True or False?

Most cats hide signs of illness until the condition is advanced.

(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!)

When Jade’s orange tabby, Cheeto, went missing, she searched everywhere but eventually had to let go of hope. Four years passed, until one morning, she heard a familiar cry outside her door.

There he was. Cheeto had returned home.

Thinner and weathered, but unmistakably himself, he meowed until Jade opened the door. After years apart, he still remembered exactly where he belonged.

No one knows where Cheeto spent his missing years, but one thing was clear: through everything, he never forgot his home or the person who once loved him.

Cheeto’s story is a quiet miracle, a reminder that even after years apart, some bonds never fade.

Taking your cat to the vet isn’t always easy, especially if you’ve ever tried to coax a suspicious feline into a carrier. But a new study from the University of California, Davis, suggests that staying home might actually help cats with chronic health issues.

Through video consultations, veterinarians were able to observe cats in their natural environment, spotting mobility and joint problems that might go unnoticed in the clinic. Owners, in turn, gained confidence managing conditions like arthritis and became better at recognizing subtle signs of pain.

While telehealth won’t replace hands-on exams, it may help fill the gaps between visits, especially for older cats or those stressed by travel. And for the millions of cat parents juggling care and convenience, that’s welcome news indeed.

Move over, dog shows. Cats have been quietly perfecting the art of competition for over 150 years. At modern cat shows, hundreds of felines, from sleek Siamese to majestic Maine Coons, compete for ribbons, trophies, and the coveted title of “Best in Show”.

Judges evaluate cats not for tricks or obedience, but for how closely they match their breed’s “ideal” standard, right down to eye color, ear shape, and temperament. Some shows even have a “household pet” class, where mixed-breed cats are celebrated for personality and charm alone.

The atmosphere is part glamour, part chaos: decorated cages, proud owners, and the occasional cat escape. Whether you dream of showing your own feline or just want to marvel at their beauty, a cat show is a celebration of feline grace, personality, and pure cattitude.

Your home is often your biggest asset, but protecting it now costs more than ever. Homeowners across the U.S. are facing a surge in insurance rates, with some states seeing a 76% rise over the last 6 years. Comparing quotes, bundling home and auto, improving home security, or proactively reinforcing against weather can all help cut costs.

Why the spike?

• Higher claim payouts

• inflation in labor and material costs

• Increased climate-driven disasters

Compare Money’s top home insurance companies and see if switching before your renewal could save you hundreds (or even thousands) this year.
