Re: Hitting Rock Bottom, a.k.a. Getting on Catster
Some observations:
1. The Catster site may be designed for cats, but the interface is too complicated for this human. I don't know what's going on! So many choices and icons and colors and euphemisms!
2. Contains some choice play on words, like:
"We appreciate Catster users and we're not lion!"
Grumble.
3. You have user options like "Gimme Some Paw." WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN???
4. The most fascinating and troubling part of my two-day Catster experiment is getting emails from other cat owners, pretending to be their cats. For example:
"Please accept our paws in friendship."
"Hi Caesar, welcome to Catster! You are a handsome! We hope you have fun here
and that we can be friends."
This puts me in a difficult spot. I don't like to ignore emails, but since these emails are purported to be from cats, am I supposed to respond as my cats??? What a purr-dicament.
