Editorial Policy

The editorial policy of catsandcouches defines the standards for all published content. The site will publish factual reference material and reporting on the domestic cat, focusing on its breed, its behaviour, and the indoor life it actually lives. It will not publish content related to betting, gambling, or fantasy sports. It will not invent quotes or scenarios. It will not present health, legal, or financial advice as instructional guidance, and it will not publish details about the private lives of individuals, including cat owners, breeders, or public figures.

A clear separation is maintained between reporting and reference material. The News section contains timely articles on developments in feline science, welfare, or relevant product recalls. All other sections, such as Behaviour, Breeds, and Health, consist of evergreen reference pages built from established, verifiable information. These reference pages are updated as consensus understanding evolves, but are not presented as news.

When a claim cannot be independently verified through authoritative sources, such as veterinary bodies, academic research, or major welfare organisations, it is not published. Anecdotal observations are not presented as fact. If a topic involves legitimate but unproven perspectives, this lack of scientific consensus will be clearly stated within the relevant reference page.

All images are chosen for their illustrative and factual value. A real photograph is always used where one exists, credited to its source. The site will never use a software-generated image depicting a real person's face. Diagrams or general illustrative graphics will be clearly identified as such.

Readers with questions, corrections, or suggestions regarding editorial content are invited to write to the editorial team for consideration. Correspondence should be directed to the published contact address for the site, catsandcouches.
