Now that I know what's going on, I feel SO relieved but also a bit angry at being made so upset and frightened for the "missing" cats. I thought both Willy and Annie really were missing, and I felt so bad and wanted to send prayers and good wishes and vibes to help bring them back home, meanwhile being so frightened because so many cats do get lost like this.

I definitely think you should keep going with this one and that these "meetings" are great fun to follow. I love the parties and the banquets and the resort trips! (And Elmer loves meeting up with his beloved Taccoa at them too!)

But there needs to be some way to tell what is going on. Some of them are quite obvious, like the Cat Olympics and the Catmandu Travel Agency's trips. But the talk of Willy and Annie disappearing sounded too real. When cats in Pet Talk really do go missing or have other bad things happen, it touches me how all of us pull together to marshal every kind of energy we can to help the missing or hurt one. I want to save my energies for the cats that really need it. It breaks my heart every time I learn of another bad or sad or scary thing happening to a cat.

That's a good idea to do something like start these threads with words like "VIRTUAL ADVENTURE: [whatever]" or see if we can get a separate forum section for virtual get-togethers.

So now that I've said my piece, I look forward to following the continuing adventures of Willy and Annie! Are they eloping? What ARE they up to?!!
