About Cat Care Store
Cat Care Store is an independent explainer site run by the Cat Care Store Editorial Desk. Despite the name, we do not sell products. We are not veterinarians: our guides are general information, and several older articles are told as first-person stories to make a situation easier to follow — they are illustrative, not veterinary case records. If your cat is unwell, call your vet.
