Hi, I am so happy to see a forum dedicated to these cats and hope it grows to include many more members! My name is Cyndi and I've had the good fortune to be friends with Kim and Arlene for about 14 or 15 years. I've also had the good fortune to be owned by several DLX over the years. Currently I have two spayed females, Zuni and Pandora. I will place some pictures of them in the appropriate forum after this post. At the moment, they are lounging on my bed beside me. Where I go, they go. They have been my friends, my companions and my solace in troubled times and there is nothing better than a DLX from Arlene! I'm retired, and I now have all day to spend with the cats. Ain't life grand?

You know, I don't even think about the user name I have because I've used it for years, but just in case anyone is curious - no I have not killed six people LOL I am Cherokee, and my grandmother's maiden name was Sixkiller - they go back a very long way and we have extensive info on my relatives on the native american side. So Luna because I am fascinated by the moon - plus my first name - my real name is Cynthia - which my mother spelled Cyndi for short, and (from wikepedia): Cynthia was originally an epithet of the Greek goddess of the moon, Artemis, who according to legend, was born on Mount Cynthus. Selene, the Greek personification of the Moon, and the Roman Diana (by way of their identification with Artemis) were also sometimes called "Cynthia". And then of course sixkiller or 6killer to shorten it. Just an FYI <g> BTW, there are Two Killers, Tenkillers, Sixkillers and other 'killer' last names within the Cherokee tribe. From what little I can dredge up on the origin of the name, it may have something to do with the tribe's law givers or 'sheriffs' if you will. I do know that my grandmother had the entire set of law books - written in Cherokee - from her father (Abraham Lincoln Sixkiller) handed down from his father (Soldier Sixkiller) And perhaps some of you have read books that mention Sam Sixkiller? Yup, a way in the past relative of mine. Oh and yes, I am also distantly related to Sonny Sixkiller LOL

Very interesting indeed. I had assumed American Indian, but had no idea what tribe. I had guessed it came from a Six Gun, or revolver. Sugar, has some Cherokee blood in her lines as well...

Glad it wasn't boring.<g> I'm proud of my Cherokee heritage and consider myself native american even tho half of me is white - and of very mixed heritage there too! Has she tried to trace her Cherokee heritage? Maybe we're related!
