Frequently Asked Questions
Official answers from the CatDaily newsroom
Some questions are practical. Some are philosophical. Some are just the cat staring at a closed door until society improves.
What is CatDaily.com?
CatDaily.com is a warm, funny cat magazine and manga-newsroom site for humans ruled by cats. It combines playful “breaking mews” comedy with practical cat-care basics: food, behavior, health clues, indoor enrichment, kitten care, senior-cat comfort, litter-box diplomacy, and home safety.
Is CatDaily.com veterinary advice?
No. CatDaily.com is educational and entertainment content. It can help humans notice patterns and understand general cat-care ideas, but it cannot diagnose, treat, or replace a licensed veterinarian.
Who is Editor Whiskers?
Editor Whiskers is the CatDaily editor-in-chief: dignified, fluffy, serious about deadlines, and convinced that every keyboard is a warm editorial throne. He represents the cat’s point of view: calm authority, strong opinions, and full confidence that humans are support staff.
Who is Mochi the Intern?
Mochi is the kitten reporter: small, fast, cheerful, and operationally chaotic. Mochi asks the questions everyone else is too dignified to ask, such as “Is the litter box sand paperwork?” and “Can the carrier be rebranded as a Mobile Newsroom?”
Who is Madame Tuna?
Madame Tuna is CatDaily’s glamorous food critic. She reviews texture, aroma, purr-sentation, and whether dinner arrived with proper ceremony. She is funny, but her pages also point to real food basics: appetite changes, hydration, gradual food transitions, treat moderation, and veterinary concern when eating patterns change.
Who is Professor Purr?
Professor Purr explains feline behavior: scratching, kneading, loafing, zoomies, tail talk, hiding, play, and indoor enrichment. His main lesson is simple: behavior is communication, and context matters.
Who is the Litter Box Mayor?
The Litter Box Mayor is CatDaily’s public-works authority. His platform is clean litter, quiet location, easy access, enough boxes, and full respect for the box as a health-record station.
Why is the food bowl “emotionally empty”?
Cats sometimes object when food is pushed to the edges, stale, too deep in the bowl, not preferred, or served without the proper ceremony. The joke is funny because it feels true. The serious side is that appetite changes can matter. A cat that stops eating or struggles to eat needs attention.
Are the 3 AM zoomies normal?
Often, yes. Zoomies can be normal bursts of energy, especially after rest, meals, play cycles, or litter-box use. Humans can help with interactive play, enrichment, safe runways, and bedtime routines. But zoomies with distress, pain, disorientation, breathing trouble, injury, or sudden severe change deserve veterinary attention.
Why do cats love cardboard boxes?
Boxes can provide security, warmth, hiding, ambush opportunities, scratching texture, chew interest, and nap value. A safe box can be excellent low-cost enrichment. Remove tape, staples, plastic, packing materials, sharp edges, string, and anything a cat may swallow.
Why does my cat sit on the keyboard?
Keyboards are warm, central, attention-rich, and located exactly where the human is focusing. Try giving your cat a nearby bed, box, perch, or window station, plus play before work. Also protect cords and small office items.
What pages should I start with?
Start with Daily Cat News for the magazine feel, Cat Health Basics for important warning signs, Cat Behavior Explained for everyday cat logic, and Manga Episodes for the full CatDaily comedy universe.
Is CatDaily for kids?
CatDaily.com is written to be family-friendly and readable. Children should still be taught gentle cat handling, respect for the cat’s choice to leave, and the rule that cats are living animals, not stuffed toys with opinions.
Can I use CatDaily images or content?
See the License page for use rules. The short version: CatDaily.com content, characters, images, and writing should not be copied, republished, or commercially reused without permission.
What is the most important cat-care rule?
Know your cat’s normal. Appetite, thirst, litter-box habits, energy, grooming, weight, breathing, mobility, mood, and routine all create a baseline. Sudden changes from normal are often the first clue that something needs attention.
What should I do if my cat seems sick?
Contact a licensed veterinarian. CatDaily can help you think about clues to report, but a real medical concern belongs with a real veterinary professional.
