I would like to apologize!!!!

[sasvermont]

I, too, think everyone has been very pleased seeing each other's homes. I have never thought I would be any happier than in the home I happen to be living in.....and that other folks have more, less, the same, whatever, and we are all happy here/there!

I have thought about trying to photograph my home but then I think about all the things sitting around etc. and fat chance I will have every room looking so perfect that a photo op would be ok.

Thanks for sharing your homes.

I think Barbara would make a good house tour guide and should be our official tour person, travelling from home to home, giving her official/professional opinion about all of the pets in the homes......hehehehehehehehehe!

No apology needed!

I have to echo everyone else, and never thought anything "bad" about it at all. I thought it was a splendid idea.
And still do.
I just am sorry, I haven't been able to get to all of them.
Off to find More like Nicole's!!!

[kimlovescats]

Ok.... thank you everyone. Guess I am just being my usual "paranoid" self! Sometimes I act without thinking things through, and then later I think about how it might come across to someone else! I agree with what each one of you has said, but if I even hurt ONE person out of the bunch, I would feel awful!!!! Thank you for telling me how you feel, and I REALLY am enjoying the tours as well!!!

Nibblets: I had to giggle at your comment .... I do the EXACT same thing! I love driving around town at night .... "peeping" in windows!!!

When it comes down to basics, everyone who rents or owns their own home is very lucky.

Look at all those homeless people who would give their eye teeth for the smallest simplest shelter from the weather.

We who have homes & access to a computer are in the top 1 % of the richest people in the world !!!

Remember peoples defination of a 'perfect home' can differ greatly too.

I saw two homes on the tours that I drooled over, neither which was Kims home.

So true!

I don't see any reason to apologize either, we all enjoyed the house tours, didn't we!

[mruffruff]

I have loved every tour, no matter if it was an upscale house or an apartment with three rooms or something in between. I haven't posted to them but I think they all are wonderful. They belong to some of the nicest people and that's what counts.

Mine is coming as soon as I can get them out of Photobucket.

I love the tours and am pleased that the homes really match the idea I have of the personalities of the owners. I think it's fasinating. Some I can't see all of because my antique computer can't open to all. I can't even post pictures which is a shame because I would love for you all to see my cat & dog infested home, warts and all! Germany, the country, the southern CA condo and all in between... what lucky folks we are

[catmandu]

Actually I appreciated seeing the Beautiful Homes , asit has given me a Lot Of Ideas as how I can improve the Found Cat Hotel. I would hateto think that a fewJealous people , would take this , the wrong way!I , myslf was kidding , when I said that the Found Cats were jealous , but I will try to enclose the Back porch , for them!

[catnapper]

Oh Kim! What are you sorry for? These tours were a brilliant idea! I loved being able to "open my home" to everyone. It might not be ready for "House Beautiful" or "architectural Digest" but its my home and gosh darn it, I'm proud of it. There were many hones that were absolutely stunning and I'd love to live in, but they aren't my home! I love my house! All of the cracked walls, lousy plumbing, stained carpets! I do not feel as if any house was "better" or "grander" than mine, nor do I feel that others were less than mine. All had something I'd die to have! As soon as my camera is back from repairs, I too will do a "real Cat Tour" complete with my average daily messes!

I'll start with what my office usually looks like - no matter how often I clean it. In less than two hours it looks like this. I feel like Pigsty form the Charlie Brown comics:

Complete with a grungy fish tank that no longer has fish. A broken curtain rod from when Allen attacked the curtan (that mean wind was blowing it!) My house is my home and i love it no matter what state its in! Ok, I prefer the clean state.

[carla and mike]

I know the rod is broken but I love the white sham (I think that's what it's called.lol)hanging above the curtains.
That gives a classy and very pretty look.I think I'll do that.Thanks.
I love new ideas.I'm not the greatest at decorating but I'm getting there.
And kimloves cats:Your home is beautiful.
All I've seen so far look like nice homes.

For anyone who needs to do some catching up on all of the wonderful homes... click here for a list of the Tour threads!


Catnapper-- I LOVE the color of that room!

[QueenScoopalot]

Now Kim...where else but on PetTalk can we play peeping toms AND see homes in other countries? I loved them all and thought the thread was a really fun idea. And as others stated it was optional for people to show their homes.

[rosethecopycat]

I just want to see the kitties stomping grounds. I like to see their favorite places to sleep, a favorite window, the view. The decorating is nice, and interesting too. I plan on posting mine, but I am unable to post without using attachments. Can someone help, if I send my pix to them and the commentary?

I need some time too. Very busy season.

I saw no problem with the tours. I enjoyed them very much! I would have posted a tour of my apartment but we just moved in and there's boxes, trash, paint cans, and laundry EVERYWHERE! Seriously you can't even walk into my bedroom yet. Maybe in a couple weeks, after we finish painting, I will give a late tour...if no one minds!

[gini]

Kim, I too loved the house tours, although I don't think I have had a chance to see all of them.

When you have a board like this we are bound to have people from many walks of life - some with lavish lifestyles and some without.

I don't care how everyone lives as long as they are taking good, loving care of their pets. Yes, let them sleep on the bed, let them live in every room - just please don't put them in the back yard on a chain!

And when you have pets - just like children you will have accidents on the carpeting that cannot be removed. I have stained carpeting that makes me cringe. (two Rainbow Bridge kitties were very ill). But I had a choice to make recently - new beautiful carpeting or computers for my work.
The computers won out.........and the new carpeting will just have to wait.

You have absolutely nothing to apologize about and I think everyone has loved the house tours. And thank you!
