I bought a book that was about interesting websites. And there was a pet section that recommended COTD/DOTD. Then for quite some time I watched COTD on a daily basis. And then I sent in a picture of Filou. And Filou became COTD.
I saw all the answers in his thread in the Pet talk section and I was so excited. So I decided I will come back to other kitties too as I loved it so much. The rest is history.
My oldest PT friend is Sasvermont who posted in Filou's thread
