    Hi, I’m a newbie to this forum. I’ve been seeking one where I felt comfortable, and where the format seemed easy and logical. After several that offered way too much fluff and complicated formats, here I am and here I’ll stay.

    About 5 years ago, we ended up being adopted by a cat (always had dogs before), and when our old dogs passed away mere months from one another, we didn’t want our very sociable cat to be alone (he’s the one that I use for my avatar), so we went to our nearest no-kill shelter and offered ourselves up for adoption by another kitty. A sweet little black and white cat decided she wanted to live with us, so she came home with us that day. She told us her name was Flopsie because she likes to flip and flop on the ground or on her cat tree, and she and Mitchell (our other cat who took his name from the street where he found us) really love each other.

    Flopsie, it turned out, likes to eat just a little too much, and she kept eating Mitchell’s food. She got fatter and he got skinnier. Long story short, after none of the “fixes” we tried worked, we came up with an answer that we soon learned didn’t exist in the marketplace, so we invented it ourselves. It worked so well that all our friends wanted one, and eventually vets started to notice it. Today we offer it online, sales are growing, and now I need more knowledge about kitties to help our customers use the product most effectively when they call me for ideas.

    So, I thank you all in advance of the wonderful things I am to learn, and hope I will be able to contribute to others here as well.

    Welcome Casey! I think it’s fantastic that you took a solution to a problem and turned it into a growing business.

    (Flopsie is an adorable name!)

    TDK has fluff, but not just any kind of fluff; way different than other sites’ fluff. Actually the word is “fluffy”!

    There are literally hundreds of threads on everything cat/kitten here. We try to tag as many threads as possible to string like threads together. Hope you find it helpful.

    Great to meet you – the more the merrier!

    Casey! Welcome! So glad you found us! This is a great place for all things cat and support. I am the servant to Betty and Wilma, sisters who are six, almost 7 years old. My avatar shows Frankie, my “nephew”, who lives in Tucson with my sister.

    Hi, Casey. My name is Vicki; Pumpkin (shown in my avatar), Piglet, and I run the TDK Roller Rink, a somewhat spiritual space where pets and their people come to celebrate, commemorate, and sometimes even stay out late, but mostly just to unwind and skate. Pumpkin runs the DJ booth while Piglet runs food and beverage services (the snack bar, the cocktail lounge, and the outdoor lounge annex). Roller rink events are posted occasionally; keep a lookout for them.
