Introduction to rec.pets.cats.announce

   This is a list of those informational posts and FAQs that are
   regularly posted to rec.pets.cats.announce and/or news.answers. As the
   rpc.announce charter states in part:
   
     This moderated group is meant for quick access to informational
     postings covering all areas of cat ownership. Postings to this
     group will include, but not be limited to: 
    1. FAQ's about various breeds and their characteristics
    2. FAQ's regarding care and feeding of domestic cats
    3. Catnames List
    4. Announcements of shows, gatherings of interest and upcoming
       events.
       
     Reader-supplied FAQs and informational postings on any feline
     related topic are welcomed and will be posted subject to moderator
     approval. Submissions related to medical matters are referred to
     veterinary professionals for confirmation of accuracy before
     posting.
     
   To send informational posts or FAQ's to rec.pets.cats.announce, email
   to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please label the subject line clearly, and
   remember that some posts may be better served by posting to one of the
   other newsgroups available, particularly if it is not something you
   would repost on a periodic basis.
   
   Note that any email sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or "posted" to
   rec.pets.cats.announce will receive an automated acknowledgement of
   the submission. If you have inserted anti-spam into your return
   address, you will not get this automatic acknowlegement, nor will I
   make the additional effort to correctly transcribe your address should
   I reject your article.
   
   If you have a question about a post that you submitted, with a valid
   return address, but saw neither a rejection notice nor an appearance
   in the newsgroup, then please email me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   Please enclose a copy of the article in question, when you posted it,
   and other relevant details, the more the better. Use a valid return
   address -- again, I will not wade through anti-spam altered addresses
   to find the correct one.
   
   In the following list, the "status" indicates whether the post is a
   FAQ and crossposted to news.answers, or an informational posting that
   appears only in rec.pets.cats.announce.
