Michele,

I hope you find your way back soon. Miss your Pengy updates. Hope Pengy has made contact with you.

Where'd the thread go? What happened? That was my only record of her and my progress....I'm sad. Very sad. I had to re-register, too....I wonder if all my threads disappeared? This was the important one, though...(I was hoping to compete decently in the "thread of the year" contest, but that can't happen now because the thread's gone.) All my struggles and all Pengy's accomplishments are gone - the records, at least. I am upset.

Um, updates.

Well, she's doing well. We have begun playing very intensively with the new feather wand; she really really enjoys that. She'll catch it, bite it, chew it, and attack it without blinking because I'm at the end of it. And she allows me to stroke her gently with it, for a time. She gets mad after a while, so I'm learning the "retreat" signals (which have changed from earlier...). Mostly I catch them in time, but last night she got pissed and I didn't catch it. She lashed out at me - very different from her play - and I backed off immediately.

No contact as of yet, but this is a level of interaction which had not been seen before. This bodes well, I think...

Best-
Michele

I'm also sad to see the thread gone, I never posted on the other one but I always enjoyed reading the updates.

I'm sorry your thread is gone, too, Michele, but I'm glad you're back.

It sounds like you've made quite a lot of progress with Pengy. I'm inspired by your patience and perserverance.

It's a shame about losing the thread. I wonder if there is any way to recover the really important threads without jeopardizing the safety of the board. Becky

Sorry guys there isn't.

Michelle she is behaving typically for a cat who is getting over-stimulated in play. Try backing off a bit and just letting the feather sit in front of her without getting her prey instinct engaged. Always after playing follow it up with a tasty treat, so she can calm down- she has caught her "prey" so now you have to let her taste the victory-

Pengy is making such great progress, Michele, clearly a testament of how wonderful you are and what a sweet, special baby she is! I'm so sorry her thread was lost, you must feel so upset.

We've missed you.

It works great, and all the threads should be archived in Google somewhere- Thanks Marion for doing this!

I've found I can access the cached first page for several threads but none of the subsequent pages. There's probably a way to access those as well but I don't know what it is at the moment.

Michele, I'm sorry the Pengy thread is gone. Sounds to me like Pengy is becoming more and more of a "regular cat" everyday--of course, Pengy could never be just a regular cat to you, or to us for that matter
, but you know what I mean.

out of curiosity.. if google has all the threades cached/if that archive is available, can you not use those caches to fix the site? I'm a bit rusty as far as that goes...
