Welcome to Steemit, Margaret! So glad to have you with us.

Sooty is absolutely adorable. My wife @alladesria and I have five cats of our very own, and one looks remarkably like your little fuzz ball there.

If you're looking for good short stories, there are some fantastic writers on Steemit right now. Authors like @alexbayman, @voltarius, and @ericvancewalton are some of our rising stars. I'm an author as well, so feel free to check out my feed too if you're so inclined.

Have a great time here and don't forget to ask lots of questions about anything you might not understand about the platform! Any questions your son can't answer for you, that is.

Have fun!
