How to Shave a Cat

Many people wonder if they should shave a cat. But there are definitely some good reasons to do so. Long and medium-haired cats require a great deal of grooming to help prevent mats and tangles. Whether you want to save on groomers’ fees, remove mats that don’t respond to mat breakers, or shave your cat at home before a procedure at the vet’s office, make sure you learn to shave your cat properly to avoid harming him.
Shaving Supplies

The only thing that you really need to shave a cat is a good pair of clippers. However, depending on the temperament of your cat and how amenable he is to being shaved, you may find a few other things helpful as well.

Full body jobs such as a lion cut: Number 10 clippers
DeMatting your cat: Number 40 clippers
Towel for easy clean up if you don’t have a floor that can be easily swept
Gloves can help keep your hands from getting scratched, although they are optional

How to Shave a Cat

You can take your cat to a groomer to have him shaved, but if you want to do it yourself keep in mind that every cat is different, and some will resist shaving more than others. Use these tips and procedures to make sure your cat gets a safe and comfortable shave.
A Maine Coon cat gets shaved
1. Trim Her Nails First

Many cats will try to defend themselves when being shaved. Play it safe, and clip her claws before you begin the shave.
2. Test the Sound

Test the sound of the clippers near your cat. If your cat becomes very fearful at only the sound, you may want to consider using a harness or restraining device, or asking your vet for a mild sedative before you begin.
3. Hold the Skin Taut

Cats have very flexible, pliable skin that moves easily. This means that it can easily bunch up under the clippers, potentially giving him a pinch or cut. Hold the skin down firmly, pulling it taut as you shave to avoid cuts.
4. Start at the Top

Start at the top of the cat’s body, and work your way towards the base of the tail – but don’t shave the actual tail.
5. Hold Your Cat

Hold your cat gently, but firmly and work your way around his body, always starting towards the back of the neck and working your way towards the tail.
Tips for a Better Shave

Try these tips and tricks for a better experience for you and your cat.
Move Matted Fur Around

Hold matted fur by its end, and gently move it from side to side as you shave around and under it. Depending on how close the mat is to the skin, you may be able to reach it better from one angle, or from multiple angles. Keep moving it gently and cutting it slowly until it comes free. If possible, have a helper pull the skin around it flat to avoid it coming up into the mat and getting cut.
Avoid the Tail Whenever Possible

The hair on your cat’s tail takes a long time to grow back. Unless it is very matted or needs to be shaved for a procedure, consider leaving the hair long to avoid having to shave it. If you do need to shave it, try to restrain it as little as possible; cats can become very agitated if they are unable to move their tails.
Shaving a cat
Check the Temperature

If you are giving your cat a full-body shave, feel the head of the clippers frequently to make sure it doesn’t get too hot. Hot clippers could burn your cat if they come in contact with his skin.
Take Frequent Breaks

The key to a successful shave is not to hurry. The calmer and more unhurried your actions, the calmer you cat will be, too. Work slowly to avoid cutting the skin, and take breaks if you feel your cat is becoming too agitated to continue. It may take several shaves before you cat realizes this procedure will not harm her and she allows herself to relax while you work. Try to keep from frightening her more than necessary to build this trust in the long term.

Ask for Assistance

While there may be times when you feel it would be better to shave your cat at home, there may also be times you need to seek professional help. Stop and ask for assistance from a vet or groomer if:

Your cat’s fur is heavily matted, and the mats extend to the skin
The skin beneath a mat is bloody or appears infected
Your cat is extremely agitated and unable to be calmed or restrained enough to safely clip him

Groom Your Cat with Care

Regular and frequent grooming may help prevent mats and the need to shave your cat. Practice proper grooming at all times to help avoid this unpleasant procedure. If shaving does become necessary, work with care to avoid frightening your cat, and you can both be more comfortable with her fur.

Grooming your cat

Cats are very clean pets and generally take good care of their coats. Getting involved with grooming is essential if your cat is long haired; it doesn’t need to be a traumatic experience and can often be a positive experience for both owner, and cat. If you introduce grooming at an early age, most cats will learn to enjoy this and actively seek the brush in later years!
The benefits of grooming:

Grooming will help prevent hairb~~~~, which are formed when the cat swallows quantities of dead hair during grooming.
Grooming with a brush helps stimulate the circulation and enhance muscle tone.
Grooming helps spread natural oils, which the cat produces to waterproof the coat.
Grooming prevents the need to have your cat dematted under anaesthetic.
Grooming your cat can also help improve the bond between cat and owner, it also gives you a great opportunity to health check your cat for lumps on a regular basis.

You may notice your cat grooming more in summer because it helps keep the cat cool.
What type of grooming does my cat need?

cat grooming handlingShort haired cats
Short haired cats require small amounts of grooming. It is a good idea to lightly groom them on a regular basis using a bristle brush or a short-toothed comb. Short haired cats will generally find it easy to keep their coat clean; there are always exceptions to the rule if their coat is particularly dense.

Semi haired cats
Semi haired cats require grooming a few times a week; this will prevent knots and matts developing. The ideal method of grooming is to use a metal comb that has alternate long and short teeth. This means that the long teeth reach down to the base of the coat and the short teeth will pick up any excess hair on the surface. If you follow this grooming with a soft brush, it will add shine and condition to the coat.

Long haired cats
These cats will require daily grooming in order to keep their coat in top condition. As in semi haired cats, is advisable to use a metal comb with alternate long and short teeth. There are many versions of this type of comb on the market; some are even designed for particular breeds of cat. Long haired cats need grooming all over; they can become especially knotted around the bottom, legs and stomach.
The grooming process

Make sure your cat is on a stable surface, such as the sofa or the floor. Spend a little time making your cat comfortable by stroking or giving treats. Make sure you are in a relaxed state and happy to groom the cat, if you are feeling nervous about how the cat will react to the grooming session then they can often sense this.
Show your cat a soft bristled brush, allow the cat to smell the brush and face rub if it wants to. Begin by brushing the cat’s head, going in the direction of the cat’s fur, but avoiding the whiskers. If the cat enjoys this then progress to the shoulders.
Speak quietly and gently to the cat, this will help reassure it throughout grooming process.
Your initial grooming sessions should last no longer than a few minutes; this can be gradually increased over a period of time but should never last longer than 15 minutes.
You can reward the cat throughout the experience by using small treats or titbits. This way the cat associates grooming with a positive experience, such as being fed or getting attention.
Many cats are sensitive to having their back or bottom brushed, always take care when grooming this area as some cats may tell you they are not happy. Try to monitor their body language throughout the grooming process, if you sense the cat is not happy then it is best to stop.
Once the cat is familiar with the soft brush, you can start to use a metal brush during the grooming. Each brush will need introducing to the cat as they will all feel different.
If you find a small area of fur that is already knotted, try teasing the knot with your fingers or cutting the knot away. It can be very unpleasant for the cat to have these groomed out.
It is always best to start the grooming process on a positive note; if your cat is already severely matted then it can be difficult to make this a good experience from the start. It is often advisable to contact your local vet and enquire about getting your cat dematted, you can then start the grooming process in a positive way.

When to stop

During grooming always keep a close eye on the cat’s body language, look at whether the cat is comfortable with the grooming session. Body language to look out for is tail twitching and fidgety behaviour, this generally means they are impatient and have a desire to escape. Many cats will growl or grumble, telling you that their patience is wearing thin. Please take care when grooming, if you do not see the warning signs then you may end up being bitten or scratched. Always stop grooming if you think the cat is unhappy. You are trying to make it enjoyable for the cat, so it is better to do short sessions, rather than one that is really long and upsetting for your cat.
On-going care

It is really important that once you start grooming your cat, and put effort into making it a positive experience, that you then keep this up. Try to factor grooming into your daily routine, such as when the family sit down to watch television in the evenings. This will make it less of a chore, and more of an enjoyment for the whole family.

Cat Grooming Tips

Cats are often regarded as fairly low maintenance pets, with their independent personality and reputation as fastidious groomers. Many require little day-to-day input from their owners to lead a healthy, happy lifestyle.

But believe it or not, there are actually many benefits to adopting a regular grooming a regime for your feline, from a healthier, shinier coat and improved muscle tone to a reduced chance of developing hairb~~~~. What’s more, getting to know your cat better through regular grooming will help you to stay on top of any health problems, which is particularly important as your cat gets older.

While some cats will inevitably be more willing to indulge in weekly pampering sessions than others, introducing a regime from a young age will ensure grooming becomes an enjoyable, stress-free experience for both you and your pet. With this in mind, here’s our complete guide to caring for your cat’s coat and claws.
Cat Fur Care

Despite their natural talent for grooming fur, all cats, even short-haired breeds, could use a helping hand when it comes to keeping their coat in top condition. Matted fur and hairb~~~~ can easily be avoided with regular brushing, and as most cats tend to shed fur throughout the year, by helping remove any excess hair, you’ll improve the health of your feline and hopefully cut down on the amount of time spent vacuuming floors and furniture.
How to groom short-haired cats

How often: Once a week

Recommended tools: A fine-toothed comb, bristle brush or soft rubber brush

Run a fine-toothed comb through your cat’s coat from head to tail, being sure to always brush in the direction of the fur to avoid any discomfort. Concentrate on one section at a time to remove any dead hair, dirt and debris, and take extra caution when brushing around the face and belly as the skin is particularly delicate. Remove any additional loose fur with a bristle brush or soft rubber brush to finish.
How to groom long-haired cats

How often: Every 1-3 days, depending on the length and condition of coat

Recommended tools: A wide-toothed comb, mat-splitter, bristle brush or wire brush

Starting with the legs and abdomen and working your way up to the face, use a wide-toothed comb to remove any debris which may have become tangled in your cats fur and separate any knots. Part the tail down the middle and gently comb through the fur on each side. Any mats in the fur can often be separated by hand with the help of a little talcum powder, however if you’re struggling to untangle stubborn knots, try separating the fur using a mat-splitter. Finally, brush through the fur with a wire brush or bristle brush to remove any loose hairs.
How to bathe your cat

Can you give a cat a bath? Cats shouldn’t need bathing regularly, especially cats with short hair, unless they require medicated baths to treat allergies or are particularly dirty. However, the occasional bath can prove beneficial for long-haired cat breeds and can help keep their coat in good condition.

When it comes to bath time, it pays to be prepared. Run a shallow, lukewarm bath in your bath tub or washbasin and have a towel and your cat-friendly shampoo at the ready.
It’s also a good idea to brush your cat’s coat thoroughly to get rid of any knots before bathing, as they may become more tangled as you lather up your feline’s fur.
Gently lower your cat into the water and wet the fur with a hand-held hose or jug, taking care not to pour water over the face.
Starting with the neck and working back to the tail, gently massage the shampoo into the fur before rinsing thoroughly.
Finally, wipe over your cat’s face with a washcloth or damp cotton wool before wrapping them in a towel and drying them off in a warm place.

Things to look out for while grooming your cat
Fleas, ticks and other parasites

A healthy coat should have a natural shine and bounce, and there shouldn’t be any bald patches. Thinning hair and black specks of dried blood could indicate a flea problem, while red and irritated patches of skin could be a sign of ticks, so be sure to visit your veterinarian if you have any concerns.

Visit the Trupanion parasite page for more information on common parasites and how to protect your pet.
Signs of allergies

Excessive scratching, licking and chewing of the skin, redness and inflammation, or dry, flaky skin could all be signs of a skin allergy. Reactions are commonly caused by certain foods, seasonal changes, or by allergens such as mold, grass or pollen. If you believe your cat may be suffering from an allergy, it’s important to consult your veterinarian as soon as possible to determine the cause.
Abnormal lumps or swellings

Cats can develop a variety of benign and malignant skin growths, particularly as they get older. If you come across any unusual lumps, it’s important to pay a visit to your veterinarian so they can conduct all necessary tests to quickly rule out if they are anything sinister.
kitten-claws
Cat Claw Care

Overgrown claws can prove be a real problem for cats, particularly older felines who may be less active and therefore less likely to wear down their claws naturally. Longer, sharper claws can also be prone to catch on soft furnishings around the home, and in more severe cases, can even grow into paw pads if left untreated.
How to clip your cat’s claws

How often: Every 2 weeks

Recommended tools: Cat-friendly clippers or scissors

Before diving straight in with the clippers, it’s important to get your feline accustomed to having their paws handled. Spend some time massaging your cat’s feet each day and pressing the pads on each paw so the claws extend. Your cat may pull their paw away from you to begin with, but start slow and gradually repeat until your cat is comfortable with being handled.

Once you feel your cat is comfortable enough to introduce the clippers, place your feline on your lap, facing away from you. Take one of their paws and press their pad so that their claw extends and trim the hooked white tip of the claw. Take care to avoid the quick – the pink part of the cat’s claw which contains nerves and blood vessels – as this is particularly sensitive and will be painful if damaged.

Repeat for each toe until all the claws are clipped. Remember, you can always clip the claws one at a time over a period of several hours or days if you need to. It’s better to go slowly if your cat becomes nervous or irritable – you don’t want to put them off claw clipping for life!

It’s important to make grooming sessions as enjoyable for your feline as possible, so providing lots of praise and treats for good behavior is a must. If you find your cat is reluctant to take part in regular grooming or claw clipping, or has a coat which is particularly unmanageable, it may be worth making an appointment with your veterinarian or a professional groomer to help minimize any unnecessary stress for your pet and injuries to yourself!

Mating and Conception in Cats

The Cat’s Mating Game

We strongly urge that whole pet female cats be spayed as early as possible, for a number of reasons. In fact, the current thinking is that early spay and neuter is preferred, Once a female cat reaches puberty, she becomes a queen, and estrus – sometimes spelled “oestrus” (heat) – cycles will start. In domestic cats heat cycles run generally from January through August, depending on location and climate.

Until she mates or is spayed, these estrus cycles will repeat as often as every two or three weeks, causing distress to both the queen and her human companions. During these cycles, Queenie’s entire focus will be on escaping the house to mate or to mate with a male housemate, if you are careless enough to have whole male cats in the same household. She will be single-minded in her need to mate, will loudly vocalize (call), and lurk near doors, just waiting for the chance to meet up with one of the noisy feline Romeos who will cluster near your home, fighting for the privilege of impregnating your queen.

While it is assumed that most people have good intentions about spay/neuter of their cats, sometimes females mature earlier than anticipated, and the unwary caregiver will find herself with a female in heat. Here are answers to some questions you may have about what happens during estrus, or if she indeed finds a mate:
What Happens During Estrus?

Estrus is described as the period of receptivity to mating and is linked with the production of estradiol (a type of estrogen) produced by ovarian follicles. It is not to be confused with menstruation in human females, and you will rarely, if ever, see any signs of blood, although occasional mucous discharge may be evident.

Female cats are induced ovulators, which means that ovulation does not take place without mating or manual stimulation. If the female cat does not mate during estrus, hormonal levels will eventually drop off, and the estrus cycle will cease until it repeats itself in another two to three weeks.
What Occurs During Mating?

The queen will signal her willingness to mate with a unique posture: head down, forelegs bent, rear quarters raised to expose the vulva ( this raised posture is called lordosis), with the tail raised and held to the side of the body, all designed to accommodate entry by the tom cat’s penis. Her rear legs will tread rhythmically as if walking in place.

The ​tom cat will mount the female from the rear, holding her on the back of the neck with his teeth. This biting behavior may in part be to ensure cooperation but may also stimulate a part of the female’s brain that induces ovulation.

Whole male cats have barbed penises (much like a fishhook), and upon withdrawal, the female cat will often scream (whether from ecstasy or pain is questionable). It is also believed that the barbed penis stimulates ovulation. In fact, breeders sometimes use “Teaser Toms” to stimulate ovulation and end the estrus cycle in queens which are not yet ready for breeding. Teaser Toms are neutered by vasectomy, leaving the barbs on the penis to stimulate ovulation.
How Soon After Mating Does Conception Occur?

Ovulation will usually occur within 20 to 50 hours after mating, and the eggs are viable (capable of being fertilized) for approximately one day. The eggs are fertilized in the oviduct, and then make their way to the uterus via the uterine horn, implanting in the uterine lining within 10 to 12 days.
Can a Litter Contain Kittens from Multiple Sires?

Yes. On the street, a queen may mate with two or more tom cats over the length of the estrus cycle – up to 21 days, with an average of seven days. Although genetics of the queen may come into play, multi-colored kitten litters will often vividly demonstrate multiple mating. Some breeders of pedigreed cats keep the queen and chosen tom together for multiple matings to ensure that pregnancy will result.
Can my Cat Become Pregnant While Nursing?

Unfortunately, yes. For that reason, it is critical to keep her indoors and separate from any whole males in the house. Once the mother cat starts to wean the kittens, she should be spayed to prevent further litters. In addition, the kittens should be spayed/neutered, whether kept in the original home or placed for adoption.
Can my Cat Be Spayed While Pregnant?

Generally speaking, pregnant cats can safely be spayed, although veterinarians differ about some of the factors involved.
At What Age Can a Cat Become Pregnant?

Although female cats generally mature sexually anywhere from five to twelve months, it is not unusual for a cat to start the estrus cycle as early as four months. If she is allowed to become pregnant at this age, the result will literally be a case of a kitten birthing kittens, dangerous to both the mother and the kittens. Many veterinarians are now practicing early spay and neuter to prevent tragedies of this sort.

If this article seems to be a thinly disguised spay and neuter message, it is intentional. Spaying your female cat will not only help the overpopulation problem but will make her a happier and healthier pet in the long term.

Cat Mating
Understanding The Process

The cat mating process may seem a little odd and even brutal to our human eyes.

I have known some owners to think that a male cat is trying to kill a female cat when in fact they are mating.

This can be due to the terrible noises they make and the way they hold the female during the mating process. I was going to put a video on the page but I just found it too much.

This page will take you through a normal mating so that you will learn what normal behavior in these circumstances is and to waylay any concerns or worries you may have at the time.
Cat Mating Age

Female cats will normally have their first period of being in heat at around six to eight months of age but for some cats this may happen even earlier at around 3 and half months.

For the Male they normally begin to mature at around ten to twelve months of age but again this happen much earlier at around six months for some male cats.

It is therefore wise to note that if you do not wish your cat to have kittens or for your male to father any kittens that it is best to have them spayed / neutered at around 4 to 6 months of age.
The Cat Mating Ritual

Both male and female cats will call when they are ready to mate; this can be loud and is known as caterwauling. It is an unusual meow and can sound like they are in distressed or in pain.

When a male finds a female he will continue to call to her and begin to circle her. At this point the female cat will either accept him or refuse him by hissing at him and flattening her ears against her head.

If the female is not ready to mate the male may still lay close by to her in the hope that she will change her mind, this can take some time.

When the female cat is ready to mate she will begin to display certain behavior to show her readiness such as:

Rubbing her head along the floor
Calling back to the male
Rubbing up against the Tom cat
Rolling around on her back

At this stage the male will grab the female on the back of the neck and he will mount her. Mating can be over very quickly and the female cat will often turn and attack the male afterwards.

The first mating induces ovulation in the female cat and so subsequent matings will happen to ensure that she has been fertilized. During her being in heat which can last several days after being fertilized she may mate with other male cats too and this is why litters can contain kittens with different fathers and so look very different from each other.

Cat Breeding and Mating

Cat breeding can be a rewarding experience, but it’s not an operation to be undertaken lightly. If you’re thinking about breeding your pet, first consider the tragic surplus of unwanted cats sitting in shelters and running the streets at this very moment.
All About Cat Breeding and Mating

Cat breeding seems to be slightly less complicated than dog breeding, since you don’t need to be as precise about the timing and felines seem to be far more self-sufficient at handling the mating themselves. Let’s take a closer look at the process.

Female Heat Cycle

The female cat’s heat cycle is the first step in the breeding process. This is the time when she’ll be fertile and receptive to a male cat’s advances. Cycles usually begin when a female reaches six months old, and only last two days on average, but are repeated approximately every two weeks thereafter unless mating takes place. Once a cat has mated and becomes pregnant, her heat cycles will end.

It’s not always easy to detect when the heat cycle begins since the female’s vulva is obscured by fur, and there isn’t normally a great deal of bloody discharge to leave tell-tale spotting on floors and furniture.

For these reasons, many breeders rely on their female’s behavior to let them know when she is coming into breeding condition.

Signs include:

Flirting: Females become extremely affectionate, and love to rub up against their people and be petted. This behavior can reach nuisance proportions in the amount of attention they demand from you during this time.
Rump raising: Females in heat will tend to raise their rumps when you stroke them along their backs.
Tail flagging: Rump raising may be accompanied by a quick back and forth twitching of the tail. This is the way the female advertises her readiness.
Calling: Females in heat can be extremely vocal, calling constantly in search of male partners. Any capable male within ear shot will do their best to answer that call, although most males are not fertile until at least ten months old.

Mating Activity

Cat mating is noisy, and frankly, a bit rough. Cats will even scream while they mate. Once introduced, a pair will engage in behavior that looks more like warfare than romance. Although the breeder should be present in case things truly get out of hand, it’s better to resist the urge to intervene and let the cat breeding commence naturally. When the male mounts the female, he will latch onto her with his claws and frequently hold the scruff of her neck with his teeth. The barbs on his penis act as a stimulus to encourage the female’s immediate ovulation, thus ensuring the success of most matings.
Gestation

The gestation period, or length of a cat pregnancy, lasts approximately sixty-five days, although large litters may arrive a day or two sooner, and small litters may be a day or so late. The success of the mating can be confirmed within three to four weeks after mating. During the gestation period, the pregnant female, or queen as she is now referred to, needs increased nutrition to help her provide everything her growing fetuses need without depleting her own resources. Kitten food makes an excellent diet for her since it is higher in protein, minerals and vitamins than adult cat food mixes.

It’s also a good idea to begin offering multiple meals throughout the day from about the fifth week of the pregnancy. This will ensure that your cat is able to consume enough food without overloading her stomach, since internal space is at a premium with each advancing week. Additionally, be sure to keep her water dish filled and refresh it several times each day.

Pregnant cats need to be treated with extra care to avoid injury.

Resist the urge to pick up your pet more than absolutely necessary. Let her come to you instead. This will lower the risk of harming her abdomen.
Keep her inside. Roaming leads to fighting and other possible accidents. Being outside can also lead to parasitic infestations like fleas and worms that can also infect the unborn kittens.

Preparing for Birth

Toward the end of the pregnancy, a queen will begin looking for a nice warm cubbyhole to deliver her babies. If you don’t provide one, the spot may just wind up being your bed.

A sufficiently roomy box lined with newspapers and a soft blanket makes a good spot for the delivery, or queening as it’s properly called. Place the box in a quiet place away from traffic a few weeks before the expected birth so the mom-to-be will have time to discover and get used to it.

It is also a wise idea to put an additional litter box in the area at this time so mom will be comfortable using it when she feels reluctant to leave her new babies.
Delivery

Most queens take care of the delivery quite well on their own, and you may not even realize the event has taken place until you discover mom and kittens cuddled up together. If you do arrive during delivery and all is going well, it’s best not to intervene. Just be on hand in case you need to assist with removing a sack from one of the kittens or tie off an umbilical cord with a bit of string if it continues to bleed after severing from the placenta.

Additionally, move mom’s food dishes just outside of the box so she won’t have to travel far from her babies to get sustenance.
Conclusion

Although every cat is not of sufficient quality to make it worth breeding, there are some worthy specimens that can make a contribution to their breed. Check with your vet to determine your pet’s health, and proceed responsibly from that point forward. If you change your mind at any point before breeding, make sure to ensure you follow all the proper steps to stop your cats from mating.

My profile messages show that I got a message from you but it won’t let me scroll down / open it.

On a side note: Go back and read the topic / thread from when someone got in trouble with ‘Keymaster’ for using his screen name and ‘KM’ appeared angry and upset in his response. Look at the sentence structure, verbage and writing style: It wasn’t KM. The appearance of being angry was unlike KM and the approach to handling it was too structured and routine.

BTW: They had me locked out of posting for the last 148 hours.

That only further proves “The Theory.”

Was it just a technical glitch or was it intentional?

Too many bugs to be taken seriously. A high school programmer could have sorted this out in a few days. This has been going on for months.

Here is what I posted yesterday on this: (On my new site)
.
.
Yes, the KittyLitty site is bugged and tracked to hell.

I remember KittyMaster, the 2nd complaining about Tower making derogative posts under his name during the lockout…
Then KittyMaster posted when and how Tower logged in and what pages he viewed… (Correct me if my memory is wrong)

So, there is a system in place to track and protocol whatever we do, read and post on the KittyLitty.com

This is not a system “for men” it rather is for “controlling men”

And now I know why the troll gang and OldBill was always there in 1,2,3. You could set the clock to it.

And OldBill always “knew” things you would normally not know.

Things like where and when the first and the second tuna was spotted and who of us reported it first. Things only an admin CAN know.

.
.

Yes, and the NEW tone of the NEW “Keymaster” was the worst of the dead giveaways. She came across like a woman. Ignoring all of my questions while feeding the fire as the troll gang started bashing me. Something I encountered in Kindergarten.

That’s when I lost it. But I never go quietly. I spent 2 years posting and co-building this place only to be called a s~~~ poster by some new intruders who never posted more than one liners and gave each other “upvotes” (As you can see in this thread again)

Keymaster has 15700 posts to his name and I have had 10700 (at that time, before my search engine mod. and spam revenge) (Now it’s over 13000, lol)

I wrote 2/3 of what the Messiah here had written. Half of my posts are quite long and brought visitors here.

All 3400 threads I was on are in the search engine index. Search engines “love” elegantly worded content.

(I have over 2200 subscribed threads and the dark number on which I forgot to tick the “follow-up via email” checkbox)

I can now spend another 2 years reversing the effect my first 2 years here had.

I began by changing my name.

All men here who ever had one “sympathetic” contact with me were not able to PM me.

Too much of a coincidence.
