Welcome to Meow Tales — Cat News, Stories and Breed Guides, Done Properly

Welcome to Meow Tales.

We’re a small, independent publication for people who genuinely like cats — the moody ones, the lap-warming ones, the ones who knock things off shelves at 3am, and the ones quietly looking for a forever home from a rescue centre. The plan is simple: write about cats in a way that takes them seriously, gets the facts right, and never confuses “clickable” with “true.”

What you’ll find here

A few things, in roughly this order:

• Cat news: things happening in the world of cats that we think you’d actually want to know about — rescue charity updates, policy changes that affect cat owners, science worth knowing.
• Cat stories: the bits that make the internet good. Rescue adoptions, community cats, cats who’ve quietly changed someone’s life.
• Breed guides: a growing A–Z directory of cat breeds, with honest notes on temperament, care needs and whether a breed is a sensible fit for your home. We say “may not suit” as well as “great with” — kindness to a cat starts with not bringing them into the wrong household.
• Care, behaviour and health explainers: written by people who’ve lived with cats and reviewed against guidance from veterinary bodies and feline-behaviour specialists. Not a substitute for your vet, but a reasonable second opinion.

How we write things

A few quiet promises:

1. We don’t invent facts. If we don’t have a source we trust, we leave the claim out — or say plainly that something is anecdotal.
2. Welfare first. If a piece of common advice is bad for cats, we’ll say so, even if it’s popular.
3. No clickbait headlines. You’ll never find “You won’t believe what this cat did next” here.
4. Corrections, openly. If we get something wrong, we’ll fix it and note what changed. Our corrections policy spells out how.
5. No paid recommendations dressed up as editorial. Affiliate or sponsored content, if it ever appears, is labelled clearly.

Who we are

The team is small, and so is our ego about it. We’re writers, editors and fact-checkers who’ve worked with rescue charities, lived with a lot of cats, and care about the welfare-first stuff that doesn’t always make it into mainstream cat coverage.

If you’ve got a rescue story you’d like to share, spotted a mistake, or just want to chat about something we’ve published — please drop us a line. And if you fancy occasional emails about cat behaviour, breed guides and the rare bit of good cat news, our newsletter is free and unsubscribe-with-one-click.

Thanks for reading. Now go give your cat a chin scratch.
