    Bashful's journey back from grief

    Bashful In October of 2021, we lost Burdock, our oldest feral. He and Bashful had become quite bonded, and were forever together. After his passing, we thought that we were also going to lose Bashful as well; she refused to eat anything, instead wandering around to all of the places where she...

    R.I.P., Burdock

    Burdock 2011- 2021 He was our first feral, adopted off the street while still a kitten, and he turned out to be any cat person's- nobody ever owns a cat- dream. He was a cuddler, a lap cat, mild-mannered, and his purr would register on the Richter scale. The only good thing is that there is no...

    Plagiarism

    What, if any, is the remedy if someone copies a post without attributing it to the original poster. I saw a post that was copied word for word from a post I made 4 months ago, not as a quote, but taken as their own.

    DRYER WARNING

    Michele had mentioned that the clothes were taking longer to dry than normal, so I took the back off and removed the exhaust duct. What I found was enough to scare the bejeebers out of me. The ports were almost completely blocked- mostly with cat hair- and there was more down by the fan motor...

    Describing Burdock's color

    I know that Burdock isn't any special breed- he started out as a feral that we adopted. What I would like to know is how to describe his coloration, as he has stripes, swirls, and a few spots, so I thought to ask those who would be better versed in the terminology than I.

    Veterans?

    I have noticed that some members have a badge that says 'veteran'. Does this refer to the number of posts or to their status as a military veteran? I ask because I am a veteran- I served between '67 and '71.

    Velcro, We Still Miss You- A Long Post

    Halloween is big on our street, and I was putting up decorations when I heard meowing. There was a cat's head poking from our neighbor's hedge, but as soon as it saw me, the cat disappeared. It showed up again several times in the following days, but always ran off again. Finally, we started...

    Crossing The Bridge Appropriate?

    We lost a cat to cancer. This happened about 9 years ago, long before TCS was on our radar. Should I put the story on Crossing the Bridge, or is another forum more appropriate?

    Feral Cats-- Any Ideas As To Breed (s)?

    Burdock is just one of our feral cats, and I was wondering what his ancestry might be. He is big- 17 pounds @ his last vet visit, with a head the size of a grapefruit but he isn'the fat- just big. I have never had a store-bought cat- all stray/abandoned or feral, so I am asking someone who might...
