I don't remember now what the cat question was that I had, but I googled it, and one of the hits was TCS, and the rest is history. Why would anybody ever leave this place once they found it?
It was a referral by another board completely different from cats. I was a member of a wedding board just before I got married and then haunted it for a little while after but felt silly since I was already married.
Anywho, Oscar had surgery on May 28th last year latter on then next day he had popped a stitch and was bleeding. It was kind of late at night and I was frantic I didn't know what to do. Somone on that wedding board suggested that I come here to get answers for my baby boy. Everyone was so helpful and didn't make fun or flame me cause I didn't know what to do for him. They got me calmed down and made me feel very welcome here so I have been haunting this board ever since
I clicked a "Pets and Animals - Cats" link, in my ISP's directory and this was the first site listed. 2 1/2 years, later - here I still be! I DID go check out a dog site but, I didn't like it.
A number of years ago, when this site was very young, Anne was writing a 'cat tip of the day' for a service that I received in my email each day. I followed the link to TCS from there, and I have been here ever since.
Although i'm a member of a really small one in the UK, i was also on another in the USA, which was a good site but no where near as good as TCS.
The reason i left was because there was too many callous people coming on to the site saying what they wanted to do with cats just to wind the members up
.
I used to tell the members to ignore them and to not reply as this is what they wanted. I also sent e-mails asking a moderator to stop the idiots in question because it was really upsetting a lot of people but nothing came of it, so i'd had enough and started tapping the keyboard at random and found TCS
Then i got an e-mail from one of the mods a few weeks ago saying they had missed me and hoped i would be back- Yeah when hell freezes over!!!
I was searching for something on feral cats. Googled feral cats and kidney problems, I think. I was happy to find other people who are as "weird" as I am.
