I agree Curvy I think I'll hide in our corner over there and of course go all over ECF as always....

Hey did anyone ever answer my Q about the CSAA links? I can look but I'm feeling lazy right now (its the dishes took it right out of me)
I'd love to see Kristin make a post there about CASAA.
But if she doesn't do so, perhaps we could make one, although it wouldn't be as good as hers.

You know, I've been trying to deal with the grief of losing my pet, but I keep seeing you all post about your pets. I feel like it's just going to make me feel bad, so I'm leaving ECF.

I know you were joking, but it's prompted me to share my little cat story.

My wife and I had always been dog people. Our last one was a little angel Wheaten that had been abandoned as a pup at a church in a local town.

The two cats were strays that had evidently been left behind in my old neighborhood. I had seen them around outside, but they would never let anyone get close to them. I found out a neighbor had been putting out food for them, but she couldn't fully adopt them because she already had cats of her own.

Out of the blue, and within a couple days of each other, they "adopted" us. Since we were moving at the time, we decided to bring them with us and give them a new start. The calico has now become a house cat, and the white prefers to be outside most of the time, but still comes in to eat and sleep.

Now, back to our dog, Morgan... like I said, she was the sweetest little angel imaginable. She was our "baby" :). Aside from being a little hellion when she was a pup, she turned out to be one of the most well-behaved and healthiest dogs I've ever had. But, sadly, she was getting along in years, and her health began to fail rather quickly a few months after getting the cats.

My wife was blessed to be with her during her final moments. As she was passing, the calico was nearby, and gently reached out with her paw to touch Morgan's shoulder. My wife was so touched by that gesture, and it seemed to help her cope a bit.

That pretty much sealed the deal for having the cats in our lives. We still miss Morgan so much, but we are glad the cats came along when they did.

That's a nice story

Problem is, with any addiction, you have to replace. Addictive personalities need an addiction. If you identify the triggers of an addiction you want to get rid of, you have to mitigate and control those triggers. The easiest way? Pick up a new hobby or change your lifestyle so you eliminate those previous triggers. Regardless, all addictions are being traded in for a new addiction, whatever that new addiction might be. For some, it's vaping. For others, it's knitting. Yet even others, it's cruising the interweb forumz for stuff.....
I don't know whether I would go so far as to say this is absolute, undeniable fact for everyone all the time.
But I would definitely go so far as to say it is completely true for almost everyone all the time.

Those folks over there are addicted to the way their forum used to be.

It was part sarcasm, part reality. I did put my main bud Cain down last year after some struggles with back issues and one expensive surgery. I'm hit and miss on cats. Normally I'm not shy about the whole pain thing (tattoos, piercings, contact sports, etc) but fricking cat claws hurt!

I feel for anyone that has to go through the loss of a pet. In some ways, they are more intimate with us then people are. Pets share a lot of life experiences with their owners and are there unconditionally, you just don't find something like that in a large amount of people.

You're probably right. Addicts definitely don't like change though....

Fighting may be a bad term but responding to them seems to cause them to fight with us.
