Create a Cat Profile
Catbook Help: How do I...?

Answers to the most commonly-asked questions about using Catbook.

Be an "Admin" for a Group?

  • When you create a Group, you can select yourself or one of your cats to be the administrator.
  • A park's administrator has more control over the park than regular members: you can edit the park's description, edit the Wall, invite other members to become administrators, and so on.
  • You can only be the administrator of a Group if you created it, or if you are selected by another administrator.
  • To add another administrator to your Group, go to the list of members and click "Select as an admin" beside the user's name.

Find a Group?

  • Go to the profile of a person or pet in the group, and click the link to the Group underneath their profile picture.

Join a Group?

  • Once you've found a Group you want to join, click the "Join..." link at the top right. People and cats can join — you decide! (Some people prefer to keep their pet front-and-centre.)

Leave a Group?

  • Click the "Leave..." link at the top right. People and cats can leave — you can remove yourself but your pet can stay, and vice-versa.
