Question

I've been here since this place was about 4 months old. We have always been fortunate to have members who have good knowledge about cats and are willing to share it.

This site has grown and evolved over the past 4 years and added features and forums to keep members interested in staying here.

We've been accused many times of being too nice and having too many rules. But we run a forum that demands you respect the other members if you want to belong here. People treat others the way they want to be treated.

I belong to this forum only, I was a member of another forum but the owner went nuts to put it mildly and I decided it wasnt for me. Now I am a member of this one only and I love it here!

Oh, it's the Moderators! Definitely! (I'm kidding!!!)

Seriously, it's a lot of everything. It's that this is a safe place, a lot because of the Rules that do put forth the expectation of respecting each other. It's a friendly place - I've made so many friends here, and although I haven't met them (except one so far ) face to face they mean as much to me as anyone I know locally. It's that we all share a common bond of our wonderful kitties, and we can all be crazy cat ladies here and never be embarassed or harassed because of it. And it is because of the forums, the ones where we can seek help or help others, the ones where we can socialize and get to know each other and our kitties, the one where we can have intelligent debates and still respect each other in the morning. It's everything that Anne has created and has flourished with the wonderful members here.

It has always felt like home here to me even in the beginning. I am proud of my affiliation here and especially of the mod team as they are really the best. As Deb says, we have been charged with being to nice a board, but I have been on some that are constantly in flames and that gets old. I really feel that we are only beginning to grow here and look toward bigger things in the future as far as new things added to the site as well as more members signing on.

I belonged to another cat forum for a short while and one of the members posted a link to this place. I came looked around and haven't been back since. I like really active messages boards and this one definately fills that need. Add into that nice knowledgable people and I was hooked.

This is the first one that came up and looked interesting to me when I typed in "cat forums" on the internet....and it`s the one and only one I need!

this is my first and only cat forum and i love it

This is the only cat forum, that I've ever been a member of. I found this place, the first week, that I had a computer and I've been here, ever since.

This is my first and only cat forum. I am not a forum, chat person normally. When I found Guzzler, I needed some help and pointers. I have raised calves, goats, ..... but, he is our first bottle kitty. I have had cats for most of my adult life. However, most of them came to me as adults which if not already, were speutered ASAP. I have had one litter of kittens born in my care and that was because Princess was too far along to do anything else but have kittens.

One day I googled something to do with felines -- haven't a clue what now, it certainly wasn't urgent -- and one of the first hits was TCS. I came and looked around, and looked around, and looked around, and decided I needed to stay. I had never joined another forum of any kind at that point, and while I belong to a few others now, none of them is to do with cats, and I spend little time on them. What do I need that TCS doesn't provide? All the information I could want, either right here or links to tons of stuff elsewhere, and a great community of friends who understand 10000% what it is to be besotted with felines, and what it is to be human.

This has been and will always be my only cat forum.

This is a VERY special place. It has magic. It has love from the furthest places on earth. It has compassion, fairness, respect, and a very special ethic that simply dictates we are all here for our deep love of cats and our respect for life -- human, feline, and otherwise. This place is where people from all walks of life can be themselves, will know they are accepted, and where ALL kitties are loved.

You gotta understand: the power of 8,000 cat people is a very powerful thing.

I used to be a member of Acmepets.com before it was taken done. That was a LOOOOONG time ago. They had alot of trolls and flaming there. If someone even MENTIONED that thier cat had stole a piece of cheese, or a sip of milk, you were the worst person in the world! This board is MUCH more laid back and friendly
