that we used to have still rush back here for consolation if their cats die.
Facebook isn't adequate for that, is it? Let me tell you all that unless you all post to this group regularly it will die and you won't get any purrs and prayers from anyone. |

I think she was just informing the group, who used to know Francis, that he had passed. I don't read her post as "now wants us". |

I hope that it reminds her how many good friends are here and makes her want to post. Judith -- Judith Latham Stourbridge, West Midlands. UK. I feel the same way, Judith. Some people prefer Facebook, I don't really care. If someone needs comforting after the loss of a beloved cat, I don't have a problem with them posting here. (Apparently Wafflycat wasn't on FB anyway.) Jill |

I refuse to post to Facebook or Twitter - too much danger of personal information falling into the hands of hackers and scammers.

I don't begrudge old friends who use FB from coming here if they've lost a beloved pet and want to let us know about it. Jill |

No need to get into the Facebook debate again. I've never seen a need for a debate really-it seems like some people are saying "You're either here or in FB but you can't be in both". I use both as I say FB is fine for short notes, funny photos, a few lines updating people or contacting people but I regard here as the online equivalent of a bar/coffee shop because I come here to chat to friends Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

Let me tell you all that unless you all post to this group regularly it will die and you won't get any purrs and prayers from anyone. I just came back here on a whim since I've been away a while now, to see how some old friends were doing. I gotta say, when I saw this post I thought, "what a mean and nasty thing to say." If I haven't heard from a friend in a while because our lives had led to different paths, I surely would *not* be so petty and cruel about a death in their family. This "whim" proved one thing - I was right in leaving the group and going to a nicer, friendlier place. Don't bother replying, I'm outta here faster than the first time. -- CatNipped |

That person was *deluged* with sympathetic replies, hugs, and purrs galore on FaceBook without even *ONE* nasty dig - there was no need at all for her to "rush back here", she was going above and beyond just to let old friends of Francis here know he'd passed. I think we can see now why she hadn't posted here in so long. Sheesh, don't know why I bothered. -- CatNipped |
