September is in full swing, which means it’s officially National Cat Month. This is a time to celebrate everything we love about our feline friends.

Cats are famously independent, making them a great fit for busy households or small spaces. They’re low-maintenance yet full of personality, equally happy to entertain themselves or curl up on your lap for a nap.

Many cats are also affectionate companions, forming strong bonds and offering soothing purrs that can help melt away stress. Plus, their natural hunting instincts mean they’ve been pest control experts for centuries.

With their adaptability, eco-friendly pawprint, and charm, cats bring joy to homes of every size. So, this month, give your whiskered sidekick an extra treat (or a longer cuddle session) in honor of all the love they bring.

September is National Cat Month, and with Neighborhood Pet Store Day on the 27th, it’s the perfect time to support independent retailers who curate nutrition options that fuel your cat’s full potential.

Meet Maverick, an adventurous surfer cat who is confident, agile, and always ready for the next adventure. Whether he’s mastering new tricks or simply perfecting his morning stretch routine, Maverick represents what’s possible when cats receive premium nutrition like Nulo.

Neighborhood pet stores trust Nulo for their science-backed recipes. From FreeStyle Kibble to Silky Mousse and Perfect Puree treats, their premium options deliver high animal-based proteins and low carbs that support sustained energy, lean muscle, and sharp reflexes. 

This September, find out why local expertise matters. Browse indie-exclusive favorites (and some of Maverick’s, too!) and see how the right nutrition transforms daily life for cats who were born to move, hunt, and thrive.

Meet Benjamin, Judi’s stunning 2-year-old Maine Coon! With his soft red tabby-and-white coat and golden eyes, he’s as regal as he is lovable.

Despite weighing in at an impressive 23 pounds, Benjamin is a gentle giant who loves to play and soak up attention. His playful spirit keeps life lively, and his affectionate nature makes him the perfect companion.

Benjamin proves that even the biggest cats can be the sweetest cuddle bugs.

Ask any cat lover and you’ll hear a range of answers to the age-old question: how many cats is too many? For some, three feels like a full house. For others, there’s always room for “just one more.”

Veterinarians agree there isn’t a magic number. Dr. Ezra Ameis says the real question is whether your cats are healthy, cared for, and happy. Multiple litter boxes, fresh food, and enough space are essentials. Without them, stress and conflict can build quickly.

Behavior experts also note that your home itself sets the limit. A roomy house with quiet corners might fit several cats, while a studio apartment could feel cramped with even two. Signs you’ve hit your limit include fighting, spraying, or cats avoiding each other.

Ultimately, it comes down to quality of life for both cats and humans. If everyone has space, resources, and affection, your number might be “just right.”

From sweet goodbyes to double adoptions, here’s what’s trending this week:

• ⏰ Senior cat and tiny kitten team up to scold mom for late dinner
