How product guides are written
Product guides on Cat Costs UK are designed to compare product types and buying considerations, not to pretend every item has been personally tested. Unless a guide clearly says otherwise, products have not been hands-on tested by Cat Costs UK.
Guides focus on practical factors that matter to cat owners, such as size, safety, cleaning, comfort, durability, suitability for indoor cats, space needed, ongoing costs and value for money.
Readers should always check current product details, dimensions, delivery information, return policies and customer feedback before buying, as prices and availability can change.
