I think all cat and kitten threads should state so in the title.

It would save a lot of clicks and time.

Those who are interested in reading about cats and kittens could go straight to the threads saving all the reading of the political crap on the DU and those who are not so interested in cats and kittens could just avoid them .....

What do you think? Do we need a cat and kitten forum?

Somehow, this thread makes me want to start a lot of kitty threads without warnings in the title just to be irritating. Cause, seriously? If this bugs ya? Ya got issues.

Posters who do not clearly indicate in the subject line that the post is deficient in cats/kittens should be nuked. Posters who are flippant or dismissive of cats/kittens should be nuked. Posters who do not (at least occasionally) post cat/kitten threads should be nuked. Also, we should have a cat/kitten forum to house overflow cat/kitten posts. Two such forums would be better...

I'm pretty sure with a little effort hosts from all of the forums could find some representative photos...we don't need to be unreasonable here, I say give them till the end of November to get up to speed and have those kitteh pics posted.

I am now a thorough convert and have written 4 threads on Nikita's kids for cat-savvy people. Therefore, I have to side with placing the threads where the author thinks it is most appropriate. I personally did label my threads for cat-savvy DU'ers, but that was my personal preference and I do not think it should be a requirement.

She will come in from time to time.

Once adopted by a cat, always adopted.

My cat shared a dead mouse with me the other day.

Just came up and dropped it at me feet.

She just wanted share.

I have been owned by cats for years.

If I didn't have a cat, a cat would find me.

I have given up not having a cat, it is written somewhere.
