Welcome PotatoLoafCats,

I think you’re gonna find that there are a lot of people in this forum who I really kind and understanding. Although I had MS for a really long time before I ever found this group.. I really think that if I had found it sooner, it would’ve really benefited me. I hope you’ll come back and check in often…

Hello PotatoLoafCats, Just want to welcome you to the forum and hope you feel comfortable asking any questions you may have, I see from your bio that you have had a very rough road over the last 5 years and I hope your treatments continue to help you. Wishing you the best!

Hi, PotatoLoafCats. Your bio makes for some heartbreaking reading. It's incomprehensible to me that anyone, let alone such a young person, should have so many serious health problems. The fact that you've survived is miraculous. It's probably hard for anyone to comprehend all of that, which to me (based solely on having MS) must be a very lonely feeling. No wonder you're struggling with your mental health! At least you've found a site where someone will "get" the MS part, and we'll certainly try to understand where you're coming from to the best of our ability.

I love your kitty. My avatar is our cat Teddy, who we adopted a couple of years ago at approximately age eight. We also have a black kitty who looks like a panther named Jack, who's around five. My husband and I find that our lives pretty much revolve around them.

I'm so happy that you found us. I hope that you'll share how you're doing so that we can get to know you, and support you as much as possible. Wishing you the best!

Teddy and Jack

Thanks, I think so, too! Your kitty is also adorable. Is his name Bob? I don't know if I'm remembering correctly. 😊

Thank you! Yes he was born with a bobbed tail. So it seemed fitting 😂

Hey everyone, thanks for the warm welcome! Unfortunately, the original profile Pic wasn't my cat, but I've updated it. Here are my babies. I also have an orange tabby, but it won't let me add more than one picture.

Maple (right) Skylar (left) surprisingly, they are from the same litter.
