I don't post on the cat side often, although I do lurk and admire the pictures. And I do agree that in all parts of PT there are some who feel a need to be overly judgemental. I myself have been guilty of this a time or two, although I genreally try to say nothing rather then start a controversy.

That being said, I have learned no one can fully understand your situation unless they are beside, you, living it with you. I just don't understand with all the amazing rescue stories you have shared, with all the beautiful lives you have saved, how anyone has a right to judge. You felt overwhelmed, and you helped your fosters find other rescues. Perefectly understandable. You saw other cats in desperate situations, and saved their lives, despite your personal feeling that maybe it was time to take a break. Seems to me you are someone to be admired, not judge.

Hugs to all your fur-family, both permanent residents, and those in search of their fur-ever homes!
