1. Thou shall be a cat. (Dogs, ferrets heffelumps and woozles: Go find your own guild.)

    

2. Thou shall have thy own web site. (Or at least a couple of pages on one that are yours. And note I get bored easily, If I cannot find your pages, through someone's web site within a couple of clicks, I may give up.)

    

3. Thy Web Site shall be from a feline point of view. (Note humans who want to masquerade as cats, We don't mind this as we know some of you, are devout cat lovers, who for some reason are unable to let cats live with them. But your entry must be convincing, and I must believe that a cat has done this. And I am one, so I should know.)

    

4. Grammatical excellence is not a requirement. (We are cats after all) If the content of the site is of entertaining enough quality, allowance into the guild should present no problems.. And allowances will be made for kittens, as long as the site doesn't over stretch the rules.

    

5. If thou art presenting works of art or photography for guild status, they must also be from a cats view, and have artistic merit. Not just lots of pictures of yourself, showing how pretty you are. (You may believe you are the most beautiful cat in the world. But there are five cats on the judging panel who may not agree.)

    

6. Thou shalt not present sites that are painful to our eyes, i.e.. So full of clashing colours that a chameleon would have a nervous breakdown if it passed the monitor. Nor shall they be so full of Animation's that our modem goes into meltdown trying to download them.

    

7. Thou shalt not present sites that are over fluffy and cute, Nice is nice and pretty is pretty, but these can be overdone and our 'Tin Openers' get annoyed if we are sick over their keyboards.

    

8. Thou shall try and write in some recognisable form of English. Allowances will be made for kittens who are applying for junior status. But we will not tolerate overuse of clichés. (I.e.. To be Purrfectly honest is OK. But: 'My meeoowmmy helped me wite this, I wuv my Meeoowmmy Is not.) Help from humans is perfectly acceptable, (Keyboards are not over cat friendly.) But please try and keep it in your view. (Humans can be pushy and take over if you are not careful.)

    

9. We are sorry but we have enough trouble reading English, and cannot unfortunately take sites in other languages without translation pages. (As much as we would love to read these sites.)
   

    

10. Thou shalt not present sites of obscene nature. (There are young kittens on the judging panel.).

     

11. Thou shall fill out the in the e-mail correctly, and give all the details necessary. (Later it will be an application form)

     

12. Thou shall give the correct URL (http://www.whateveryoururlis.com) and return e-mail address. Other wise I shall be unable to check your site or send you your herald.

     

13. Thou shall send your application to us at the correct e-mail address. (Sending it to mrakorn@abudabi.com will not help get you membership.)

     

14. The decision of the Panel is final. Although re-application is allowed. (i.e. You now actually have a page on the site that we can view.)

     

15. The Guild Master Shall reserve the right to change or amend these rules at any time and without notice.

Here endeth the rules
