Time Spent with Cats
© Time Spent with cats 2019
Want to spend some time with us?
How does it work?
If your cat(s) and you would like to be featured on Time Spent With Cats, just drop us a line at SpendTime@Timespentwithcats.com with a few details about yourselves. If The Editorial Committee - that’s Nelson, Princess Leia and me (they take bribes; I don’t, but I have the deciding vote) - decide we’d like to feature you here, we’ll get in touch to make arrangements to come and visit you. When we visit, we’ll spend a little time chatting about you and your cats and taking photographs of them. Ideally, I’d like to get a photo of you with your cats too, but if you don’t want to be shown, that’s absolutely fine; there’s no pressure. Then I go away, write it up and pop it on this site for people to enjoy. If you’d like to see what I’ve written about you before it goes up on the site, I’m more than happy to let you. I’m based in the Midlands and fit TSWC around my work and other commitments so please don’t be upset if it’s a little while before I’m able to visit you or if it takes me a while to write things up afterwards - we’ll get there in the end. I’m happy to drive a reasonable distance to see you, depending on time and commitments of course, but there may be some places that are just too far away to be practical. Alas, if you live in the Outer Hebrides or Lands End I may regrettably have to decline. Don’t let that put you off contacting us, though, because where there’s a will there’s a way, and if you have an interesting story to tell, we’ll find a way to do it (maybe using your own photos and chatting over the phone). We’d also like to hear from or about any cat charities who’d like to be featured here. Although the aim of this site is not fund-raising, we’re always happy to help raise awareness and support for a good cause. We’d also like to hear from you if you’ve done a piece of writing that’s cat-related and you’d like it to be featured on our ‘Mewsings’ page.Get in touch at: SpendTime@TimeSpentWithCats.com
You’ll be pleased to know that our privacy
policy was written by a human, not by a cat,
because we all know what cats think about
privacy. (I for one am not even allowed to
visit the bathroom without feline company.)
It’s a very simple policy indeed: we only use
personal data that you give us, for the
purpose you’ve given it and nothing else.
You’ll have noticed there’s no cookie notice
on this site. That’s because we don’t use
them. In fact, we don’t collect any personal
data from or about you here unless you sign
up to receive an e-mail notification whenever
we post a new story. And if you change your
mind about that, just drop us an e-mail and
we’ll stop sending them.
If you contact us about being featured, we’ll
only use your details to arrange that and
won’t hold on to them longer than necessary,
and if you are featured we’ll check whether
there’s anything you don’t want us to
photograph or mention (such as your
surname or the fact that you work for MI5). I
may put some photos on the TSWC
Instagram feed and maybe on our Facebook
page one day too if I ever get around to it but
if your cat would rather Mark Zuckerberg
didn’t know anything about him or her, just let
me know.
Any errors are mine - let me know and I’ll
correct them - and if for any reason you ever
want me to remove a photo of, or detail about
you from the website, please let me know,
As you can see, it’s all pretty straightforward,
so I’m going to leave it at that and just say if
you have any questions or concerns, drop me
a line and I’ll be happy to explain or reassure.
Using photos and content
If you’re featured, feel free to use and share the photos and content that relate to you and your cats. If you’re a visitor to the site who’d like to use anything you see here please ask first and then give appropriate credit. If you do both those things I’m unlikely to object. Copyright in all images and content belongs to Time Spent with Cats.
