By Franny Syufy, About.com Guide to Cats
You'll find here the best of all the "cat brags," along with the means to contribute your own cats' "show and tell," so jump right in to my cat lovers' community! Featured here are reader-submitted cat photos, YouTube Cat Videos, articles on cats and reviews of cat products written by readers, a very active cats forum and much more.
Cat Photos Galore
Do the baby pictures in your brag book all show fur, whiskers, four legs and a tail? Would the guys at the water cooler rather talk about Monday Night Football than hear your latest story about your kitten, or are your neighbors starting to call you a "crazy cat lady?" Do you long for a community where you can share your photos and stories about your cats and gaze at page after page of sumptious feline pictures? We've a huge collection of photo galleries here: kittens, senior cats, funny cats, special needs cats; just about every kind of cat pictures you'd want to see.

My readers play a huge role in this site by participating enthusiastically in polls and posting their comments in the blogs. Those cat lovers who actively participate in the About.com Cats Forum are particular assets. Forum discussions have been instrumental in a number of articles on this site, and the well-considered, insightful discussions are a great way of weighing the pros and cons of issues related to cats as well as cat foods and other products. Many forum members are cat experts in their own right, and are extremely helpful to those with questions. We have our light side too, with photo sharing and parties.
