Cats!

Round Robin Storybook
Genre Rules

1. All stories that fall under the umbrella of the Cats! Genre should adhere to the General Rules of The Round Robin Storybook
   
   
2. All Cats! stories must be about that most mysterious animal: the cat. To this end, these stories must use cats or cat-kin as the main protagonists.
   
   
3. All feline characters (living and historical) created for a Cats! storyline must be based on actual cats (living or dead). The feline character should be recognizable as being derived from a specific cat by people who know (or knew) that cat.
   
   
4. Composite characters may be created, as long as specific elements of the composite may be recognized as having been derived from those cats.
   
   
5. This round robin is open to all interested parties who:
   
   
   1. meet the criteria listed in the General Rules of The Round Robin Storybook, and
      
      
   2. are currently or have previously been owned by one or more cats, or can produce a letter of recommendation for a cat who is a close personal friend.
      
      
6. Participants may create a character based on a cat who owns/ed or knows/knew another participant's but only IF they get purrrmission from that cat and/or his/her participant first.
   
   
7. Common courtesy is expected and required. For example: you do not kill off or make major changes to a character someone else has created without the purrrmission of the cat and/or his/her participant.
