Goodbye and goodluck

I want to say bye to the people that are on here who have been nice to me, but it seems that my cats since alot of them are in outside houses or run arent as good as the majority on here, so i have deleted all the pics that i can so nobody has to look at them anymore. 14+ good luck with your caturary , i hope you tame your new furbaby. Thanks again to the people who have helped me on this site. Goodbye.

Edwina I dont know what happened but wanted you to know I enjoyed all of your pics you posted! as I am sure many others did too! You are an amazing person to save the kitties the way you do! Also it gave me some ideas on how to build them!!

I have been a member for a little while and have seen quite a few people leave but just wanted to say you can ignore those that are upsetting you and just chat with those on here who like to do that with you! its hard sometimes but everyone here is from diffeent backgrounds, ctiies, customs, countries you name it and we all differ in opinion! it takes some getting used too! we also have some nasty trolls and spammers and that also makes it tough!

Cheers

Cindy

Edwina - Please reconsider leaving. This time of the year is a bit rough with quite a few of the regulars on holidays and such. I sincerely hope that our regulars do not feel that just because some of your cats are outside that they are less pets than those in the house. I know you do what you can to feed the strays in your area and to fix those you can. For that you deserve a huge and a !
I wasn't signed in when you posted your new house yesterday but I did get a chance to see it before you deleted it. Oggie looked very happy in it. I am sure you do your best to help as many as you can.
Come back and get to know some of us more. Maybe you can get ideas for making a larger run/kennel that can be joined together so kitties can have company. It works well for me.
And thanks for the good wishes. The newest guy in the garage is coming around slowly. The big black one in the catuary - not so much.

Edwina, people do what they can. You're situation may not be the same as someone elses, but that doesn't make your cats that you have outside any less a loved pet than ones that are inside. You've taken the time to make safe little enclosures for yours, and you are helping as many as you can.

I hope you reconsider.

Edwina,I don't know what happened,or what was said to make you feel this way,but of course staying or not is your choice:sad:
Anyone,rescuing and caring for stray,unwanted cats is an in my book and all cats are beautiful,whether they are a roughed up Tom or a pure-bred.
There is no such thing as a cat not measuring up..
I wish I was younger,had the space to do what you,14+ and several others do,it would be a life-time commitment
I know some cats will never be lap-cats,will live outside,but what you are doing,keeping them healthy and well fed,is a life-line to them and I for one am very greatful there are people like you.

The problem was that i had posted pics of Oggies house and him, and 28 people had looked at it and nobody commented on it. So i figured most everyone disapproved of what i did. I also put up pics of my cats in another section of this thread, and only a few commented on those, so i figured if you didnt have about 1000 posts nobody wanted to talk about your pets. So i took the pics down that i could. :sad:

Ditto. Validate yourself and be proud of what your doing ... which is making a difference to the ones' who might otherwise starve :sad: I can't imagine it being easy having to feed so many out of pocket
