Hi all & Catchat Fans :attention:
We have some absolutely fantastic news ;D....... Our beloved Catchat forum will be back online from Tomorrow (Friday) 6pm. :cheer: :yesss: :yayyy:
If you were a member of the old CC forum you’ll know that ‘Purrs’ was started as a "temp" site to host the Christmas Auction for Ron, Lost cats Brighton and a home for us cat addicts while CatChat was away. Purrs has been soooo very successful thanks to all you wonderful members and has raised over £5000 for UK Cat rescues in under a year :wow: . We wanted to continue Purrs just as it is today along side Catchat and we hope to continue to raise much more for wonderful Cat rescues and help needy cats for years to come.
Catchat and Purrs will both be working together to help as many needy cats as possible and help and promote each other :hug: That's why Catchat and Purrs gang have specially designed our new friendship logo shown at the bottom of every Purrs page. ;) ;D Tomorrow after 6pm you will be able to go direct to Catchat by clicking on the image at the bottom of the Purrs pages and a link to Purrs will be in a Purrs Cat community section of the Catchat forum. ;D
We hope the two forums between us can really make a difference to rescued cats , all cats and cat owners. ;D
-
will we have to register again?
-
I think if you were a member before then your older name will still exist but not sure.
-
oooh how exciting ... how will both forums run ... are they both going to be covering the same sort of topics ... how will I have enough time to to be on two forums, go to work and have a life! :rofl: .... oh yeah I remember now I don't have a life! ... I should be fine! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
The page for the forum is exactly as we left it but so I was told no casual chatting will be allowed.
Yes both sites will cover exactly the same subjects but we have all the other stuff too.
-
Thats great news and now another place to go not sure how I am going to fit my day job in!
-
As I understand it, the place which used to be General Cat Chat on Cat Chat is now a link through to Purrs ;D
-
Ahhh is that right Christine, I know the friendship logo will link to us but didnt realize the that.
will go and see if I can see that ;D
-
Theres no general cat chatting any mmore and its now called Cat Community and that links to us ;D
-
Theres no general cat chatting any mmore and its now called Cat Community and that links to us ;D
And I think that will boost our membership :wow: Do you want to revise your bet on the other thread about 900? :evillaugh:
-
That's great news ;D :cheer:
-
Yeap that's right ;D I believe under the Catchat trust charity rules the General and Kaths corner section can't be put back so Purrs has become Catchat's Community via a link. ;D We wanted to keep Purrs as is so some sections are duplicated but we thought it would help spread the word more by having two sites covering the important stuff. ;D
We are still operating under different site owners, CC towers & Trust for Catchat and Little ole us (Me, Gill & staff ) for Purrs. This is so Purrs can continue to fundraise for UK cat rescues , indpendant and group charities.
I am very excited our Catchat is back, just gotta remember me password :rofl: :rofl:
We so want to thank all of you wonderful pepps who have helped make Purrs what it is today . I never expected it to grow as it has done, i am so overwelmed :Luv: The bestest ever part is that we have raised thousands for cat rescues so far only since mid Nov last year! :wow: That will still be Purrs main goal, to support needy cats via the wonderful rescues that dedicate every momment of thier lives to the cats. They are our hero's and the reason Purrs began. :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
When CC closed i thought id want to go back but Purrs got so great thats changed.
Dont think il have the time to read 2 forums :(

I have every hope that the co-ordination with Cat Chat will increase our membership on Purrs and enable us to spread the word wider and raise more funds for needy rescues ;D
-
I suspect that Purrs will just continue to be Purrs Milly and therefore you wont miss anything :hug:
I spend so much time on here I think I agree :rofl: :rofl:
I keep thinking 34 days out of under a year on Purrs, what could I have done with all that time but I wouldnt change it for the world cos had so much fun and shed so many tears ;D

Yes i hope so too hun, the more we can raise the better for the rescues ;D ;D Sorry going into Bob Geldof mode again :rofl: :rofl:
-
Password maybe a problem hopefully was smart enough to log in here with same one if not back to the drawing board! ;)
Thanks to all here Tan, Chappie, the cats and the rest we have awonderful place to help, shop and challange the stuff the universe throws at us and on CatChat we will have all our knowledge and wisdom to still help all us folks here and the new friends we will make along the way
So all in all apart from the day job issue we have a wonderful world and not enough hours in the day! :Crazy:
-
Hey Bob please answer my email :rofl: :rofl:
I hope so too and thats why I put 900 members by next wed ;D
-
Wonderful news, I hope it all works out well, and am glad that CC can just be for rescues.
-
Its not just for rescues Desley!
-
I meant that the General chat wont be there, so focusing on helping cats.
-
challenge the stuff the universe throws at us
What a brilliant way to say that :wow: Can I use it? ;)
-
on CatChat we will have all our knowledge and wisdom to still help all us folks here and the new friends we will make along the way
/quote]
We will have that on Purrs still too, we are not changing anything we are doing here.
We will still have the recues and the work they do and all our help links and everything we have now.
I am sorry Desley that you dont think we also focus on helping cats :(
-
I didn't mean it like that Gill, more that when I have limited time, I dont have time to look at all the 'chat' threads, and CC wont have those anymore
-
Have a feeling in me waters ( huge ones cause i need Tena's at times :rofl:) that both the sites will stay fantastic and help loads of cats, CC by their wonderful rehoming and Purrs by fundraising. ;D We both have rules in place that no posts are allowed against each other as we want to work together ;) Isn't there an advert a bit like that :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :evillaugh: ;)
-
The categories in Purrs are the same as those in Cat Chat Desley , its just we have some extra ones and you never have had to look at them.
I hope so Tannibal ;D

On the plus side 2 shops to spend our money :innocent:
The auction here to also spend money and get all the things we need or not as in some of our mobs case
I want any Mugs in the auction to add to last years - getting that one in early :shify: :innocent:
We will also have a bigger network for fosterer's, advice and above all through the laughter and tears all our stories to help while away the day sorry the day job that lets me do stuff and pays me to!
We will also have a comunity that stretches the full length of the UK that above all in any guise will help those most dear to us the cats who aren't as lucky as our own ones, the fosters that grace our lives and above all the waifs and strays we know we can help keep safe, provide devoted slaves for and help out the ferals, the oldies, the abandoned and the ones that other folks see as life's debris that we know will become in time and with love, a good vets care and fosterer's, rescuers and all have a wonderful life for however long they have with folks that love them if only in some cases for a short time to show them that not all humans like them are not the same

We'll have to wait for the dust to settle to see which forum concentrates on what, I'm just happy to see CatChat back, and I'll do my best to support, and post on, all the forums! Meanwhile, let's celebrate!

Mugs and auction.....yes I reckon I know the mugs you talking about and they was great ;D
Love to have some in the auction again butvthen I guess you will outbid me :rofl: :rofl:
-
Gill I have several obsessions in life - the Clan Cats and doogs, Robin, shoes and Mugs and will be bidding on the mugs again cause I'm obsessed by mugs
I'm sure we can raise loads of dosh and have our own bidding war and I may let you win this year then again we need to raise loads of money for the needy cats so start saving!
I'm now getting all this years expenses paid in November so will have a nice little stash and its tax free to still I am in Dublin through the week so that may give you a head start!!!! :innocent: ;)
-
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: ooo Auction hotting up already :rofl: Great :evillaugh: :evillaugh: I loved last year it was so much fun with all the bidding wars :rofl: and £1600 for Ron was sooooo fantastic in one fundraiser ;D ;D
Yeap Dave i agree it great to see our CC back and me too i l will support all cat/pet forums. We can spread the word, all of us together and help all we can those babes that are in need :) :)
The knowledge i have got from great forums, Cat chat, Feline Friends, Katnip, Hovel and Purrs is great and i wouldn't be where i am today without them. :Luv:

Hello!
Sorry for the late post - as an 'honorary trustee' I got roped into tonight's committee meeting (well someone had to lick all the cheesy puffs didn't they?)
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone here being so fabulous and positive about the return of the CC forum! And on behalf of everyone at Cat Chat Towers - we'd like to send a very special Thanks to Tan, who has been sooooo helpful and supportive over the months since the old CC forum closed, and we're really looking forward to the two forums helping each other - and helping more cats!
The new CC forum will just be concentrating on the help and advice side, rescue, rehoming, health and stuff, and not the community meeting place - apart form anything else, there's no point in us doing that again, Purrs is doing it better than we ever did!!! (Congratulations!!!)
Once we get going, we hope that our 'Cat Community' link to Purrs will mean more folks coming here not only to join in the chat, but also to support the Purrs fundraising schemes for rescues - which, may I say, are a fantastic idea - and we at Cat Chat will support and promote them too!
I'd like to put my own personal bet in about the Purrs membership numbers... over 1,000 by Christmas, that's what I reckon, and that should be good for the diary sales and the auctions (oh by the way, can I put some of MY whiskers in this year, I feel sure they'll raise more than Pickford's!!?!?)
Between Purrs and Cat Chat we can change the world - or at least the world of Rescue Cats - and that's got to be good!
Love, Purrs and "Paws-in-Friendship" from Gemini Cat ('Marm' if you like), and her minions

So here's to raising loads of money and chatting and helping all the poor cats who aren't as lucky on the slave front!

Gawd - feel such a woosie - bin reading this and bin close to tears. Love Cat Chat - it's where it all started for me - lurkin, then postin, and have kept logging in to Cat Chat 'cos it's grrrreat ! ;D BUT - love what Tan and Chap Tan have done with Purrs. Think of you all as my mates, and my big extended family. Would I have to divide my loyalties? Thank God, no! Phew. :hug:
Your lot - you're the very best. :shy:
-
I have avoided doing that cos there are so many memories there
-
I went on earlier and it was weird as all the original posts were still there.
-
How'd I miss this thread?
Anyway though I was never on CatChat (I've only found these sites in the past few months) it's great to have another forum to post on and help the cats.
Cause that's the important thing ;)
-
I went in the other day, logged on and.......cant remember my password or the old email addy i registered with :Crazy: :doh:
-
Great news that the Cat Chat forum is back and that we will now have two fab forums to visit. ;D
-
I must be blind :see: :see: :Dont know:
How do you find out what your long in details were?
-
Did you use the same ones for Purrs? Most of us did!
-
Millys Mum , I seem to remember something to do with big silver tree? does that help or do I need locking up :rofl:
-
do I need locking up :rofl:
Almost certainly, Teresa :rofl:
-
I just found one of your posts and your user name was
Bigsilvertree
Being senile comes in handy sometimes :rofl:
-
:evillaugh: I like it
-
Grr! Still cant log in :Crazy: 1st i put my username in, i have forgot password so have to type another enquiry out then it dos'nt recognise my user name :shify: What am i doing wrong :-:
-
And where has the Daily Diary gone? How will I know how Pickford's getting on with his "funny claw" when I can't get the link no more?
-
I tried that too Teresa but i must be using the wrong password. :doh: I wanted to request a reminder of details but i dont think i can do that?
-

If you go to the CatChat forum and then click 'log out' in the top RIGHT, you will get a screen which invites you to log in. That gives you the option of putting in your user name and resetting your password. I think. ;)
Edited because I couldn't tell my right from my left earlier :evillaugh:
-
Im having some probs too as it wont even except my registered username so ive got no chance finding out my password :(
-
Thanks christine, il give that a go :ok:
-
I did it :yayyy:
-
How long did it take for your activation key to arrive? I havent got mine yet :(
-
I did'nt have to wait for one MM as i was trying to sign in with my username (thinking it was Ruth (Bazsmum) only to find out that my username was Bazsmum only :Crazy:
-
Hullo!
Just nipping in here to answer a few queries on the old CC forum front, here goes:
If you are registering for the first time, the activation email comes straight away, but some system's security puts it in the junk folder, so have a check in there. Or maybe you clicked already and activated it without realising, so just try posting a message!
For those of you who had an account on the old forum...
If you can't remember your old username, I may be able to find it using your email address, so drop me a mail: beau.cat@catchat.org
If you know your username but can't remember your password here's what to do:
Click on: 'User List'
Enter your Username
Click on: "Click Here to Restore Access"
Enter your Username
Click "Continue" and follow the instructions to change your password.
And finally - THE DIARIES - this is a great mystery, but some systems apparently weren't able to click the diaries link yesterday (possibly even the day before too), it's very curious and we still don't know why (human error no doubt!), but it all appears to be tickety boo today. My technical adviser says you may need to click 'refresh' on your browser, but the diary should now be visible to all - mind you, the Lady Gemini's last entry was completely un called for and un-authorised. Perfectly true of course, but totally un-authorised!
Toodle Pip!

Thanks Beau :thanks:

Still cant log in :doh:
I follow Beaus instructions and get to a page that says
Your account has been located. Please choose a new password for your account here. Once you have chosen a new password, an e-mail verification message will be sent to your address on file. You must follow the instructions in that e-mail verification in order to activate your new password.
I put in new password, click continue
Your request to establish a new password has been processed. An e-mail verification message has been sent to the e-mail address you specified. That e-mail verification will contain an "Activation Key" that will allow you to begin using your new password. For your convenience, when you receive this activation key, you may enter it here to complete the password recovery procedure.
But i never get an activation key, can anyone help?
I do check my junk folder but its not there either.
-
MillysMum, email cotton_cat@catchat.org and tell her your problem (she is the IT whizz there).
-
Its ok! I tried posting and it worked, iv been waiting for an activation key for no reason :-[ :rofl:
-
Only just noticed this Topic :-[
Just registered :Luv:
-
MM have you had any luck ? Worst comes to worst you could just re register i suppose will all new details.
Its been taking abit of getting used to clicking back on a catchat logo in me favorites again but fab to have it back.
-
Yep it worked in the end, i tried posting and it let me so i didnt need an email code :innocent:
I didnt want another account as it would niggle me i couldnt use the other one :Crazy:
When we moved to Purrs i changed my settings so i could read things in a normal way, iv now got to get used to reading the wrong way again :doh:
