I recently had a serious family issue that consumed pretty much every minute of my time. Now that the crisis is past (and Dad is home and annoying Mom again 
) I have to take the opportunity to thank all the KittyCats friends who kept me and my cats going during a very difficult time.
The whole incident gave me time to think about the nature of our community and how wonderful it is that people all over the world have bonded together in support and friendship.
First, I have to thank Karizmah Avro and Sanura Snowpaw, who both responded graciously and without hesitation to last-minute panicky 'I can't make the auction!' IMs. Brother Kar, particularly, has been a rock. (And you can't find better auctioneers in all of SL! They are a fantastic team.) I also want to thank all the friends - particularly my steadfast partner and BFF Tashi Core and my sweet sis Dragomira - for giving me the emotional support and the space I needed.
Finally, I want to thank the community as a whole. Most of you had no clue that I had something going on, and wouldn't recognize me anyway
Yet I knew, instinctively, that that there would be many, many people I could rely on for help if I needed it. That speaks volumes about the mutual respect, support and kindness that radiates throughout the greater KC family - and starts at the very top.
We have become accustomed to the fantastic support, the sharing of knowledge, the friendships and the ever-evolving adorability of our favorite breedable pet. But the last few weeks have reminded me never to take that for granted - that it is special, and always worth celebrating.
Thank you. So much.
