Five years ago today, Anne posted the first post of these forums. She had built this website based on her love for feral cats, and in her country (Israel) feral cats are considered vermin. But regardless of this, she designed this website, gearing it for the American cat lover.

Three years ago, she was ready to throw in the towel and shut it all down, but instead she invited me to join her as her Marketing Director and partner- and here we are today.

The following photo was supposed to be a quilt- but maybe a small wall hanging will do instead?
My thanks to those of you who contributed a square for this project- and I know the photo will not do your work justice.






If you would like to sign her guestbook, and read the story about the begining to this wonderful website- here is the link- Special thanks go to Heidi for creating this website to honor this wonderful lady-

TCS Anniversary Site

We have survived where many have failed. We have lived through the big crash. We have laughed together, cried together, gotten mad together. But through it all the one thing that has remained constant is our respect for each other and our love for cats-



So Happy Fifth Anniversary TCS! May you keep flying HIGH!

Wow! Really lovely to read something so special first thing in the morning - great work everyone, that quilt is lovely!

I am glad that TCS is still around after 5 years, it has been a great help to many cat lovers as well as a place to chat and meet new friends.

Well done to all those involved on making this place the place it is today!

Thank goodness I have all of those years of working for Farrell's where all we ever did was sing stuff like that to the customers.

Where my cats are
Thank you Anne and thank you everyone for maintaining such a wonderful site. This place has done me a world of good. I've loved learning, laughing, and relaxing here.

Congratulations TCS! Heres to another 5 and many more cuddly kitty years!


And thank you to all the Mods for all you do for TCS too!
