A place for cats and their people
How CatZ Works
CatZ is a cat-focused social network for sharing photos and short videos, discovering everyday cat moments and connecting with people who love cats. You can use the CatZ Web App in a desktop or mobile browser, or download the iOS app for iPhone and iPad.
This guide explains what you can do, how to get started and which information belongs in your account rather than your posts. It describes the current CatZ experience, without featuring member accounts or member-generated content.
1. Choose web or iOS
To try CatZ without installing anything, open the Web App in your browser. It works on desktop and on mobile browsers such as Safari, Firefox, Chrome and Edge. You can browse the public feed before signing in. Posting, following and other member actions require an account.
If you prefer an app on your iPhone or iPad, download CatZ from the App Store. Both experiences connect to the CatZ community. Use your existing email-and-password CatZ account rather than creating a second account just because you change devices.
Sign-in options are platform-specific. The current Web App uses email and password; it does not currently offer Sign in with Apple. If your existing account uses Apple sign-in, use the available iOS sign-in option or contact Support for help with web access.
2. Join the community and set up your profile
CatZ is for people aged 16 and over. On the web, choose Create a CatZ account and enter your username, email address, password and confirmation, and accurate date of birth. The date format is DD-MM-YYYY. Read the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy before agreeing and completing signup.
Your CatZ profile is your presence in the community. Choose a name and bio you are comfortable sharing with other members. Do not put your email address, date of birth, home address or other private details in your profile text or captions.
The current profile belongs to your CatZ account. You can share moments from the cats in your life; this guide does not promise separate independently managed accounts or profiles for each cat. Profile and companion options are available through the current Settings screens.
3. Share a photo or short video
Open Create in the Web App. On mobile, Take Photo opens the browser’s camera selection where supported, while Upload Photo lets you choose an existing file. On desktop, Add Photo or Video opens the normal file picker. Your device and browser determine the exact camera or library options shown.
CatZ supports JPEG, PNG and WebP photos, plus supported H.264 MP4/MOV short videos up to 20 seconds. Check the size and format guidance in Create before uploading. HEIC/HEIF is not currently a supported upload format; if your browser does not convert it, choose a supported image instead.
Review the preview, write a caption and choose Share Post. If you cancel the picker, your earlier selection is kept. If you choose a different file, check the new preview before sharing. Use media you have permission to share, and avoid including private details about yourself or other people.
4. Follow, give Paws and join conversations
The feed is a place to discover cat photos and short videos. Signed-in members can give Paws to posts, comment, reply and follow member profiles. Your profile and following relationships help you take part in the community.
Messages are available to signed-in members through CatZ’s messaging experience. They are not part of the public website or an SEO page. For questions about visibility, content or your account, use the available member controls and contact Support when needed.
5. Know what is public—and what CatZ promotes in search
Some posts are visible in the Web App’s public feed without signing in. Current member profile pages require sign-in. Public-feed visibility is not a reason to share information you expect to remain private.
CatZ’s search-discovery principle is simple: index CatZ, not CatZ members. The public website explains the product and provides CatZ-owned guides. CatZ does not intentionally turn member names, profiles, posts, photographs, comments or relationships into search-engine landing pages.
Your account details, private messages and other login-protected information are not material for CatZ’s public guides or search metadata. See the Privacy Policy for the broader information-handling practices and your choices.
6. Change your mind about a photo
Before publishing, use the small X on the selected media preview to clear that selection. You can then choose another file; your caption is kept. If an upload is already in progress, cancel it first and follow the confirmation shown for removing an uploaded draft.
On a published photo you own, the photo-level X asks you to confirm removal. This removes the photo while keeping the parent post, caption, comments, replies and Paws. It does not delete your account. CatZ checks that removal can be completed safely; if it cannot, follow the message shown or contact Support.
Removing a photo is different from deleting an account. For account questions, including deletion and provider-specific sign-in requirements, use Settings and Support rather than trying to change your account through a public webpage.
7. Find help and community guidance
Use the reporting and blocking controls available to signed-in members when appropriate, and contact Support if you need help. Share respectfully, follow CatZ’s Terms and do not upload material you do not have the right to use.
Our Support page explains how to reach CatZ. Include the screen and problem you are seeing, but do not send your password. You can also read About CatZ, the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy before joining.
