I can't remember. I know it was in google but I can't recall if I was looking for something and saw the answer here or if I was searching for something and came across something that intrigued me.
We got our third cat in Dec and I got bit more active around "new kitty" issues. I think I finally stumbled on this site by yahoo search. It was not one of the first sites that came up on google but several others I looked at were pretty inactive, so I just browsed them but did not join.
I remember how I got here... Glitch was sick with FIP, and I was reading all the information I could get my hands on after reading the first few articles I came across this one! I actually put in Feline Infectious Peritinitis though! So I came here and I used the first name I could think of which of course was Glitch, and for some strange reason that name wasn't taken so I got on and I do believe my first thread was titled "My cat has FIP, how do I comfort him?"
Yeah, Im glad I did though, you guys were all there for me in his last days, and after he passed...
I was just thinking... "I wonder what brought everyone else to this site?"
My first time here, I was looking for information on bone diseases. My little Neville was all kinds of broken and no one could give me an answer. All they knew was that his bone density was decreased. This was the only place I found other people who had animals with Nevilles same problem. Its been almost two years now and I still learn new things from this site everyday. (Like how to socialize a feral kitten, or whats a good diet for my diabetic)
Looking to find out why the heck my cat was peeing on the carpet and bedding!
And I'm so happy I found it! This site is completely awesome! Plus I dont feel like as much of a crazy cat person! LOL
I came here when I was looking for help with my 17 year old cat who had CRF. I will always be grateful to this site for all the advice and support I was given.
I lurked off and on for a few months but didn't join until I saw that someone was commenting on the way they cared for their leopard gecko (misting it and a few other things). Misting a leo, a desert reptile, is just asking for it to get sick with a respiratory infection. That corrected, I hung around.
