This group focuses on those lenses which have lots of useful information for cat owners - including looking after a cat, cats and the home, cat health, cat food, cat breeds etc.
It is not about individual cats, feline art or cats who sell T shirts, mugs or gadgets from Amazon or for me to be amazed at how many commercial links can be squeezed into one lens! Lens listed here may provide links to commercial products - but only in moderation and only if completely relevant to cats and the lens in question.
Readers are advised to get professional advice or obtain advice on health issues from a qualified source. Any lens which covers advice relating to a health issue must clearly identify a verifiable source qualified to provide such advice.
Please see guidance at the end for reasons why applications to join this group may be rejected.

Good grief, how did I never find this group before? My old "Feline Frequent Flyer Tips" lens -- mostly about Samhain's preferred cat carrier -- definitely fits.
She says it's because I'm a dumb human.
Joining this Group - what you need to know
Please read this before suggesting your lens should be added
It is not about individual cats, feline art or cats who sell T shirts, mugs or gadgets from Amazon or for me to be amazed at how many commercial links can be squeezed into one lens!
Please submit your lens if you think it might fit. However, your request to join the group may be rejected if one of the following is applicable:
1) the lens does not have a major emphasis on the provision of good quality information about cats and cat breeds which falls within the scope of this group (see above)
2) the lens is not yet well developed - reapply when it is
3)the lens outlines advice about health issues but fails to source verifiable and qualified sources for that advice.
4) the lens appears to exist to promote the lens owner's products
5) the lens focuses mainly on an individual cat or selling things unrelated to the lens topic.
6) the lens comprises mainly commercial links which may or may not be 'on topic'.
