There will be some planned downtime starting Wednesday, June 15th at 9am EDT. The board will be closed for approximately 12 to 24 hours while we work on migrating to a new forum software. For more information on the move, check out the Board Change Announcements thread.
Very sorry for your loss Steve. Their little lives shine so bright, it is near impossible to get used to the darkness of their absence. Here's to the happiness all of our kitties have brought us! We're so much the better for it
So, this has happened. After about a year and a half of mourning for my dear, departed Rawley, fate has seen fit to join my life with this new one. I present to you the magical Delicate Dee (I named her after my niece's toy bird), saved from the streets by friendly neighbors. You just never know~
Awww, just so nice Rei. If anybody could say 'no' to that face, then this is a harsh a cruel world I don't want to live. Very amazing of you to welcome a new friend into your home.
Thanks for the kind words everybody. It means a lot. It has been (and still is) difficult, and I really appreciate the thoughts and sharing of others' stories.
Odd indeed. But I imagine that for most people who would get a look at the workspaces/comfort zones of the folks here, they would be wondering a lot more about the people with plastic monster toys everywhere, and might not even think twice about such a 'collage.'
Ah, it has been far too long since I revisited this thread. And I can always rely on it to give me a good cheer up, so thanks everyone for sharing. Nothing quite like a kitteh pick me up, (and it sure helps when great toys are also involved too! ).
