Somebody in a conference room said the words “what if the litter box had artificial intelligence” out loud, and apparently nobody in that room stopped them. That was my honest first reaction to the Litter-Robot 5 Pro. I have been buying automatic litter...
Twelve weeks. Ten brands. Four cats who have never once considered my feelings. I spent something in the neighborhood of $300 on food that got sniffed and rejected, which is a number I've rounded down for my own mental health. Here's the thing about cat food reviews...
I have bought an embarrassing amount of cat food. Four cats, seventeen years of running this site, and a bad habit of buying the new thing just to see if it is better. Most of it was fine. Some of it was expensive garbage. Life's Abundance is the one that is still on...
I've bought and tested more cat toys than I'll ever admit to my accountant. Fifteen-plus years, four cats, and a garage bin of failures that I keep meaning to donate and never do because half of them are not fit to give another person. Here is what nobody tells you...
I recommend the Litter-Robot 4 constantly. It is $699, it handles my four cats, and it is the best piece of cat equipment I own. And every single time I say that, somebody emails me a version of the same message: cool, Nick, but I do not have $699 for a machine that...

There is a museum in St. Petersburg holding one of the largest art collections on the planet, and roughly fifty cats work there. Not strays hanging around the loading dock. Actual staff. They have paperwork. I went down this rabbit hole a few years ago and never...
You want me to tell you twice a week is fine. I know. I've been running this site since 2009 and this is the single most common question I get, and there is always a hopeful little edge to how people ask it. The real answer is every day. If you have more than two...
I need to say this before anything else: I am a web designer who lives with four cats. I am not a veterinarian, I have never played one on the internet, and nothing on this page is medical advice. What I can tell you is what fifteen-plus years of paying close...
I have lived with cats since 2009 and I currently have four of them. Minnie Mouse, Stripes, Penelope and Luna. Four cats means four completely different dialects of the same language, and the only way I learned to read any of it was by being wrong constantly and...
