All Things Cat

After driving thousands of kilometers with cats in the back seat, I’m thinking of taking a trip without them (shhh!). From Tokyo to Rome, here are five cat-friendly places where cats reign supreme - even if you’re not a crazy cat lady… yet.

As a cat enthusiast, I'm always on the lookout for anything feline-related, so when I heard about Opera Air - a new browser with cat built right in - I had to try it. Fast, easy to use, and delightfully mindful, it even launched just in time to celebrate my cat Myratz’s 15th birthday - a purr-fect coincidence for both of us!

Do cats dream? Oh yes - very much! I live with three professional dreamers: Tito, who fights invisible monsters in his sleep, Myratz who dreams about food, and Pierre, the king of naps and dramatic snoring. In this article, I explore the meaning behind cat dreams, science of feline sleep, and how to tell when your cat is dreaming.

I upgraded my first cat fountain years ago using a light sensor so it turned on only when my cats approached. Since then, I’ve explored everything from plastic mistakes to stainless-steel marvels. Here’s my honest, cat-tested take on today’s automatic cat water fountains, how they keep cats healthier, hydrated and surprisingly entertained.

In Ghost Cats of Halloween: Frankie’s Spooky Special, author David W. Falls follows Frankie, our feline folklorist, into the shadows of folklore. From Greyfriars’ phantom mouser to Japan’s chilling bakeneko, these tales remind us that cats don’t just share our homes, they haunt our histories. Whiskers twitch, candles flicker, and legends prowl where memory meets the paranormal.

Cats didn’t just steal my heart, they rescued me. I’ve lived with rescue cats and foster-fails for most of my life, and I can’t imagine living without purrs. Here I share ten science-backed benefits of cat companionship, plus how my formerly allergic husband coped: acupuncture, a “safe room,” extra cleaning, occasional antihistamines, now he’s fine. Maybe your cat is waiting for you.

So, you’re getting a cat? Congrats! I put together the ultimate list of cat essentials for new owners, everything you need before your furry boss moves in. From litter boxes and bowls to beds, tunnels and salmon oil, this checklist will have you 100% prepared for day one.

Yes, cat litter box furniture can be chic. I’ve rounded up 7 stylish enclosures from Amazon that hide the mess while looking like real furniture. I also share the exact model I use at home and a DIY idea for upcycling a cabinet into a cat-friendly washroom.
