I am fortunate enough to have a pet that fits into each catagory (several in each, as a matter of fact), so I visit all the forums, even if it's just to glance. I go to General too. Sometimes I have more time than others, though.

But I have to say that I understand developing a bit of comradery with the people who have something in common, like all dogs, or all cats, or all rats. So when new babies or some similar "life" event are announced in the Cat section, rather than General, or the Dog or Pet section, I understand that. I'm just late getting the news sometimes! Many times, I feel I miss out by not spending more time in each section and developing those closer relationships. The section that might miss out the most of these types of relationships is the Pet section because there are so many types of pets represented there and also it doesn't seem to have as many posts, but still there are great posts and people there and many of those people have cats or dogs as well.

I just hope this thread will stay on course and that feelings won't be hurt by it. I am equally comfortable in any section on this board, except maybe The Dog House and that's sort of "optional" to me, anyway, so I don't worry about it if I don't go there for days.

Have a great night, friends.
