Hi, I just came across you and hope I can visit a while.
I just left a cat chat room I was in for over 10 yrs. It used to be so much fun because we all pretended we were our cats and talked!!! We talked about good stuff like catnip and litterboxes and silly stuff. It was a great escape and a lot of fun.
Unfortunately, a few years back, it became a place to sit and gripe about the government. I hold very different views that most of them, so I was constantly being attacked. It got to point where I could hardly stand it. I told them this over and over. The other night, their rants became extremely nasty and I blew up big time and let them have it, and I pulled out. These were people that used to say they were my friends. Boy, are they ever nasty now!!!
I have yet to find anything that looks like the old place used to, but you know what - you have a separate place for discussing off-topic stuff, and quite frankly - you can complain about your government til the cows come home and it wouldn't bother me anyhow!!!! Just don't complain about mine!!!
SO, enough about that. My LOis, whose name I take here, is a big black domestic short hair who will turn 17 on the 22nd. She is a diabetic, but otherwise in good health. She is a funny cat and real character, and loves her daddy. BT is a Honey Bear Cat, a breed you may not have there, and he is a big fuzzy dark silver tabby with a mane and tail to die for. He is my baby boy.
We live in upstate NY near Rochester, the home of Bausch and Lomb, Xerox and Kodak. My DH is about to celebrate his 30th anniversary at the Big K, which makes him an old timer. Kodak has not been well managed and is paying the price. I gave up the whole working thing a few years back as it was interferring with my life!!! I am now happily at home, quilting, playing on the internet, and pestering my two cats!!!
I hope you don't mind if I am here. I am hurting and lonely and will be glad to see some good cat stories and hear about you.
Thanks, LOis
