Ahem, I am Colette, a veddy smart kat, and my own dear sekretary started
the
glossary. It was long ago, and before this group existed. As I am of both
a
literary and scientific mind, I veddy much appreciate all the curious
minds
and their questions. Ahem. That is all fellow furrrrsons.

: Hello to all. My cats Oprah Anne and Princess Pasha played here for

: rely on the more difficult to follow internet groups on a dialup

: I just want to take a moment to acknowledge the wonderful work that
: Mietze (by way of Melissa) has done for all of us over these last
: years. She alone has remembered the names of those cats, dogs,
: ferrets, other furs (even a snake or two), and hoomins who have passed
: to the rainbow bridge during the past years. She puts their names in
: her Walk of Remembrance and has worked tirelessly on the behalf of all
: of us to keep the names of those we've loved alive forever. This
: year, my beloved Lissa's name was called after she died shortly after
: last year's Jellicle Ball. There has been no one more dedicated to
: this task than Mietze/Melissa has been, and I wish to thank her for
: that.
:
: That said (and I wish to make clear this is not aimed at those who
: simply asked questions), I would like to add that those few of you who
: have *complained* should be ashamed. If rpcc no longer wishes to have
: a Jellicle Ball, that's fine, but it is a sad day when some in a group
: of people who have supposedly been brought together by love of their
: furs should attack someone who has done nothing but try to give some
: consolation and solace to those who have lost their loved ones. I
: have to wonder if those who have been so quick to criticize will step
: up to the plate and remember those who go to the bridge this coming
: year.
