True or False?

A cat’s brain is more similar to a dog’s than a human’s.

Introducing Leo, the Cat Who Walks Kids to the Bus

Leo isn’t just a pet—he’s a dedicated guardian. Living on a farm in Canada, this fluffy protector makes sure his two little humans get to school safely, no matter the weather. Snow, wind, or freezing temperatures won’t stop him from his daily routine.

Every morning, Leo walks with his kids down the road, waiting patiently until they board the school bus. He doesn’t linger once they’re off—his job is done, and it’s time to head home for a well-earned nap. His family says he’s out there every single morning, like clockwork.

Leo’s commitment has made him a local star, with videos of his bus-stop duty capturing hearts online. It’s not every day you see a cat so dedicated to his humans' schedules. After his morning duty, he spends most of his day curled up inside—because even the hardest-working cats need their rest.

Would your cat ever do this, or are they more of a ā€œwatch from the windowā€ type?

5 Billion Pounds of Clay and Silica Are Mined Each Year…

…just to make cat litter. Most traditional cat litters are made from strip-mined bentonite clay or silica gel, leading to habitat destruction, soil erosion, and water pollution. 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.

Are Tuxedo Cats the Einsteins of the Feline World?

Tuxedo cats have long been admired for their sleek, formal coats, but are they also the intellectuals of the feline world? According to internet lore, these dapper cats might have a cognitive edge over their less-fashionable peers. But is there any truth to the claim?

Despite their reputation, there’s no scientific evidence that tuxedo cats are more intelligent than other cats. Feline behavior expert Stephen Quandt explains that intelligence isn’t linked to coat color—it’s influenced by genetics, environment, and socialization. The idea that tuxedo cats are smarter likely started online and spread as a fun internet myth.

That said, tuxedo cats can be highly social, curious, and playful—traits often mistaken for intelligence. But just like with any cat, personality varies. Some tuxies may be quick learners, while others are more laid-back.

At the end of the day, every cat is unique, no matter their coat pattern. Whether your tuxedo cat is a brainiac or just exceptionally good at looking fancy, they’re perfect just the way they are.
