'Catspotting' Is A Facebook Group Where People Share The Best, Unexpected Encounters With Cats (40 Pics)

The more unique or interesting the spot is, the more likely it is to become successful within the group. "Most of our viral posts have been either extraordinarily silly (cats with wild expressions or in really silly places or positions) or really, really unique (one of our most popular posts was a beautiful photo of a cat standing triumphantly on top of a huge sand dune in the middle of the desert)," Black explained.

There is, however, one big difference between Dogspotting and Catspotting groups. The first is public while the second is private -- new members can join only after they're approved by the admins. "Initially, it was set to public but there were lots of people who would try to spam and troll us with photos of dead cats and porn and other gross stuff," Black explained. "It was easier and [required] less manpower to go private than to keep trying to weed out the trolls all the time."

After the community dealt with these pathetic individuals, it was able to once again enjoy what it likes best – cats. Black said the members of the group are all pretty much crazy cat people who just love everything about these majestic animals. "In our member requests, we ask people to answer the question 'What do you love about cats?' and 99% of answers are 'Everything!' and 'Toe beans!'"

"I never really intended for the group to get this big," she said. "I created it years ago as just a thing for me and my friends because I kept seeing cute cats and didn't have [anywhere to share the encounters]. I was a member of Dogspotting but I didn't really like the way that they did their admin and some of their rules were a bit weird so I figured I would make my own version with cats and it just blew up immediately." Now, the founder is really proud of how many awesome people are in the group and it makes her really happy to see how it makes so many of them smile, too. "We've had heaps of members say that seeing fun spots brightens their day. I love the group a lot."
