Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2006The last post I am going to make about Tessie
Since people think I'm such a bad meowmie and they're so perfect I won't be posting anything further to this group about Tessie, Scout, Silver or any other feline I happen to encounter or hear about. Yowie, Catnipped, Victor, Dave, Britta and everyone else who posts their sweet cat stories will be missed. Goodbye.

Karen, please don't leave the group. If there are posts that upset you, just killfile the posters. I don't think that anybody here thinks you're a bad meowmie - I honestly just think they're just trying to help you integrate Tessie successfully. But even so, if they're bothering you, killfile them, don't leave. There's a lot of helpful advice and support you could miss if you leave just because of a few posts that have upset you. Hugs, CatNipped >>Since people think I'm such a bad meowmie and they're so perfect I >>won't be posting anything further to this group about Tessie, Scout, [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > a lot of helpful advice and support you could miss if you leave just because > of a few posts that have upset you. Why even bother to killfile? It's easy enough to simply scroll past posts by people you've decided to dislike. I haven't followed ALL the posts about Tessie, but those I've read seemed to be attempting to offer the benefit of their own experiences in integrating multi-cat households. If you don't feel their suggestions are valid, don't use them! Although it's true that, in the final analysis, interfeline relationships are something the cats have to work out for themselves (and there's always a certain amount of friction involved), you obviously know your cats better than strangers do. > Hugs, > > CatNipped > Since people think I'm such a bad meowmie and they're so perfect I > won't be posting anything further to this group about Tessie, Scout, > Silver or any other feline I happen to encounter or hear about.

I don't understand, Karen, truly I don't. I haven't seen any posts that suggest you are a bad meowmie, why do you think so? I have seen posts that suggest that you are expecting too much, too quickly with the integration. That could be true. It does not mean you are a bad meowmie, I rather took it to be offering good advice, myself. Didn't you? Tweed (who knows nothing about cats) > Since people think I'm such a bad meowmie and they're so perfect I > won't be posting anything further to this group about Tessie, Scout, [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > -- > ~Karen Karen, please copy and paste the graphs, or even just lines, that you interpret as personal criticism or that suggest you are a bad meomie, so that I, and the others, can at least explain or know what you are talking about. No one, me included, wants to convey *anything* except help so that Tessie becomes a part of your family and has a forever home. I have been there. I have made all the mistakes and I've told you about Jacky, the cat that I rushed too much integrating. . All I wanted to do was help you. I thought that was why you posted for advice, in the beginning. And again, please copy and paste what you consider offensive, so that we know what you are talking about, and how you think it makes you look like a "bad meowmie."

Oh dear! I don't understand why you have been offended, and hope you won't stop posting about all your kitties. I for one was so pleased that you both decided to give Tessie a second chance, and am sure she will soon become accepted by Silver and Scout. ((((((kajikit))))) Deb.

Just because some people don't understand that others may not have the room in their house, nor the time, to take *months* to integrate a new cat into the home. Please ignore their comments and continue to post about your beautiful cats (Tessie looks like Betty & *Weeble*!!!!)

Jill > Since people think I'm such a bad meowmie and they're so perfect I > won't be posting anything further to this group about Tessie, Scout, > Silver or any other feline I happen to encounter or hear about. Hey, in case I'm one of the posters you're talking about, I'd like to say that I certainly don't think you're a bad cat mom! But I've had both good and bad experiences with kitty introductions, depending on how I've handled them. And I could see that you might have some trouble if your established cats get into the habit of being aggressive toward Tessie because she interacted with them too soon. You might have seen my post from a couple of weeks ago, where I described how I integrated Roxy and Smudge, which I took great pains to do slowly and carefully, resulting in their being really good buddies - as compared with my much less careful integration of Licky, who to this day does not get along well with Smudge. So all I was saying was, "been there, done that" - in both ways, and I was hoping that you would have a better experience if you took your time with it. Please don't leave - I have to find out how this one turns out!! :) Joyce > Since people think I'm such a bad meowmie and they're so perfect I > won't be posting anything further to this group about Tessie, Scout, [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Goodbye. I certainly do *not* think you are a bad meowmie, Karen, I was so glad to hear you decided to give Tessie a second chance. I do hope you will stay with us - I love hearing about your kitties and looking at the pics of them. Lots of best wishes, purrs and hugs, Polonca and Soncek >Since people think I'm such a bad meowmie and they're so perfect I >won't be posting anything further to this group about Tessie, Scout, [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Goodbye. I'm as lost as everyone else. I haven't read all the Tessie posts, but have read quite a few, and posted once with a couple of suggestions, but certainly not with any criticism, just my experience. Karen, I hope you'll re-think leaving. Sometimes, and I know this happens to me, I think we just are at a point where we feel more emotionally vulnerable than usual, and things hit us harder than they otherwise would. Give it a little time, and maybe you'll feel better. Hang in there.

Unless someone has said something in private e-mail, I'm as lost as everyone else. All I can see is advice, which is not the same as implying anything about your capabilities as a Meowmie (we already know tha tyou are a *good* meowmie!). Advice is advice, there to take up or ignore as we see fit. Now I'm worried. Are you OK, hon? Nothing wrong with a break from the group if you feel you need it, but you *will* be missed, as will Tessie, Scout & Silver. Please, when you feel better, come back. Yowie >> Since people think I'm such a bad meowmie and they're so perfect I >> won't be posting anything further to this group about Tessie, Scout, [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Yowie Judging by your past posts you seem to have a good way with words - better than I do in any case. As I think she is gone from this group perhaps you could send her a private email explain this or whatever you think? I too think she just needs a break from this group. I hope she returns eventually. rrb sorry, karen, but I don't know why you would deprive all of us who enjoy your stories....maybe I missed something because of my browser....but please don't disappear on us!! > Since people think I'm such a bad meowmie and they're so perfect I > won't be posting anything further to this group about Tessie, Scout, [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Goodbye. Has anyone figured out what happened. She is too much of a sweetheart to leave. I love her post > Has anyone figured out what happened. She is too much of a > sweetheart to leave. I love her post It's all too easy to give, or take offense, where none is intended when posting to usenet. I imagine, Karen must be feeling particularly sensitive at the moment, for what ever reason. I do hope she comes back eventually, she's not the first valued poster to leave.

I do hope she comes back eventually, > she's not the first valued poster to leave. Or someone sent her an e-mail that wasn't very nice. It happens on occasion, some mean well but lack 'people skills' so to speak, and others are more like trolls who like to take advantage of those of us who wear our hearts on our sleeves - at least when it comes to our kitties (ie, most of us here). I've had both. The former, I thank for their concern because they mean well even if their words are not well chosen, but the latter just get plonked. Thankfully I'm in a 'headspace' which allows me to not take either personally, but 15 or so years ago, and they would have both had me doing exactly what Karen has done - withdrawing from the perceived source of pain. I hope she can realise that we here on RPCA (and Catslaves) were trying to help, and that anything posted on group that she found hurtful was only intended to help, so that perhaps she can 'trust us' again. But if it was somethign said in an e-mail, well, we can only pray she misses us as much as we'll miss her, and chooses to rejoin us. She will of course, be welcomed back with open arms. Yowie I know I'm coming on this a little late, but I've been recovering...and no, I never thought you were a bad katzenmutter. Everyone has ups and downs integrating a cat; when we got Odessa it took months to get her to come and eat in the open, without her cussing us out! I hope you'll forgive those who might have said impolite things, because I for one like your kitty stories, and hope that the catnip hangover has worn off the overindulgent! ;-) Blessed be, Baha > Since people think I'm such a bad meowmie and they're so perfect I > won't be posting anything further to this group about Tessie, Scout, [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > My photos - http://community.webshots.com/user/kajikit > There is no more intrepid explorer than a kitten. - Jules Champfleury
