However, as a motivational tool, praise for a wanted behavior is the best way to have that behavior continue. ; I like reading the stories, I want to continue to have stories to read, ergo I need to show my appreciation for the stories I do read.

I tend to be overly sensitive (read egotistical - the whole world revolves around ME! ;), and when someone doesn't respond to my post - especially when someone quits responding to all my posts - I start to worry that I have offended them in some way. I would *die* if I gave offense to anyone here, you guys are just so great, so kind, so caring - it would be like kicking a kitten to hurt one of you in any way. So, even a "LOL" or "Me too" post helps let me know that you're OK with what I've written here. Exactly. You hit the nail right on the head, so far as I'm concerned. I'm also overly sensitive, and think that I offended someone when no one responds to my posts. Even though I know, in my head, that everyone is busy and may not have something to say, there's still a little place within me that wonders what I did wrong "this time." I know that I didn't do something wrong, but still there's a part of me that says that I did. Blame it on faulty programing, I guess. Pam S. |

Dan M had some very interesting things to say about
An idea for a mass purr day: And if a few people are game, hows about we try a smaller experiment for the more pressing purr requests, maybe this Saturday/Sunday? Evening Saturday for us USAians and Sunday AM for the OZians and New Zealanders. I'll try to build up a list of the most pressing purr requests I've seen on the newsgroup and will post it here in a day or so. If anyone has any additional purr requests they'd like added, please let me know via the group or via e-mail (dan at wolf dot com). I think this could be cool! Felix and Ava have daily purr/coo sessions. Yes, the bird has been renamed. "He" surprised us this morning, after 20 months of acquaintance, with an egg [she's an only bird]. -- "The universe is quite robust in design and appears to be doing just fine on its own, incompetent support staff notwithstanding. :-)" - the Dennis formerly known as (evil), MCFL |

But I do read and appreciate the stories. Sometimes I really need the boost of a cute cat story. I will try to do more replying, even if it is just a LOL! Since Amber died, my house is too quiet and I miss the rascal that inspired so many stories. Maybe when I am through grieving, I will find more humor in my household of cats. Maybe my broken heart would benefit from a group purr. -- CATherine I'm sure it would. In the meantime, here's a purr from me and my furbabies. -- Joy Owned and operated by Lindy and Skeeter |

When I wasn't able to get on line, Yowie was good enough to post a message for me about Skeeter, who has been diagnosed with CRF. Her numbers are quite high, and have raised drastically in the past six months. She has also lost three pounds in two months. I'm doing my best to keep her comfortable and do what is right for her. I know eventually I'll have to make that hardest decision, and I pray I'll know when that time comes. She is still able to snuggle and purr for me, and she is eating a little (very little), so I know that time is not yet, but I'm afraid it may be soon. Hugs and purrs going out for you and Skeeter. She will let you knwo when the time comes. -- CATherine Thank you, CATherine. Joy |
