One way to get together with other cat-lovers is to log on to
CraigsList.org, the free
bulletin board for ads.
Click on your city in right column.
Next, click on "Community."
Then click "Pets," and post a message such as:
CAT LOVERS UNITE!
There's a new book called "Happy Cat Day" that proposes
August 15th as an official holiday. This sounds like fun, so I'm
looking for other people who love cats and would like to join
in to see if we can come up with ideas to make it happen. And
maybe have some laughs. I'll be at (PLACE) on (DAY) and (TIME)
with a sign "Happy Cat Day." Call or e-mail me for details.
(E-MAIL ADDRESS and PHONE NUMBER)
Craig's only caters to big cities; if your town isn't on their
list, check out local cat orgs, veterinary offices and pet stores
- places where cat owners hang out - to see if you can put up
announcements. Also try community, church and store bulletin boards.
Also post your message in other category titles under "
Community, too, including "Activity Partners," ""Groups,"
and "Events."
Also click "Discussion Forums" and post your message
under "Pets."
You'll probably have to re-post your message every couple of
days with updates; try different headlines, too, to see which
lines attracts the most responses. Maybe start with "Happy
Cat Day." And another day with "Book Promotes Cat Holiday."
Or "Hello Cat People!" And maybe "Celebrate Cats
on August 15." And some of your own, too.
No one may show up the first time. You'll likely have to re-post
the message a number of times until you get enough responses.
Accumulate e-mail addresses and names. And at your first meeting
(If you post enough times, they will come) propose a list of dates
to see when people can make it.
