Hi @childofthetrees and welcome to the Community.  It is nice to meet you and thank you for sharing with us.  I enjoyed reading your introduction.  I have a cat too, but have had dogs and a goldfish in the past also.  I love Jane Austen too!  What is your favourite Jane Austen book?  I love Pride and Prejudice and have this on dvd too which I enjoy watching.  It is great to have you on board and I look forward to reading more posts from you.  I hope you enjoy your time with us.  You will find lots of lovely people on here.  It is a great place for support and friendship and lots of chat!  If there is anything we can help you with then please just give us a shout.  All the best.
