Boy time really does fly. And look at all that has happened to our meerkats, almost unbelievable. Did any of us think our manor would have changed so tragically? But we have Season 4 to look forward to and all the new people and meerkats that we will meet, sharing it all with old friends and manor 'kats.

SG is so right about the" ...nice people". This has got to be about the bestest meerkat burrow in cyberspace with so many wonderful, talented people. I know there are others, I belong, but I always come back home to Meerkat Manor chat.

Can't wait for season four, even without my beloved Flower and Mozart. I still cry when I think of them and their valiant lives.

I do like the orangs too, hope they can manage to keep both going at once.

Hi there Lynnlopez!
Didn't see you for awhile, glad to know you're not trapped in a bolthole

Welcome back to the burrow lynnlopez...did the login monster get you too? Boy Am I glad to see a join date from '06!

We are all waiting for Season 4....the story of our lives...

Recently, I spent a week waging a losing battle with the evil log-in monster. I spent that week roving the Forum. Located this topic and decided to read all of the postings before adding one of my own.

What a wonderful experience meeting all who have posted to this topic. I seem to recall posting on the Welcome forum when I first joined but apparently it was not this topic. I was surprised to learn there is a "Manor Fan".

I consider myself a fairly new & *old* meerkat lover having discovered Meerkat Manor in August 2007. Some marketing firm decided to advertise the show by adding a cover featuring the Meerkats to the front of my Soap Opera Digest. Only later would I appreciate the comparison of MM to my soap operas. Sadly, I failed to keep that cover. Too bad, it was really cute.

I was hooked the moment I watched the first episode of Season 3. Since then, I have seen all of Season 1 as well as read the TCB book on Flower. My favorite meerkats are Tosca's boys - Jogu, McMurphy and Flava Flav.

I have two furry little friends - Chihuahuas named Conchita and Evita. Conchita will turn 7 on April Fool’s Day. Evita will be 4 in May. I have always lived in the Virginia just outside the City of Richmond.

Once again, glad to meet all of you. Sorry it took so long to find this topic. Will definitely keep returning here to meet the new meerkat lovers.

hi

I am brand new here.
I live in Pennsylvania with my dog Jake, a mutt, and loved watching meerkat manor. I got the cd's as a christmas present and was hooked right away. I never saw it on tv, we do not get it on cable here.
I want to get to know all of you. Tell me what the rules are.

welcome to you! we can always use more meerkat lovers and their furbabies.
did you check out the book by the east coast meerkat society? it is called flower- remembering when. if you go to their site you can see it there. it's really beautiful. i haven't gotten the other book yet. i'm waiting for later.

the rules- love meerkats, love learning more about meerkats, love people who love meerkats, and no bad stuff. mod kelly runs a tight ship here and we do not want to get hip slammed!

hope you feel at home here!

new manor fan, isn't it great when you see how this place has grown. So many people from different parts of the world. Who would know that a little 12 inch animal would bring so many people together. I am so greatful for our little Flower.

Let me introduce myself to all of you who are new here. I am a 40 year old female. I live in Florida with my three dogs and five birds. I am not married (never found the right one) If I did he didn't make much impact. LOL.

I love our little meerkats and can't get away from this place. It makes my day just to be able to come here and read the posts even if I don't say anything.

Welcome terryanne. You'll like all of the people here. We're a friendly bunch.

thank you korkiemama for welcoming me and I am going to check out the book about Flower. Flower was so special. I got attached to Tosca in the first season and then she was gone. and titus1809, thank you for welcoming me too.

Welcome terryanne, titus1809 & new manor fan to our amazing burrow. Yes new manor fan there is a manor fan. Our beloved meers have brought an amazing group of people together. So glad you have stopped by to introduce yourselves.

This New Year has brought many new Meerkat Manor fans to chat on the forums.

If we are lucky our new family members will stop buy our *introduce yourself...* and say hi. So thought I would dig these out of the burrow.

We don't want to arrive one morning and mod_kelly has padlocked the entrance. A sign posted "Topic Closed".

Always read the Topics at the top of the forum pages by mod_kelly.

If someone post their age ok, but lets not inquire.

Ground rules are a must, for your safety,the Internet has many snakes in the grass as we know.

Our dominant female Mod_kelly watches her pups (us) like a goshawk...No full real names, no addresses, a general indication of where you live is OK, no phone numbers or e-mail addresses. If you elect to do so, it is your decision.

If this does happen, we may be deleted.

Also some of you may post and an electronic review devise will detect a pre-programmed "Trigger" word, groups of letters from a word, phrase or thought. Your post will not be posted until reviewed by a living breathing person. If it is deemed acceptable, it will be posted. It not, it will end up in the Kalahari Desert in a bolt hole! That is the way of mod-kelly and AP to keep this a *nice* place for all of us to visit and talk about our meerkats.

Another thought: let's be positive in our comments on others' post or the poster; otherwise, please do not comment.

So this is an invite to all to say hi, but if you do not that is ok too. We say hi to you. Enjoy our forums.

For ongoing chats, roll playing, story telling, visit our Meerkat Manor Mix.

The Spoiler forum is just that...do not visit if you do not want to read certain facts.

Here are some great sites to visit if you haven't already.

We have such an awesome group on this chat we don't really need these, but a reminder is good too. It is a long wait for Season 4 and sometimes a little play fighting occurs.

Cuddles & hugs everyone...ccatz

Welcome Terryanne! I am a 54 year old teacher, who lives in So.Calif, but am originally from Buffalo, NY...and have many cousins in Pittsburgh, and Wilkes-Barre...so know the state well!

We all love meerksts here...as well as an assortment of other animals!

There actually is a place about an hour from me, where you can visit meerkats, feed them, and they crawl all over you...because Pam, the owner of Fellow Earthlings Wildlife Center, gives you mealworms to feed them with.

She rescues them after zoos can't deal with them, for a variety of reasons...sick, or old. But hers end up living...let's see, one lived to be 16! You can check out her website, by clicking on the link Adopt a Meerkat...on this AP thread.

Anyway...you and Jake are very welcome here!

ccatz,

I agree, this really is an amazing group. Hope to see it continue to grow in the future.

terryanne, korkiemama, titus1809, and hildy60,

Always nice to read about fellow meerkat lovers.

I just want to welcome Terryanne and Newmanor fan here! I have been busy, not as much time to post. Its so good to see new kats here, this is a great place. Hope you all have a good evening, hugs.

Welcome Terryanne
I saw your post on the Good Morning thread, but just wanted to say welcome once again!

One thing for sure, new manor fan....if you are on this forum, on any of the boards, you are a #1, certified and in good standing meerkat lover.

ditto to what ccatz said!

Thanks for all the welcomes. I try to stop by each day to check out the latest postings. Meerkat lovers are a generous and helpful group.

Up to the burrow entrance we go!!

I've been lurking for a bit here, but never could get an account for some reason it worked today! I've watched Meerkat Manor just this year, but am trying to catch up on all the information you all seem to know already! Is there any place I should look that would help me become more knowledgeable a little faster?

Welcome to the burrow, sistermeerkatCGR!

This is a pretty big place to read everything, but to help you out, "welcome to the burrow" is mostly social. "talk about meerkat manor here" is self explanatory, and "spoiler board" is for stuff that has not been show on Animal Planet yet.
There is also a wonderful site call FKMP
this is the link: FKMP
where there is alot of information about the project that meerkat manor is filmed from.

Sistermeerkatcgr, Welcome to the burrow! We are getting lots of new kats. All are welcome here, and you will see this is a nice bunch to chat with. I guess Melba gave you the guide, have fun and post anywhere. Hugs.

Hello New Manor fan! Hope your day is a good one, or I should say evening! Hugs.

Hello sistermeerkatCGR. Glad you were finally able to join. There have been some issues with the login process so do not be discouraged if you have future difficulty logging in.

Thanks for the welcome keshameerkat. Any evening I am able to login is a great evening.

keschameerkat - Sorry I left the "c" out of your name.

new manor fan -

Welcome to you, if I did not do so already.

Also for both you and sistermeerkatcgr, ccatz has done an excellent summary of the forum further up on the page
