What is your cat telling you?
Six things owners email us about, what the cat means by it, and where to start. Health changes are a vet visit first; the rest is environment.
ScratchShe shreds the sofa
Scratching is normal, not naughty. Cats scratch where they already scratch, so put a better surface right there: rope for the upward stretchers, felt or cardboard for the sideways ones.
Shop scratchers
HuntHe is bored out of his mind indoors
An indoor cat still needs the stalk, chase, catch, kill sequence. Toys that roll, rattle and hide food give it back, five minutes at a time, and a wand session finishes it properly.
Shop toys
Hide and restShe vanishes when guests arrive
Hiding is how cats cope. A covered cave with one entrance beats under the bed, and it means you know where she is. Put it somewhere quiet and leave it alone.
Shop caves
ClimbHe climbs everything
Height is safety to a cat. Give it back on purpose: a tower or perch above the room, near a window, and the top of the fridge loses its appeal.
Shop trees and towers
HuntShe is alone all day
Solo-play toys work without a human on the other end. Rotate two so neither goes stale, and hide a few kibbles in one so lunch takes effort.
Shop solo-play toys
EverydayThe litter tray wins every argument
Most tray problems are location, cleanliness or a litter the cat did not choose. Change one thing at a time. A sudden change in toileting is a vet visit, not a shopping trip.

Kittens, adults and seniors want different things from the same room.

KittenSmall, light and supervised
Toys they can carry, a cave they can get into, and a scratching post before the sofa teaches them the alternative. Feathers and string are for play with you, then put away.

AdultA post, a perch and a job
A proper full-height scratching post, somewhere to be above the room, and a solo-play toy for the hours you are out. Rotate toys weekly; a bored adult cat invents hobbies you will not like.
Shop scratchers -
SeniorLow entry, firm base, gentler play
A bed with a low step-in and a firm base, a scratcher that does not wobble, and shorter, slower play. Stiffness, hiding, or missing the tray are a vet visit first; the right bed comes second.

Two layers on top of the microchip.
A microchip only works once a cat is at a vet or a shelter. A Smart ID Tag works on the street, and a GPS tracker works before anyone finds her at all. Both live in the Ask A Vet app.
Know before you buy: the Smart ID Tag has no live location. The GPS tracker needs charge, mobile coverage and a paid Ask A Vet Tracker Plan; activity and rest data are information, not a diagnosis. Neither replaces a registered microchip.

CAT PRODUCT BUYING GUIDE
How to choose cat gear around real behaviour.
Use these short guides to compare intended use, size, footprint, construction and care. For health, pain, mobility or behaviour concerns, speak with your own veterinarian.
SCRATCHING
Choosing a cat scratcher that actually gets used
Match the surface and the angle to how your cat already scratches. Rope, felt and cardboard all suit different cats, and placement matters as much as the product.
Before you buy, check
- Choose a height that lets your cat stretch fully.
- Put it where the scratching already happens.
- Check the base weight so it does not tip mid-scratch.
BUSY MINDS
Choosing cat toys and enrichment
Enrichment can involve stalking, chasing, batting, foraging or problem-solving. Begin with an easy challenge and use part of your cat's normal food allowance.
Before you buy, check
- Choose an activity that suits your cat's play style.
- Supervise and put wand toys away after the session.
- Clean and dry products according to their care instructions.
HEIGHT
Choosing a cat tree, tower or perch
Cats use height to feel safe as much as to play. Measure the floor space first, then compare perch sizes, stability and how a cat gets from one level to the next.
Before you buy, check
- Check the footprint against the space you actually have.
- Compare perch size against your cat's body length.
- Look for step spacing an older cat can still manage.
REST & COMFORT
Choosing a cat bed or covered cave
Some cats curl, some sprawl and some only sleep where they cannot be seen. Compare the usable sleeping area, entry height, base stability and cover care.
Before you buy, check
- Measure your cat in a natural sleeping position.
- Cats that curl often prefer a defined supported edge.
- Cats that hide usually settle faster in a covered cave.
- Consider lower entry for cats with reduced mobility.
- Follow the washing and care instructions.
SAFER TRACKING
Smart ID tags, GPS trackers and microchips
These tools serve different purposes. A microchip supports permanent identification, a Smart ID tag lets a finder access chosen details, and a powered GPS device can provide live location when coverage and a plan are active.
Before you buy, check
- Keep microchip and profile details current.
- Check device coverage, charging and plan terms.
- Use visible identification alongside permanent identification.
Cat advice
Cat advice from Dr Duncan Houston.
Practical guides on scratching, play and sleep. Health worries still belong with your own vet.
Meet Dr Duncan Houston
An emergency vet, a Ragdoll called Gary, and a brand built around what they both know about cats.
I see cats at their worst hour: the blocked tom at 3 am, the old cat who quietly stopped climbing and nobody noticed, the kitten who ate the string off the wand toy. Most of what comes through the emergency door is normal cat behaviour meeting the wrong environment. PURRZ™ is my attempt to fix the environment: scratching surfaces cats will actually use, caves that give a shy cat a better option than under the bed, toys that finish the hunt, and beds an old cat can get into. Gary tests all of it. He is a Ragdoll, he is leash trained, he comes to the clinic with me, and if he ignores a product it does not go on sale.

Instinct first. Decor second.
Four things we will always tell you before you buy, because a returned scratcher is a cat who went back to the sofa.
-
Placement before looks
A scratcher only works where the cat already scratches. Measure the spot and the footprint before you choose a finish.
-
Sturdy is not indestructible
Choose the size and material for your cat, supervise vigorous play, and retire anything that splits or sheds pieces small enough to swallow.
-
Comfortable is not treatment
A bed can make an old cat's day easier. It does not diagnose or treat anything. New stiffness, hiding or tray changes are a vet visit.
-
Know the ongoing costs
Covers wash, feathers wear out, and a GPS tracker needs a plan. We say so on the product page, not in the fine print.
Questions cat people ask before they buy.
Short answers from the vet who designs the range. Health questions go to your own vet, or a certified vet in the Ask A Vet app.
Will a scratcher actually stop my cat scratching the sofa?
Only if it is where the sofa is. Cats scratch to mark and to stretch, in the places they already use, so a post next to the sofa arm works and one across the room does not. Match the direction too: upright rope for cats that stretch up, flat felt or cardboard for cats that scratch sideways. Then make the sofa less appealing for a few weeks.
How do I know which size cave or bed to buy?
Measure your cat curled up and stretched out, then check the inner dimensions on the product page; caves should be snug, beds should not. If you are between sizes, email a photo, the breed and the weight to hello@purrz.com and a person will tell you which one to order.
Are the toys safe to leave out?
The solo-play toys (Boulder, High Roller Dice, Puzzle Pal) are built to be left out. Wands, feathers and anything on a string are for play with you and then put away: swallowed string is one of the most serious emergencies we see in cats.
My older cat has stopped jumping up. Which bed?
First, a vet visit, because a cat that stops jumping usually hurts somewhere and cats hide pain well. Then a bed with a low entry and a firm base, on the floor or a low step, in the spot she already chooses. A bed makes the day more comfortable; it does not treat the reason she stopped.
Do you ship to me, and how long does it take?
We ship to most countries, tracked, with the cost and estimate shown at checkout before you pay. The shipping policy has the detail, including what happens if a parcel is late or lost.
What if it arrives damaged or my cat ignores it?
Damaged, wrong or faulty is on us: photo, order number, and we replace or refund it under the refund policy. A cat ignoring a new object for a week is normal; put it where she already spends time, rub a little of her own bedding on it, and wait. If it is still wrong after that, write to us and we will do what we can.
Does the GPS tracker work without a subscription?
No. Location and activity need the Ask A Vet Tracker Plan, sold separately, plus charge and mobile coverage. The Smart ID Tag needs none of those, and has no live location; it opens your cat's profile when someone scans it.
Why do PURRZ™ products cost more than the pet shop ones?
Because they are designed around the cat first and the price second: dense paper rope instead of loose sisal that sheds in a week, felt thick enough to hold its shape, bases heavy enough not to tip, and a vet deciding what goes on sale. Every product page says what it is made of and what it is for, so you can compare.
