RE: ---- How taking in a troubled cat helped me become a better person ----
Many older cats are overlooked for the younger kittens and teen cats due to the "cute factor" etc. however after the experience we have had with Checkas my housemate and i have vowed to only ever adopt/rescue older and troubled pets. These animals have been handed a raw deal and are deserving of a home that shows them love and affection, appreciates them for who they are and sees the potential they may not even be able to see within themselves. These animals may have had a rough beginning but it is within our power to make sure they can have a good life from here on in. im glad to see there are others with the same ideals and hope to hear more stories about pets and their owners and how they came to find each other.
I feel the same as you; and am sure there are many others who do as well. When you're looking at the feed, one of the sidebars (left or right) has tags for practically any subject you're interested in - check those out as well, and you'll probably find many stories that will interest you.
I just posted this morning about the dog I used to have (she passed away a few years ago) - Part 1 is on my blog (Annie's Story); and I'm working on Part 2 right now. If you feel inclined to read about little Annie, you may find her story interests you. Happy reading!
yes im still finding my way around and all the little intricacies of steemit, im sure i will get there eventually. still fiuring out how to give people props on here when i like their stuff.
i will definitely go check out your post on Annie.
The best way to give people props is, of course, to "upvote" their post - and to comment (as you have done with mine) on it in a meaningful way so the author knows you actually read and enjoyed their work.
If you want to go the "extra distance" and want to share a post with people who follow you, you can Resteem the author's post - that way the writer gets more exposure to other people on Steemit. That's why I resteemed your introduction - you have so many varied interests, and I enjoyed the way you write; giving you an opportunity to reach out to others with similar interests is my way of giving back to those who helped me when I first started on here.
The more meaningful interactions you have with the people on Steemit (upvoting, commenting, resteeming, etc.), the better your chances of increasing your "reputation" - I notice yours is currently "32" ... mine is "55" at the moment. As you increase your reputation, it gets a lot harder to do that as you climb up that 'fish ladder' ... lol.
Thanks for all that info, yeah im getting used to the terminology and what it actually means when you do it things such as unpvote and resteem. i have just been kinda clicking about and hoping im doing it right, lol. plus sometimes i get error messages come up when i click and im not sure if it has done what i intended to do. learning curve but i will get there :)
I know you will - and I'm still learning as well. The currency thing is way over my head though, lol. Are you on Facebook at all? If you are and would like it, I can send you my profile link, and from there introduce you to some people you would probably like. Just let me know, okay - no pressure. :)
