Cats discussion

I've noticed since joining this group that, to put it bluntly, a lack of activity on the part of the current moderator of this group. It concerns me that this group will die out and we're all united by our love of cats. Therefore I'm asking if anyone would want to take over as moderator. I would do it myself but I already have another group. I could however help if someone wants to take over. Please someone step up and volunteer. Thank you.

It has been quiet (although I've been a lurker, myself, so no room to talk at all), but according to her profile, the mod has been active this month.

Perhaps shooting her a PM would help, and we could all brainstorm some ideas for upping activity/interest in the group.

I did send a PM and received no response. Not trying to disrespect anyone and apologogize if I have but something needs to be done if this group is to survive, whatever that may be. Thanks for the input.

I hate to say it, but perhaps something happened to her. When I first came on here several years ago it was about books that had cats in them and was fairly active. Then suddenly it went silent. Now there are just a few posts a month. I don't have a lot to say because I have already said which books with cats I liked. She could have been elderly and unable to keep up with moderator duties.

I would like it to be more active. But...i would suck as a moderator

Have to think on this some but I'm sure that a solution can be found that will satisfy members.

I posted on here as I am an author that wrote a book about a cat. "THE TALE OF THISBE AN EXTRAORDINARY CAT" is the first book. I am editing the second book now about the rest of her life. Hoping to make it for 2015 release. Both of my cats, Thisbe & Blanca, have passed on and I have not "replaced" as I could never do that. I am waiting for the time when another cat finds me like my other two did.

I am so very sorry about the loss of your kitties. Unfortunately I've been through that myself. 2 lived to 19 but 1 was only 2 yrs old and passed in my husband's arms from a massive heart attack. Much love and comfort sent your way to deal with this. Maybe at some point if another kitty doesn't find you you could try a shelter.

I want to be able to afford another kitty. Right now that is not possible as I can barely afford to keep my husband and I afloat. When the time is right there will be another kitty in my life ( or maybe 2 or 3!)

Terri, my heart aches for you. I recently applied for an apartment where the rule was one animal period. I had a letter from the doctor stating that my cats are therapeutic but they said no exceptions. I was horrified about what to do (I have to move; the person letting me stay here is anxious to have me get a place of my own.) Luckily(?) for other reasons that didn't work out and we are now looking at other places. My cats are my family.

I would NEVER split up my cats. They hung together. Karen, I hope you and your fur family find a happy home. Part 2 of my Thisbe book introduces Blanca, my second cat. Thisbe made lots of friends.

I am sorry that I haven't read your book yet Terri. I will get it and am looking forward to it. I always said I would never split my cats up. But I really see God's grace in making that apartment unavailable to me.

Hi all! So sorry my busy life got in the way of your good time. I thought everyone could play by themselves like every other group I've been in. I suppose you want me to continuously start new discussions? Start a book club? Generally entertain you? Is that about right?

You're right. I thought I'd be here a hell of a lot more. Who'd like to be moderator?

Okay, I've made you a moderator =)

Don't read this it was awful.
