous!

Thank you all so SO much for this lovely welcome back! It's just wonderful to hear from some familiar forum members, as well as the more recent members too
Suelin, how are you, my lovely!? How are your beautiful whippet girlies?
Anna, I've been following your trials and tribulations with Freya, love your posts as they are just so descriptive and you really get her character across! Is she home yet from her time with the stunt folk!?
Nat & Martha, thank you both for the nice comments on my little babies (not so little anymore!)...Ruby still has her cute days, every now and then...but mostly she just looks grumpy! The original "Grumpy Cat" lol |

Hannah, I'm bringing her home today Very excited, and can't wait to get her home and start winter routine with her... Quite possibly going to a dressage test 1st week of November!!
I'll be posting later... You all need to tell me that she looks fine and isn't emaciated [completely paranoid because of the state she was in when I bought her] and that her feet look okay!! xxxx |
