catpost.com ?

but do you understand post at all in the context of catsbypost?

Do you think it:

1) just doesn't make sense
2) is a bit of a weird way of putting it, but makes sense
3) makes sense, but would prefer mail
4) omg how british

This is nothing negative. British english is much cleaner than the american variant.

Use post as a verb or mail as a noun, this way it sounds good on either side of the pond.

You'd think so, but it's actually split both ways. I think we changed a lot of Zs to an S to be more like the French and less like Americans, while over in America Webster rebelled by changing other words. The rest was natural evolution, which happens to all languages.

I'll get both certainly.. but the issue of logos presents a bit of a problem. Plus the branding on the actual cats must be one or the other. Dealing with two sets of cats could be confusing (not to mention if they escaped and got mixed up, separating a bunch of yowling cats might be tricky).
