Editorial standard
Show the evidence level.
A useful cat-care buying guide should tell you what was measured, what was calculated, what came from a manufacturer, and what has not been tested.
Our four labels
| Label | What it means | What it does not mean |
|---|---|---|
| Measured input | A dimension or cost entered by the reader. | We did not visit or verify the room. |
| Calculated | A result produced from visible inputs and a stated formula. | It is not a guarantee that every product will fit. |
| Manufacturer spec | A dimension, material or price published by a brand or retailer. | It is not independent performance testing. |
| Hands-on tested | A product we personally used under a documented method. | This label is not used during the zero-budget phase. |
Images
The room scenes on this site are AI-generated editorial planning visuals. They help explain layout, but they do not prove a pictured product's performance, dimensions or availability. Brand-identifiable products and logos are intentionally avoided.
Corrections and updates
Prices, inventory, program terms and manufacturer specifications can change. A purchase decision should use the seller's current page as the final source. Material errors should be corrected in the page, not hidden behind a new article.
Commercial boundary
The zero-budget version does not accept paid placement and does not present an untested product as a personal recommendation. Amazon affiliate links are identified as paid links, and the commercial relationship is stated on the disclosure page and in the site footer.
