I joined because I was specifically looking for a cat forum. At that time, I was interested in training, but I also was just looking for a forum in general. I checked out a different one first, but the tone really turned me off -- there were a lot of rules, and the moderators seemed kind of rude/angry about them. I don't mind rules, but the place just wasn't very welcoming. I'm very glad to be here!
I can be rude and angry. :lol3:

I'm sure you can be -- I think everyone can -- it's just that you're not consistently rude and angry!

Found it through a Google search, Cat Health forum, and pow... here I am.  I can usually handle most cat emergencies but a stray wandered in with symptoms I'd never dealt with so I went looking for thoughts and advice and found some good ones!  SO glad I found this forum :)

We are very happy to have you on here. Even better having another Broncos fan.

I have been a Denver fan since I went to a Denver Bears (minor league baseball) game in the 60s. I'm not a big football fan really, but if the Broncos are playing, I will watch it if I can get it on broadcast TV.

Looking for cat information and I stumbled upon this sight... It was a link shared on another sight.  My search was over as soon as I landed here.  After lurking for 10 mins I decided to become a member. '

Thanks for all the help and support!

I was writing about a stray I was caring for on the tarantula forum I frequent in the not so spineless wonders forum and one of the members there suggest this site to me. . . I joined the same day and am glad that I did, everyone here is so nice and helpful! :)

I joined in 2008 after trying to find suggestions on safest [color= rgb(24, 24, 24)]anesthetics[/color]

 for my baby Gizmo who had feline leukemia. I didn't return to the site until Gizmo passed a year later and it was then that I realized I found a place where  I'm not the crazy cat lady and in fact people love their cats as much as I love mine. I know years can pass and I'll still find my way back to this place.

I found TCS by googling raw-fed cat information. It was the egg yolk lecithin thread that got me to join.

Only a couples weeks ago while staying up all night with my boy waiting for the vet to open i stumbled across the site.

I'm very big cat lover, and unfortunately I'm friends with alot of people who absolutely hate cats so I was looking for a forum where I could talk to people about cats in general and get advise on health, Nutrition ect.

I'm so much happier now that I've joined this site and am pleased to see how many other people are out there that seem to love cats just as much as I do :)

My friends don't hate cats but they certainly don't want to hear about them as much as I want to talk about them! Nice to be able to chat away here and post all the CCPs (Cute Cat Pictures) I want. :-)

3 months ago I got somewhat manipulated into getting Midnight- a nice lady at work asked me if I wanted a kitten and showed me a pic and she was so CUTE!! So I said yes and took her in and then the whole responsibility thing hit me- I had to make sure the little weasel was gonna be happy.

I had a kitty back home in Romania which me and my mom raised from being a little tiny thing I found on the street, but this was different- when we got our kitty back home we were rather poor and we could rarely afford nice stuff for him... but he was comfy and very loved.

Midnight is loved and happy and spoiled, and the whole process was a lot  easier than I thought thanks to your advice. Thank you all for your help.

NOw I'm thinking whether I can get a new kitty after moving to Germany so Midnight won't be too lonely
