To all TCS members, new and old:
There has been a rash of misplaced threads on the boards in recent weeks. We all realize that the Lounge is a heavily trafficked forum, but concerns about cat health or behavior do not belong in this forum. If you feel your cat's health is that big of an emergency, you should be picking up the phone and dialing your vet.
When you post threads concerning the care, health, or behavior of your cat in the appropriate forum, an email goes out automatically to the moderators of those forums. One of the reasons those folks are moderators of those areas is because they are knowlegable.
When you post in the Lounge, the first mod that sees the misplaced thread will move it, but the same email notification does not go out. Therefore, your thread may be missed by a person who may have useful advice for you!
Remember also, that the archives of our forums serve as educational material for future visitors who have similar concerns. It is difficult to find pertinent health information in a search if the forums are not kept organized.
Thank you for your attention.
