Fortissimo's bio About This Page:

[Fortissimo]

Hi! My name is Fortissimo and I am a 21 year-old tabby cat with gorgeous green eyes. When I was 12 I got an owie in my eye, causing the cornea to rupture. Did you know cats can have corneal transplants? Neither did my mom. Of course it depleated her WDW savings account so she had to wait another year before she could visit that mouse named Mickey. Boy am I lucky she loves me a lot!

I have three younger siblings: Tigger, 15, who is the sweetest dog in the world; and Caesar Augustus, 5, who, shall we say is a pain? He eats my food so I get a little cranky with him now and then. Oh, and mom and dad got a new thing called Jack, a Golden Receiver. He never brings anything back so they must have bought the generic brand of Golden Retriever. Jack used to eat shoes, but now he has moved on to socks. He is so hyper he has to go to daycare twice a week!

I guess I should also tell you about my Mom and Dad. My mom, Robin, uses my name here on the boards. (I charge her a handful of kitty treats/day for usage rights). She married my dad, Greg, in 1997. Both mom and dad leave me with Tigger, Caesar, and Jack everyday as they go off to teach. Mom is in her 19th year as a middle school instrumental music teacher and Dad teaches 7th grade social studies.

My mom fell in love with Mickey and Pooh as a young girl. She refused to wear any clothes that didn't have Mickey or Pooh, so my grandma would have to sew the mouse and the bear on mom's clothes. Mom finally got to meet Mickey for the first time when she was 11. She went to California for a swim meet and grandma and grandpa took her and her older sister to Disneyland after the meet.

Since that trip, the wanna-be Fortissimo has been to DL once (college) and WDW 9 times. She was addicted to Virtual Magic Kingdom and could be found running around setting off fireworks or designing rooms under the title Fortissimo or Avalanchefan. However, Disney closed VMK and now my mom is in the VMK recovery program. When Disney closed VMK, mom decided to boycott Disney for a while. The boycott didn't last long, and getting over her bitterness she booked her next trip to WDW for December 2009.

Hope to see you in the forums! (I help keep Mom's lap warm when she is here on the boards so I get to help answer questions!)
