So, who's watching you?

Hey everyone sorry to interrupt the conversation

I joined TCS just because I was searching google for a really nice cat forum. Somewhere where people would understand and not make fun of me for having cats or think me insane for loving cats so much. And I found TCS, which is all this and much much more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Like so many other people have said, I like it 'cause nobody judges you or anybody else and there are so many people you can relate with and laugh with. And there are so many knowledgable people on here who you can come to for advice. And everybody loves cats!!!! Duh!

TCS is like a big family. There is SO much more good I could say about this place, but it would take up pages upon pages........
I love everyone here!!

I am here because one day, years ago, my mom and dad decided to have a little intamicy, and then 11 months later I arrived!

I googled something or other feline -- I have no idea now what it was, and it wasn't an emergency or anything, just curiosity -- and one of the first hits, if not the first, was TCS. Dropped in, had a look around, knew I had to stay. All of that took maybe as much as an hour.

The sense of community comes right out to meet you, and it's quite clear that here at last is a wonderful big group of people who really understand what it is to be besotted with cats -- unlike so many people who don't get it, that that critter who shares a home with you is not "just a cat".

And before long, you've met a whole bunch of friends, and are learning things you didn't know you didn't know...

I joined when we first brought Moo and Noo home and Moo was having runny poo. (had to keep the oo's going there!) I fell in love with reading about everyone's cats and seeing the pictures and here I am +2,000 posts later!

11? I thought it was supposed to be 10? Or are you just 'well done'?

Wow, 11 months? Are you sure about that?

I have found that in the computer age it is easy to find a forum for your hobbies. I have so many.. Cooking, Backyard Birds, Fishing and of coarse Cats. Love for Cats for me has been growing over the years and has reached a point where I realize they'll be part of our lives forever. I found this site and think it's the best. Great poeple and information.

That's a dire problem! Ya know, we would love to help you with that...

I originally came here looking for non-boyfriend cat advice (he thinks he knows EVERYTHING).
Then after seeing how friendly people are around here and how non-judgemental everyone is (and no one says stupid stuff like the people in the IT forums can say), I decided to hang around!

OK, I admit it I have no life. J/K

I came here in a hurry for answers. I took in a feral cat..and it wasnt going so well. It was my first feral, and he probably should have been kept somewhere else. He was WILD! jumping all over everything and freaking out, like he's never seen walls before. It was a very scary experience...

And TCS was there to help me before ANY other cat site answered. So, I wanted to learn more about my feral, and I kept asking questions, and everyone was so darn nice, I just had to stay. Been here ever scince.

I love TCS
