I wanted to start a meet-up group for those of you who are usually embarassed to go out with your friends and start talking about what matters most in your lives... your feline companions. I know that personally whenever I am with my fellow crazy cat friends, all we end up talking about is our animals and the adorable and funny things they do - not to mention the animal welfare world in general (as well as our jobs, social lives, etc... we have not totally lost it (yet) to the animal world).
