A publication about the domestic cat
The animal in your house
is still a bit of a mystery.
We write about cats the way we would want them written about — carefully, from evidence, by people who have spent years around them. Care, health, behaviour, breed science, photography, and a directory of vets who actually know cats.

Where to begin
Twelve ways in.
Everything we publish sits in one of these. Pick the one that matches the question you actually have.
Health
What to watch for, what to ask, and when a symptom is an emergency.
Breeds
Breed science, including the hereditary conditions most guides skip.
Behaviour
Why cats do what they do — read from the evidence, not from folklore.
Care
Litter, food, water, grooming, and the daily decisions that quietly add up.
Medicine
Neutering, vaccination, parasite control — the routine care that does the work.
Lore
Cats in myth, history and superstition — and where the stories came from.
Scientific Research
New studies read properly — what the paper found, and what it does not say.
Training
Clicker work, carrier training, and the handling that makes vet visits survivable.
Photography
Close, textural work — fur, whiskers, expression — from working photographers.
Find a Vet
A growing directory of cat-capable clinics, filterable by city and hours.
Music
Music pitched for feline hearing, generated live — for settling, and for the carrier.
Shop
Print, and a short list of objects our own reporting argues for. No food, no supplements.

Neutering: The Timing Question Nobody Explains Properly
Six months is a convention, not a finding. Where the number came from, what the evidence in cats actually says, and why the default costs kittens their lives.
Training
The Carrier Is the Training. The Vet Visit Is the Test.
Most of what goes wrong at a vet appointment has already gone wrong at home, twenty minutes earlier, in the hallway, with a plastic box.

What Your Cat Is Actually Being Vaccinated Against
Three diseases, one syringe, and a schedule nobody explains. What each core vaccine is for, what it can and cannot prevent, and why kittens need several.

A directory of clinics that treat cats properly — filterable by city, by hours, and by whether they take emergencies in the middle of the night. Currently covering 15 cities in India, expanding outward.

Closer than you usually get.
Cats are not small dogs, and they are not difficult. They are just specific. The whole site is an argument for taking that specificity seriously.
