Meet Moose, the Most Dignified Ring Bearer Ever
When Dee and Nick planned their wedding, they knew one thing for sure—Moose, their beloved cat, had to be part of it. But instead of staying behind the scenes, Moose was given a starring role: ring bearer. And he didn’t just walk down the aisle—he rode in style.
Wearing a custom bow tie, Moose was escorted down the aisle in a flower-covered chariot, looking every bit like feline royalty. His regal demeanor and impeccable posture instantly captured everyone’s attention. The photos quickly went viral, with fans online calling him the “most distinguished guest” and even Photoshopping him with a monocle and mustache.
One viral tweet summed it up perfectly: “Ah. The commoners.” Moose, however, remained unfazed—after all, he was simply fulfilling his duty with the elegance only a cat can manage.
Keep reading for the chance to see Moose at the wedding!


How is Cat Litter Made?
Most cat litter on the market is made from either clay or silica, both of which require environmentally damaging mining processes.
Strip mining, the primary method for extracting sodium bentonite clay, harms ecosystems by removing topsoil, destroying habitats, and polluting waterways. Silica-based litters also require intensive energy to produce, contributing to carbon emissions.
Once used, cat litter ends up in landfills, where clay-based litter does not decompose. Traditional litter is not biodegradable and can take decades to break down, adding to the growing waste crisis. Silica-based litters also remains in landfills indefinitely.
Fortunately, there are eco-friendly alternatives to traditional litter. Plant-based options offer biodegradable solutions that reduce landfill waste and mining impact.

5 Billion Pounds of Cat Litter Ends Up in Landfills Each Year
Most traditional cat litters are made from strip-mined clay or silica. Both end up in landfills when thrown away and are not biodegradable.
A new natural cat litter called Tailfeather is changing this with their eco-friendly, plant-based, clumping cat litter made from coconut and cassava.
Why coconut? The husk of the coconut absorbs liquid up to 9 times its weight! This makes for a soft, luxurious litter that cats love and is 70% lighter than traditional litter, but also doesn't track and bounce out of the box.
It's fully biodegradable and 100% plastic-free, including the packaging. Tailfeather is delivered conveniently to your door, and each package lasts for 8 weeks, double the amount of other litters.

The Truth About Orange Cat Stereotypes
If you’ve spent any time online, you’ve probably seen people talking about “orange cat behavior.” From silly antics to big personalities, these felines have a reputation for being more mischievous, playful, and sometimes downright chaotic. But is there any science behind it?
While orange cats do seem to have a certain charm, experts say their color doesn’t determine their personality. What actually shapes their behavior is a mix of genetics, environment, and life experiences. Interestingly, about 80% of orange cats are male due to genetics, which could contribute to their bold and social nature.
The truth is, every cat—orange or not—has a unique personality. Some may be cuddle bugs, others might be troublemakers, and plenty fall somewhere in between. So while the internet loves a good stereotype, your orange cat is just being, well, a cat.
Have you had any chaotic run-ins with an orange cat? We’d love to know!
