Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way

Nice, I love cats. They are funny. My childhood cat would sit and watch basketball, head going back and forth. Cats are an excellent judge of character.
thats funny:) and something you'll always remember. and was just telling my grandson about cats, and how they can discern. they don't stick around for BS, they call it out.
glad President Trump is focusing on them, as I think most normal people can appreciate the uniqueness of cats, it brings people together, like all the YT cat videos.
I miss having a cat especially for the entertainment. My last cat didn’t like many people, Calico’s are female and royal bitches. I was the only person she liked. When my X-sil would come in my house Cali would lay down in the room so she couldn’t get to me. I have family on each side and back then the doors weren’t locked during the day. If I was in the kitchen and the X would come in, she would yell for me to move the cat. She would lay in the floor with her tail slapping the floor daring her to get close.
This cat was just about psycho. If I left shopping bags on my bedroom floor she would wait till 2AM to rattle the bag, chewed on bags all the time. She figured out how to open and close the bathroom cabinet drawer. She’d wake me up slamming that dang door. The worst was late at night every one in bed but me. Hubby would leave his glass on the bar and ice melted getting wet. She would slide it off the bar just for fun. I lost so many good glasses and threatened hubby to move the dang glass. I think she was my favorite cat of all of them.
By the way, my personality is so much like a cat it’s scary, even have green eyes. I don’t believe in astrology but the Aries characteristics is just like a cat and my personality.
I agree with you and love your analogy about cats. I’m loving Trump speaking out about this evil behavior. My sister in law’s and hubby’s parents are scared of cats. Funny thing when Cali was a kitten I was playing with her, a cat toy on a string and in laws were there. She caught it around her leg and jumped sideways into fil’s leg. He hasn’t worn shorts to my house since🤣 I can still see her sideways and claws into his legs😆
I love cat stories, thanks for sharing;) can totally understand, have always related to cats too. and I'm a Leo with blond hair, enjoyed that as kid, Leo is a good sign🐈 and I miss having them around too, had to let my daughter take my three cats, they're older & a lot of work. but now after this last week, I think we might need another one!🤡 One Maine Coon would be beyond Amazing, they're So beautiful.
