How We Write Our Cat Care Guides

Every article is checked against vet and research sources, and we link to them so you can read more. Where the experts don't agree, we say so instead of picking a side.

How often do you post new articles?

We add new articles regularly, usually about one a month. Seasonal topics, like keeping your cat cool in summer, go up when they're most useful.

Is the advice on this blog a replacement for a vet?

No. Our articles are general information to help you understand your cat. If your cat seems unwell, is in pain or is acting out of character, see your vet.

Can I suggest a topic?

Yes, please do. Send us a message through our contact page and tell us what your cat has been up to.

Do you sell the products mentioned in your articles?

Some of them. Where we stock something that genuinely helps, like a cooling mat or a scratching post, we link to it. Everything ships free Australia-wide.
