The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsHi I'm new here
I've been following this website for awhile and decided to join. My husband passed away 3 years ago. I miss him we did everything together. I have a 3 year old cat who is spoiled and I'm feeding 2 strays outside. I feel very welcome here 😁 thank you.

(26,356 posts)I have 1 indoor cat and 3 outdoor,
1 outdoor cat is 12 years old, another one is 9 years old, when he first showed up we took him to the vet and found out he had feline leukemia, I think that's what it was. Vet suggested we put him down because he could transfer it to the other cat if they fight. I said no, they don't fight, and he is still doing fine. 3rd outdoor is 2 years old.
The outdoor cats have heated cat houses in the winter in the garage.

The 2 outside cats used to stay across the street from me but changed to my place. Maybe they like the food here better at Carole's back porch cat cafe. They are so precious. 😁

(65,597 posts)You have a safe, welcoming community at DU. People are nice here and there are so many talented, warm, dedicated liberal Dems! I rely on DU to be a refuge, a safe place in a political storm, a venting area, and a learning area, too.
I hope to see more of your posts as you get acquainted.
