I agree wholeheartedly with J and Fussy Furball. It's amazing how affected I've been by the closure of CC and apparently the same is true for everyone else.

Really do hope it comes back in the new year but meanwhile I'll add my thanks to Tan and Chappie for this refuge.

I still can't believe it. I'm very much hardened to net happenings after yeaaars online, but the catchat community is something very special.
I didn't see the forum was down yesterday before I got the email from Sam

It's because of people like you J that I created the CC list and mailed everyone I could.  I know how upset I would have been if CC had closed down without me knowing and I had no way to finding everyone again.  Like you say CC was special.  I DO NOT go on forums usually, but as soon as I discovered CC I couldn't stay away.  Not only was it informative but it was also friendly.  And I could see the same names popping up over and over again which led me to believe there were regular uses rather than just weirdos popping up once and disappearing.

Fingers crossed CC returns (yes I'd also be happy to pay) but in the meantime I think we have found a very nice little resting place on here with Tan

I didn't see the forum was down yesterday before I got the email from Sam and I was all ' oh no, oh no ' when I opened my email. My hubbie ( also a hardened nerd ) totally understood why I was so upset and kept saying ' it'll come back, it'll come back '. I so hope so, tho this place is great of course, I do think the simple format of catchat encouraged those who wouldn't normally post on a forum to request help to do so, the style of it was so beautifully simple. I do hope people can find the same help here that they found on catchat, and I do hope it comes back in the new year. I would be completely willing to pay a subscription, the bandwidth costs of the catchat forum must have been extortionate.

I'v just changed my CC login page to the daily diary  - the closure page is too upsetting.

{{{{{{ Group Hug}}}}}

[shecat]

That sounds about right, thing is, its going to take us time.  I just stopped working, went to make a coffee and automatically went to favorites and Cat Chat, didnt even think

[Christine (Blip)]

Gail said it was as if our mother ship had gone and it feels just like that would feel. 

[Sue P (Paddysmum)]

I take comfort from the fact that we've all been feeling much the same thing.   Gill you're right - it is like looking at Rainbow Bridge. 

more hugs  (((((((everyone))))))

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

Just had to come back here for some more hugs cos just was looking at CC forum and it is there just as we left it and its like looking at Rainbow Bridge and I do hope we are gonna meet up there again and they do not change the software cos thats what helped to make it so good.

((((((((((((((((((((to all CC peeps)))))))))))))))))))

[Ann Clarke (Tabby cat)]

Carrying on the (((((((((HUGS))))))) to all. This site is helping lots and great to see how many members are on here now. Lots of tears over the last couple of days but now feeling happy that we can carry on cat chatting until CC is back.

BIG HUGS to all of the CC gang and also to any new members joining this lovely new forum.

I can't tell you how upset i was when i saw CC was closing down, it sounds quite pathetic but i can honestly you are all my kitty lifeline!

So many of you have helped so much when i have been worrying over silly things that novice cat owners worry over!

I am proud to call you my Cat Chat friends and long may it continue

A few mins ago I went down stairs to make a coffee, came back in here and clicked on, yes you have guessed it, Cat Chat. I am sure it will sink in soon. Although I think this site is wonderful, I personally think the best of all the rest.

[Rosella moggy]

Us Midlanders not really huggy bears either but (((((((((big hugs)))))))))) and so many thanks to Tan and hubby

[shecat]

Passing on the hugs {{{{{{{{HUG}}}}}}}, Thank you Tan and Hubby.  I heard the news yesterday at work and I was so upset my boss thought I was getting divorced or something.  How could I tell him what was wrong, I was supposed to be working not playing on Cat Chat.

Passing on the well-needed (((((((((hugs))))))))))[/b]

It is so sad to see the end of something we all loved so much, but its lovely that we've all pulled together in a time of crisis and are still together. Tan&hubby have done a brill job on this site, its friendly and easy to use, and I am enjoying our stay here!

Passing on the hugs {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}

I'm still in shock like everyone else.? It happened so quickly - one minute it's there and the next you have the rug pulled from under your feet, so to speak.? Hopefully they will be able to get it up and running again in the new year.

Thanks to Tan and hub for setting this up so quickly?

[Sue P (Paddysmum)]

Still reeling from the shock.  Even a bottle of wine didn't help  (just made me head ache!)  My hubby can't understand why I'm so desolate


passing on the group hug  (((((((((((hug)))))))))))

 

[Tan]

It still hasn't sunk in properly. I just went to look at the emails from CC automatically and there no new ones?

I sooo hope they get the site up again soon in new year. This is ok but nothin can beat cc!!

{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}} to all and esp CC towers.

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

Thank you J............(((((((((((((((((next one to see this))))))))))))))

[J (Indoorcatsuk)]

Well, I'm extremely shocked by the demise of our beloved catchat, truly the best, most informative, compassionate and genuine forum I have come across in my many years wasted spent on the net. I'm beyond shocked, and scared of the withdrawal of this fantastic resource and wonderful community. Thanks to Tan and her chap for this place obviously, I do hope you have an excess of bandwidth and a cheap host, what with all those ex-pat-catchatters and uploading of photos.

I think we all need a group hug ( and being Northern, I'm not usually one for instigating such personal space invasion activity, however, I've had a whisky to lessen the shock of catchat going offline ).
