Catster Site News and Updates

Are you one of our Zealie-crazed DogsterPlus or Catster Plus members? If so, we’ve just increased your monthly allotment of 25 Zealies to 30 Zealies! Zealies are just one of the perks of being a Plusser.

Zealies can be used to give away Rosettes, Stars and Gifts to any pet on Dogster or Catster. See all the fun items available for purchase in our Gift Shop.

Enjoy this token of our appreciation. Big woofs and meows!

Today we launched a number of revisions to the homepage in response to the feedback barked and meowed in by you!

These enhancements are live now:

* Gifts and messages appear together on one tab, so both are visible when the page loads. The tab also has convenient links to My Forum Posts, plus Resume Stroll if you’ve been browsing pet pages.
* My Family is now a tab at the top, so it’s there when you need it, but not viewable immediately upon page load.
* Featured pets (Dog of the Day, Cat of the Day, Diaries, etc.) moved up to the middle of the page are all visible upon page load.
* My Corral and My Pals tabs are now paginated, so you can easily scroll through them.
* A fun welcome message with links to all your pets is back at the top of the page!
* Friends activity (Bark Board/Scratching Post) moved down to bottom of page, but it has more space to display more info at once.
* Site stats are back to the homepage, showing the number of pets added yesterday and more.

Other changes include the following:

* Clicking a gift icon once again shows the gift info, such as the sender and message, directly on the homepage.
* A link to Advanced Pet Search appears in the upper right when you are logged in.
* The Add a Dog/Cat button is replaced by a See the Dogs/Cats button for logged-in users in the top navigation. We’re also updating Strolls page—which is a great starting place for browsing Pet Pages—to show all strolls. The new button will link to that page.

We hope you’ll join our homepage group and let us know what you think.

Hi everyfur!

We’ve launched four site changes that may not be obvious, so I thought it was time to point them out.

• You can now transfer a profile from your account to another account without having to contact HQ. This is handy when you are fostering an animal or share a family pet, or if you created two accounts by mistake. On your account page under the ‘Serious Stuff’ section you’ll see a link to kick off the transfer. Of course both parties have to approve of the move before it will happen.
• On your account page there’s a link to see your Zealie transaction history. It shows the details of every time you receive or spend Zealies.
• Plus members can now see on the Account page the start date and the expiration date of their subscriptions. Sometimes the emails we send get caught in spam filters or the like, so now you’ll always now how much more time you have left.
• When you go to Dogster or Catster Local we do an even better job of showing a map of where you are. If you are logged in and we recognize your zipcode, we serve a map for that. If you are not logged in or we don’t recognize your zipcode, we do our best to show your area anyway. (No worries about privacy issues, as we only show the maps to you—we don’t store any info. We don’t actually know where you live ;)

Let us know how these work for you!
