There's no evidence that anyone was attempting to cause trouble. The reason given for moving the thread to IMO was that it was straying off topic. It's a very insensitive and nonsensical thing that you've done and your canned explanation doesn't address my complaint in all its specifics.

betsygee isn't a moderator??? I respectfully request that my membership be revoked. Oh, I forgot to mention that there is no mention of this rule in the tutorial which purports to explain how to post a reply.

"newbies"? Consider that at least one unsuspecting member of the less-than-100-posts club was attracted to the thread and posting in it before participation was suddenly restricted.

Why is this the rule? It seems a strange one indeed. Furthermore it prevents those who don't meet the criteria, but who have already posted in the thread, thereby contributing to the discussion, from continuing. Furthermore this rule should be set forth in the preface to the forum so...

...either at the beginning or at the end of FEEDING OTHER PEOPLE'S CATS in the forum IMO.

I have a cat named DevilCat. When he first came, he made life miserable for the others. He has many quirks (idiosyncrasies), one of the more amusing of which is that he always paws ritualistically, with his right paw, at the wall of the shower stall next to his water pan before drinking. He...

She's a truly good looking kitten...and great photos. I find myself wanting to reach into the computer and pet her. My family expanded recently too when a stray tiger tabby about that age chose my garage as a refuge for her five little ones. One is a seal lynx point bicolor female that really...

I have a declawed cat; I assume he wasn't born clawless. He is one of two cats I took in about 3 years ago in the dead of a Wyoming winter. They would always come into the yard together around dusk, and were obviously malnourished and suffering from the bitter cold. Keen observer that I am, I...

Hi jennyk, Tell us about your five-month-old male please. What's that he's lounging on?

Yes, Merlin2000, that's what she reminds me of...watching her she looks more like a puppy than a cat...is less playful and active than the others, except for her buddy, a wild-looking little guy-the smallest of the litter-who often plays by himself and continues to be skittish. She is the...

OK...got it! I ran across a pic of a Ragdoll while searching for a lookalike; thought it came close to matching my SEAL LYNX POINT BICOLOR (SLPB for short). Should I call her sloppy or slippy? I'm so glad I found you! No way to guess the "breed" or color pattern of the father? Not breeding...

Thank you, GemsGem, for your comments and the tutorial. Now I'm much closer to being an expert in coat color classification...seriously. Thanks also for the compliment. This kitten lacks the dark face seen in most colorpoints, doesn't she? Also, her legs and toes are "white" (cream?)-as is...

Hi all! This is my debut. This kitten is one of five born to a very young, stray tiger tabby (I know-not a breed!). I'm honored that "momma" chose my detached and unheated garage-which is too full of junk to park a car in-as a refuge for her little ones. It's winter here, so after a...
