SPAM

[Malayaa Resident]

I've pretty much quit reading spam, and have most notices and chat turned off...otherwise IMs get capped too fast. I do go to the group notices before an auction and pull them up, and visit the forum to see what's happening. I find myself on the forum and Flickr a lot, they are great communication tools! What "sells" me on cats is
1) live cats at auction instead of boxes (except for collectibles)
2) pictures of cute live cats (not boxes!) on the forum and on Flickr
3) I use area search in the secondary markets and put in keywords. I think the last search I did was for "wild tiger" (ears). So boxes and cats that have the special trait in their names, pop up. Spelling the trait right helps too! Otherwise it doesn't come up in the search.

My pet peeve is people who friend me after some conversation, then relentlessly try to sell me their cats.
