Pricing is annual because billing you 13 times a year on a 28-day cycle is a thing some companies do, and we would rather not.

Claim your spot

Five fields. One cat.

We ask for the cat's name because the welcome email is addressed to them, not you. We maintain this is a feature.

"Best decision I made this year. Also the cheapest. Also I wasn't expecting the enamel pin."

If you have multiple cats, pick the nosiest one for now.
For matching with your weekly horoscope. No ulterior data motive.

No credit card on the free tier. Ever.

Frequently, or at least occasionally, asked

Questions, briefly answered.

Yes. The Kitten tier is free, forever. No credit card. No upgrade nag emails. The paid tiers exist because the hosting bill is real and the enamel pins are not cheap.

Yes. There's a "between cats" profile option. Bring the cat you had, the cat you will have, or a cat you're just really fond of somewhere else.

Yes, but the free tier only lets you make one profile. The Tabby tier gets unlimited cat profiles, because we understand sometimes you have nine.

No. No display ads, no affiliate tracking pixels, no newsletter-inserted promotions. The Meow Mall exists and it is clearly labelled as the place where things are for sale.

You automatically drop to the free tier. You keep your cat profile, your posts, and your forum history. We do not hostage-take data.

It's a pun. We are aware. Let's move on.
