Hi Everyone!wave

As you all know, there has been a lot of confusion within our group over the Admin position and why we do not have one now.

The past 6 month, mom has been very busy with Grandma and me. Chai offered to be co-admin to help with the responsibilities of the group. I welcomed her help and she did an excellent job.

As time went on, I saw that she and a few cats wanted to invite non-siamese friends to our parties as well as our group. I was not in favor of that and told Chai how I felt. I have always prided myself in having a group of handsome meezers who enjoyed one another's company knowing there are other groups we all belong to with our non-meezer friends. As Chai had more parties with non-siamese friends invited, I decided to give the group what they wanted. Your happiness has ALWAYS been my main concern. So I changed the name of the group and opened it to all kitties who loved Siamese cats. It broke my heart to see this happen so I stepped back. Chai asked me what was wrong and I told her. I thought she would have figured it out. However, I hurt her feelings and she decided to leave. I don't like to hurt or disappoint anyone!! So I contacted Headquarters to remove me and ask them to make Chai Admin of the group. Here is their reply:

"Michelle,

Thanks for trying to resolve this issue yourself before contacting HQ. Since it's not an automatic process for the creator to leave or be removed from admin status, I've submitted a note to the Techno Cats to put you at normal membership. Since it's the holidays that may not be taken care of immediately, so if you change your mind or anything before it happens let me know. Thanks for loving Catster, we love you right back!

Since then you have been removed as admin, and it looks like Chai has left the group as well. If the group decides to elect or appoint a new administrator (or multiple ones), someone can contact us letting us know and we can take care of that. Until then, the group can successfully exist without one, so it's really up to the members to decide if they do indeed want another one, and to decide who that is going to be. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Meow!

Please feel free to post your thoughts or ideas as to what you would like for the group. I am taking a short break from Catster although I will always check my pmails every day and to make sure my Catster friends are doing okay.

I am so sorry for creating so many problems. I love this group and each and every one of you and always will.

I hope this will help explain any questions you may have!

Your Friend,

Hello everyone. I know Ima new and Ima just a kitten... But I wanted ta say how I feeled...

*Makes his most earnest kitten face* I love everyone I meet. My daddy says I am one of the most loving and excepting kittens he has ever sawed. I absolutly refuse to dislike ANYONE. Not even my older brofur Capone who has made it quite clean he cannot stand me.

That being sayed... THIS is a group of Siamese. At first even I felt a little weird since I am actully a Balinese. BUT... THIS is a group of MEEZERS. *nods with wide innocent blue eyes* THAT is why my older brofurs, Mittens and Capone haven't camed here. I mean... *Sighs* I am not allowed in Capone's group fur tabby cats. Or unkle Merlins group fur kitties with odd eyes. Why then should Merlin or Capone want to be in a group fur siamese. (P.S. Capone's mom was a pure breed siamese who had a fling wiff a tomcat from the alley, and he still doesn't feel he belongs in this group)

I LOVE CHAI!!! *Snuggles Chai warmly* I fink she does know that.

I LOVE TOLOUSE!!! *Snuggles him equally as warm* Ima fairly sure he knows that as well.

I am not taking anyones side. This is my oppinion as a "almost" 4 month old meezer. I liked having a place where I was special for being of a like bloodline as my group.

*Lotsa HUGS and PURRS and SNUGGLES and HEADBONKERS*

My little brofur (Mocha Latte!) couldn't have said it better!! It's unfortunate that our mama has so little time to type for us; it leaves us doing a lot of communicating behind the scenes ~ or even just reading. But we both LOVE Catster, and we BOTH LOVE The SIAMESE LOVERS AROUND THE WORLD GROUP!! Like Mocha Latte, it's nice to have a special place that's just for us, and Toulouska has been a Beyond Fantastic Administrator, in our opinion. (*Even Popka sticks his nose in and nods*)

The most unfortunate part for us is that we HAVEN'T communicated as much with Chai, so she probably does not feel the support that we also have for her. She is one fantastic, organized, enthusiastic, and warm kitty. It makes me personally furry sad that she probably won't even believe in our support of her.

But if we could, we would have Toulouse back as administrator, and the old group name back. This has been our favorite group since we joined (except Popka is as active as he can be in the Rainbow Bridge Kitties).

The other hard thing for us has been, there have been SO SO MANY sick kitties, injured kitties, and kitties who have gone to the Rainbow Bridge lately; it's been overwhelming. Mama and we have wanted to support all those kitties, and mama spends an awful lot of time crying . . . It's been hard, hard, hard to have this group upset, too, when we love you all so much.

We were furry sad when Chai left the group altogether. None of us thinks WE could EVER be a successful group administrator; it must be FURRY, FURRY HARD!! We admire anykitty with that capacity.

That all being said, and from our hearts, we want to be Siamese Lovers Around The World, with Toulouse as our administrator, and with Chai back with us and with everykitty understanding and purring and feeling OK about themselves and each other.

We are furry sad. (*Hugs Mocha Latte*)

We would like the name changed back and everything, including the rules to stay the way it was. There are plenty of other groups for non-siamese to join. We love Toulouse and he does a good job. Chai is a nice cat too. We hope this issue is resolved soon. We don't want to hurt any cats feelings and we should all get along. Life is too short to be worried over silly things. Purrs!

Hello Meezers. I joined this group to give you a message from Chai.

First I want you to know that Chai did leave this group the day she posted her good bye. But due to some Catster fleas she is still in the roll call - she tried to rejoin to post this but it won't let her - crazy I know! So she asked me to join and post this on her behalf.

It still seems there are a lot of assumptions being made about Chai, why she left and she would like to set the record straight. So here is her response to the request that Toulouse sent to her.

BTW I will be leaving this group as soon as I post this message:

Dear Toulouse,

Thank you for the pmail and the request. I do appreciate it and the concern and love from the group.

I am deeply saddened by the recent events and the harm it did to the group and to our friendship.

I did not leave the Siamese Kitties group because I thought non-Siamese kitties should be able to join. I have never thought that and I still don't. What started out as a very small misunderstanding snowballed because of a lack of direct communication and some rather hasty actions.

Maybe if it had not happened right after my beloved Ruby's crossing I would not have felt so fragile. But it did and it is what it is.

I still feel wounded by all of this. Some wounds are small scratches that heal quickly and without a scar, but sometimes a wound cuts very deep. It takes longer to heal and it leaves a scar. And some wounds never quite heal.

Maybe I will feel differently in time, but for now I am not going to return to the group. Please respect my decision. I'm doing the very best I can in a very difficult situation.

I do wish you and all in the group success in recovering and moving on. I know you will - after all we're cats - we always land on our feet - right? smile

Chai

Subject: Request

Dear Chai,

I would like to ask you to please put what has happened in the past and come back to our group. We all love you dearly and have appreciated all the time and love you have given to our group. As you may know, I am no longer the Admin of the group.... no one is. I posted my email from headquarters for all to read and we are trying to heal our group. Many suggestions have been made, but I think before we move forward, it is important for you to know that you are loved and missed by the group.

I hope you will consider my request and come back. Again, I apologize and hope we can start off the new year with a fresh start!

Your Friend,
Toulouse

Thank you, Little Bit, for passing on Chai’s information.

I respect Chai’s decision to take a break from this board, and will welcome her back with kitty hugs and headbutts if and when she wants to rejoin.

Big purrs and headbutts during this difficult time, Chai (and Little Bit).

Toulouse, we have appreciated you as the group’s administrator and will continue to do so. Will you please reinstate yourself (as group administrator) and continue the group as it has been in the past? I don’t think further discussion on the issue will change anything and it’s now time to move forward.

I’m sorry kitties feelings were hurt and hope time will help solve those wounds. In the meantime, I hope we can each give a private moment of kitty silence for those going through a difficult time and then do the best thing for all and move forward united as a group.

Billy

I also loved having a group that was just for Siamese. It made me feel so special. My sister Cleo belongs to a Tabby group that I can't join so we each had our own group. I am purring for Toulouse and Chai to both stay. We need their expertise and it wouldn't be the same without them.

Hi Everyone,

First of all, I could never leave this group. I love each and every one of you and have watched many of you grow up! I stepped down from Admin only because I didn't want to see non-siamese cats join us. You all know my special friend, Athena. Don't you think I'd love to show her off at our parties? But she is in groups that I'm not and we understand that. We do belong to the same group where I get to be with her that way!

I'm NOT going to apologize for wanting our group to be all Siamese. I'm proud of all of you and consider you all my family. I've also tried to apologize to Chai and hopefully in time she will come back.

Well our group is not going to sink! We're not going to let that happen... right?way to go

I love you all!
Toulouse

Toulouse,
ok well you andd your mommy know that I rarely post or get to play at the groups parties.
But did you know how special I felt when you invited me to the group?
Or that for the one summer party I got to come to, mom and dad changed plans just so I could?
Or that this is still the only group I am really active in becuase it is the very first group I was ever in??
I don't have a lot of friends so maybe that's ok. What I know is mom loves reading the stuff here about Meezers cause it helps her to learn.
She hates that you are not our leader.
I hate that you are not the leader.
I very confused. Maybe it's the cat nip.
But maybe, you could come back and lead our group again?? I mean, if you have time???
