Ping Mark - Lost Cat FAW

If anyone is going to do a FAQ about cats getting out, I really think a
mention of the Loc8tor is in order:
http://www.loc8tor.com/Store/compare.aspx

I will second everything he just said.

Before we moved we picked up a loc8tor system with tags for all the cats,
FartBlossom (aka Starr the dog), and Nancy's keys. Since we've had them
nobody has gotten out, but there have been a few incidents where cats
were being especially good at hiding, and the loc8tor allowed me to
quickly narrow down where the invisible kitty was.

I know whenever a cat goes missing we have numbers of posts with good ideas
of finding the missing miscreant. What do you think about putting a page on
the FAQ that has all those suggestions and we can just point the frantic
slave there rather than trying to remember all the tips over and over again?

I have to admit I haven't been to every sub page on the site, but just like
Bereavement, and Health Issues, maybe we could put together a page for lost
cats? [Don't you love it when people "volunteer" you with their good ideas
;). I know you've been busy, but if we put together all the tips here with
a special subject (like the FTV) stories, I could put it all together in
HTML (sorry, I know *nothing* about blog programming).

Begging your pardon, David, but I find your site very difficult to
navigate. For example, I was not able to find those articles of lost
cats by going to the homepage, then the catpage, and then where???
I find stuff only when you have posted a direct link, not by trying to
find it by navigating on from the homepage. You know where everything
is, of course, because it's your site.

It is true that when looking for an article you have to look under
General articles. To be honest, with a choice of

What is on my Catpage?
Webrings and Banners
General information and Pictures
UK Quarantine
Links to various other sites
General articles
Poems
Poems by Favourite Authors

It is not immediately obvious which other heading than General
information and Pictures or General articles could possibly be about
Lost Cats, but there you go, I am biassed.

That was the one that caught my eye...I had no problem with your page at
all. I like the first lost cat link from Finding your Lost Cat in Seattle.
which is the general area where I live
I like the rest of your site too

That IS a great idea..especially for Mosey, the little brat who tried to
escape again this morning when I went out to pay the woman who just mowed
our lawn.
I had to grab him by the scruff of his hairy gray neck..mrrrrrrrrrt
