Alrighty~
Here are the rules:

1. You may only guess one letter at a time.

2. After you have guessed a letter, you must wait for another player to guess a letter before you can go again.

3. The host of the game responding to a guess does not count as a turn. Should you choose a letter, then receive a response from the member host, you must wait for the next member to guess a letter.

4. One point will be awarded for each correct letter, 2 points for vowels.

5. Only six misses are allowed in the game.

6. If you wish to guess the phrase, send it to me via Pet Talk personal email. [This is accessible via the 'PM' or 'Profile' buttons on any of my posts.]
DO NOT post phrase guesses on the forum. If you wish to guess a letter, post it on the forum.

7. You must have submitted a correct letter to submit your solution. Unlike letters, if you submit a wrong solution, you are disqualified from continuing in that puzzle.

8. The player who correctly guesses the phrase wins the game! If no one has guessed it correctly after six misses, then the player with the most points wins the game.

9. Only 5 guesses allowed in total until the host updates the puzzle. Any guess after 5, before the next update, won't be counted as a guess. Also, someone else has to guess a letter before you can guess another letter.

If you correctly guess the phrase, you get to host the next puzzle! But if you do not want to host the next puzzle, the person with the next highest points will have the choice of hosting it.

Alright, so here's the next puzzle:

-- -- - ------ -- ---- --- --------- -- - ---. -- -- - ------------- ------, --------- -- --- --- ------, ---- -- ----- --- --------, --- ----------- -- ----------- ---------. -- ---- -- ---- ------, -- -- ----- --- ------ -- ----------, --- --- ---- -----.
~--------- -------

Good luck, and have fun!:)

Now I think I should be getting guesses after this up-date, it's almost the whole puzzle:

It is a matter to gain the affection of a cat. He is a philosophical animal, tenacious of his o-n ha-its, fond of order and neatness, and disinclined to e-travagant sentiment. He -ill -e -our friend, if he finds -ou -orth- of friendship, -ut not -our slave.

OK, Luckies4me is doing the next one!!

Great job everyone!!
Here's the answer:

It is a matter to gain the affection of a cat. He is a philosophical animal, tenacious of his own habits, fond of order and neatness, and disinclined to extravagant sentiment. He will be your friend, if he finds you worthy of friendship, but not your slave.
