True or False?

A cat showing you their belly is always an invitation to pet them.

Sip & Purr is a Milwaukee cat café with a mission: giving adoptable cats a comfortable place to land while they wait for their forever homes. Partnering with local shelters and rescues, the café houses cats on-site so visitors can meet them in a relaxed, home-like setting rather than a kennel.

Guests can enjoy coffee or other drinks while spending time with the cats, who roam a lounge filled with toys, tunnels, climbing spots, and sunny nap zones. It’s the kind of environment where personalities shine, whether that’s an energetic explorer like Katerina or a calm observer like Blackberry, a sleek black cat who prefers watching the room before stepping into the spotlight.

Sip & Purr also stands out nationally. It’s the only cat café in the U.S. that routinely accepts international at-risk cats into its adoption program, expanding its impact far beyond Milwaukee. Every visit supports rescue efforts, and every hangout could lead to a happily-ever-after.

Pet insurance is designed to help cover unexpected veterinary costs, making it easier to say yes to care when your cat needs it most. Most plans work on a reimbursement model, meaning you pay the vet upfront and submit a claim to get a portion of the bill back.

The most common option is accident and illness coverage, which can help with emergencies, surgeries, diagnostic tests, and treatment for infections or chronic conditions. Wellness care, like vaccines and routine exams, is often offered as a separate add-on rather than standard coverage.

Policies usually include a deductible and a reimbursement percentage, often between 70% and 90%, after that deductible is met. Waiting periods are also common, so coverage doesn’t start immediately.

Pet insurance won’t cover pre-existing conditions, and limits may apply for certain treatments. Understanding those details ahead of time can help avoid surprises later, especially when decisions matter most.

“New Year, New Me” sounds great until your cat decides to test gravity from the top of the bookshelf. This new year, be prepared for any way your cat tries to reinvent themselves.

With free accident and illness coverage included in the Nibbles pet rewards credit card, you can be ready for anything. You also get 3x rewards back at the vet and at pet stores, so you can make next year the best yet with extra treats and more cat towers in their future.

Get the card that every cat wants for all their acrobatics.

Nibbles is not a bank. The Nibbles card is issued by Lead Bank. Fees and T&C apply. Eligibility rules apply.

That big stretch your cat does when you walk in the door isn’t random; it’s communication. Cats often stretch as a way to greet their favorite humans, signaling they’re ready for attention, play, or interaction. It’s one of their quieter but more expressive hello rituals.

Stretching also helps cats wake their bodies up. Since cats can sleep up to 16 hours a day, a long stretch boosts circulation and loosens muscles and joints after a nap. Seeing you may simply trigger that transition from rest to activity.

In some cases, stretching is a sign of trust. When cats fully extend their bodies, they’re momentarily vulnerable, which means they feel safe around you. Stretching can also double as subtle scent-marking, thanks to scent glands in their paws.

In short, that stretch is part greeting, part warm-up, and part love language, one that says your cat feels comfortable, secure, and happy you’re home.

From subtle happiness clues to a dream cat-filled escape, here’s what’s trending this week:

• 🐾 That unusual fur pattern might actually mean your cat is happy

• 💸 This credit card actually saves you money on vet bills and pet purchases

• 🏡 Cat spends a weekend at the grandparents’ house and completely settles in

• 🏝️ You can get paid to live on a Greek island with dozens of cats

Pet emergencies don’t always come with warning. With free pet insurance included, the Nibbles Credit Card offers a little extra peace of mind for cat parents.

Explore your options.

Daily Purr is brought to you with love from our cats. We hope they can brighten your day, just like they do ours. ❤️

Love,

Olive, Milo, and Yasmine.

🧐 True or False: False. While showing their belly can indicate trust, it doesn’t always mean they want to be touched.
