I was born in Northumberland but now live in Somerset.
Why did you start writing your Web site?
I always wanted a web site and someone I know said he would design a site for me as a favour if I would give him one of my kittens. As I don't deal like that I said I would rather pay someone and not be bound in some sort of deal with one of my babies. When I enquired about the price I was quoted £500.00 - well out of my reach. So my husband and I decided that we would have a go ourselves.
WHY do you write a site about your pets?
We wanted to share our beautiful pets with people who perhaps could not own one for themselves.
What kinds of things do you discuss about you pets on your site?
What they have done at shows - it is really just a site of pictures.
Do you and/or others in your family communicate with readers of your site?
How much email feedback to you recieve from your site? Is it mainly positive or negative?
Thankfully we have always had a positive feedback from out site.
Have you met any new friends because of the site?
Not really
Has your motivation changed over time?
Not really
Do your friends and family know you keep this site/read it? If so have you had any really negative experiences as a result? If not why?
Friends have asked us to provide a site for them and our family are totally amazed that a members of the family has web pages. My great niece loves getting onto the web and looking at the cats. It is a great way for members of the family who live away to see our latest arrivals.
How has your Web site benefited you? Your friends? Or total strangers?
I would say that it has benefited both.
If you had to do it over again from the beginning, what would you change?
What are your favorite things on your site?
I love the graphics, they are so sweet and I love putting up different pictures for people to see - I just hope they get as much pleasure in looking at them.
What do you look for in an pet Web site, as a viewer?
A site which caters for my needs.
What is "one word" that would describe your site?
Friendly
How do you tackle the mechanics of Web design and how do you deal with your frustrations when you can't do what you envision.
I pass the problem onto my husband - after all he keeps telling me that "men are better at these things than women" Oh yeah!
Why do you think people are interested in your pets and what they do?
Perhaps it is because they are so beautiful and live as part of our family. Show cats do not have to live any differently than normal pets - they are pets first and foremost.
