Community Corner

About and the Cats Guide encourage users' participation in the Cats Community. This site is maintained for cats and the people who love them, and would not be here if not for you. There are a number of ways you can actively participate in the Cats Community:
  • Guest Writers' Forum
    The Cats Guidesite welcomes articles, photos, and opinions from other people who share a passion for cats and their welfare. Since opinions are diverse and no one has all the answers, this format encourages a broad scope of information to be shared on the subject of Cats. To submit your own article for consideration, go to Submit an Article.
  • Photo Submission
    A terrific way to make new friends and share information about fabulous felines is to submit photos of your own cats. These pictures might be used in Centerfold Cats, as Jigsaw Puzzles or Postcards, or to illustrate Breed Profile articles, when appropriate.
  • Polls
    Many feature articles on this site are accompanied by polls. Community opinions are very important to us, so make your opinions heard.
  • Cats Site Forums
    Meet others who share your interests and love for cats. Cats Forum members run the gamut in experience, so you can share fears with "newbies" or learn (and/or teach) with the experts. Joining is an easy process-- we don't even ask for your first-born kitty-- and once you're a member, you can post in every Forum at About. Just a tip: the Cat Lovers forum is popular with the "newbies", while the Cats forum seems to attract more experienced folks, including breeders, but many of our members post to both forums, and I hope you will too.
  • About Cats Chat
    A great, casual way to meet other cat lovers in a real-time atmosphere. Join the regulars on Friday nights or form your own group. The chat room may also be reserved for special occasions. Just send me an email.
  • Links
    Submit your site for a link on one of the most rapidly growing Cats site in the world. If your site is accepted for a link, I'll send you a little graphic you may use on your page, like the one shown here. Of course, a link back is not necessary, but will be appreciated. This is a community, after all.
  • Contests
    The Cats site will occasionally sponsor contests, with prizes to the winners. Watch the "Essentials" section on the main page for contest announcements.
  • Join the About Cats Club.
    Plans are in the making for a Club exclusively for About Cats. The details are being ironed out, but I can tell you that the first step in becoming a member is to join About Cats as a member. Joining gives you lots of perks, like posting in the two Cats forums, your own e-mail account at About, 10 MB of space for your own web page, and other benefits. The NEW club will have many additional activities, to be announced soon!
