Editorial Policy
Our goal is to help you create a harmonious, enrichment-rich home for your cat—without compromising safety, durability, or design. This Editorial Policy outlines our standards, from topic selection to corrections, so you know what to expect from every piece we publish.
Independence and Integrity
We do not accept payment for positive coverage. Products may be purchased retail or provided as samples; either way, our assessments remain independent. Affiliate partnerships never determine our recommendations.
Expertise and Review
Content is created by a multidisciplinary team—including a feline behavior specialist, a pet-friendly interior designer, and a materials/safety engineer—and is fact-checked for accuracy and clarity. Where applicable, we cite reputable sources or provide manufacturer documentation.
Product Selection
We prioritize items that:
- Meet instinctual needs (climbing, scratching, perching, hiding)
- Demonstrate stability, safe finishes, and robust fasteners
- Offer easy cleaning and thoughtful assembly
- Present durable materials and decor-friendly design
Testing and Scoring
Our evaluation methodology is described in detail on our How We Test page. In brief, we examine safety, enrichment fit, durability, aesthetics, ease of cleaning, assembly, and value. Long-term testing informs updates.
Corrections and Updates
If we get something wrong, we fix it. We timestamp major edits and note material corrections. Products are re-reviewed as designs change, availability shifts, or new data emerges.
Monetization and Disclosures
We may earn commissions via affiliate links. We disclose this on-page and in our Privacy Policy. Commissions never affect our verdicts.
Community Standards
We welcome constructive feedback. Hate speech, harassment, or misinformation will be moderated. Contact us at [email protected] for concerns or correction requests.
Safety Disclaimer
Our guidance supports, but does not replace, advice from your veterinarian or qualified behavior professional. Always follow manufacturer instructions and supervise initial product use.
