Daily Cat Care

Cat Food

Marro is my favourite cat food brand and not just because the cats love it! Their meals are fresh, balanced, and designed to keep our cats healthy long term. They run on a handy subscription model, which means no last minute dashes to the shop and no running out of food (a lifesaver in my house).If you’d like to give Marro a try, my link below gets you a massive 40% off your first two boxes...the perfect excuse to see why I recommend them so highly!

Eating & Drinking

Hydration and mealtime enrichment are two of the easiest ways to support your cat’s health every single day. I’ve put together a selection of products we genuinely recommend to make eating and drinking a little more exciting (and a lot more beneficial).You’ll find a couple of water fountains in the list – the PetGugu fountain is a fantastic option if you want extra features like an app and a generous water capacity. I’ve also included a more budget-friendly choice that still performs really well, so there’s something for every household.We’ve also linked a few of our favourite slow feeders to help your cat slow down during meals, reduce boredom, and support healthy digestion. Whether you're building the perfect feeding setup or just looking to upgrade your cat’s bowl, I hope this section gives you a solid place to start!

Grooming

I use different grooming products for Harvey and the short-haired cats, but these are the brushes I’ve found work best across the board! The link takes you to my Amazon storefront where you can check them out. Furminator offers different options for long and short hair, so you can pick what’s right for your cat. And if you’re after something a little different, the Cat Zoom Groom is an excellent choice — it’s gentle, easy to use, and honestly removes a surprising amount of fur!

Training & Enrichment

Adventure Cat Gear

We’re big fans of Travel Cat when it comes to backpacks and all of our adventure gear! The quality is genuinely impressive, everything feels sturdy, well made, and built to last. I also love the thoughtful design features, like the ventilation, comfort padding, and easy access openings that make outings so much smoother for both me and Harvey. All round, it’s a brand I’d confidently recommend if you’re looking for something that’s practical and comfortable for your cat. Plus, you can grab a nice discount with my link below!

Cat Training & Enrichment games

I’ve put together an Amazon list of our absolute favourite training and enrichment items...all the things we use and love with the cats! If you’re joining my cat training school, I’d say the cups and a clicker are a must-have to get started. I’ve also included some great puzzle feeders to make mealtimes more fun and keep their minds busy. Everything on the list is tried and tested by us, so you can feel confident you’re getting tools that really work.

Cat Towers, Climbing spaces, Beds & Toys

When it comes to creating a fun and enriching environment for our cats, having the right towers, climbing spaces, and toys makes all the difference. Our top picks include FUKUMARU — a brand we genuinely love and use a lot in our own home. Their wall-mounted furniture is a standout, offering brilliant vertical space that lets cats climb, perch, and explore safely. It’s perfect for adding enrichment without taking up valuable floor space, and we’ve found the quality and design to be both sturdy and stylish. A happy cat is an active cat, and these pieces help keep both their body and mind engaged!

Healing & Calm

Health & Wellbeing essentials

I’ve put together a special Amazon list focused on healing and calm, all our favourite cat care essentials to help your cat feel their best. From gentle nail clippers to calming diffusers, these are the products we trust and use with Harvey to create a peaceful, stress-free environment. Whether you’re looking to make grooming easier or support your cat through anxious moments, this list has all the little things that can make a big difference.

Adventure Cat

Tractive

If your cat ever goes exploring, a GPS tracker can be a game-changer, and Tractive is the one I trust. It gives real-time location updates straight to your phone, so you always know where your cat is (or where they’ve been sneaking off to!). You can even set up a “safe zone” and get an alert if they leave it. It’s small, lightweight, and attaches easily to a collar—Harvey wears his every time we go out. It's peace of mind in a tiny box!

Harnesses

If you want something that really feels safe, the Ontigris harness is the one I’d recommend. It’s sturdy, well-made, and gives me real peace of mind when Harvey’s wearing it — I never feel like he’s at risk of slipping out or getting tangled. One of the things I love most is the velcro panel where you can stick on patches, which is such a fun way to add personality (they sell the patches too!). It’s practical, reliable, and honestly the best harnesses we’ve tried.They ship worldwide and don't take too long to arrive!

Talking Buttons

There’s this whole world called AIC, Augmentative Interspecies Communication. It sounds complicated but really it’s just giving your animal a way to communicate back with you in a way we understand.That’s what talking buttons are. Not a gimmick. Actual communication.I didn’t fully get it until Harvey.We started just over two months ago thinking it would be fun enrichment… and he now uses over 35 words, with intention. Not random presses. He’s actually telling me things. It’s completely changed how I see him. He’s not just reacting anymore, he’s participating. He has a voice.From a behaviour point of view, it’s huge. So many “issues” are just frustration or unmet needs, and this removes so much guesswork. We’ve tried a few brands and nothing compares to FluentPet. Clearer sound, more reliable, and they actually hold up to daily use.Yes they’re from the US. Still worth it. Our code "HARVEY" will get you 12% off :)

Freebies! :)

These are downloadable PDF guides filled with tips on training, cat behaviour and everyday cat care. They are designed to be easy to follow and practical to use in real life. I update these regularly with new guides and improvements, so feel free to pop back soon to see what’s new.

Please avoid including sensitive personal information or information about other people in shared posts. If you ask us to use health information to arrange an accessibility adjustment, we will explain the intended use and obtain explicit consent where required, unless another lawful condition applies.3. How and why we use informationWe use personal information for these purposes and on these lawful bases:Process enrolment, provide purchased courses, manage access, respond to course support requests and administer refunds. Lawful basis: Performance of our contract with you, or steps you request before entering a contract.Deliver a free resource you request. Lawful basis: Our legitimate interest in fulfilling your request; any associated marketing is handled separately.Verify course eligibility and assign or remove Discord course access.

You can contact us to object to that use.Some information is needed to process a purchase, identify your account or verify access. If you do not provide it, we may be unable to provide the relevant service. Posting in Discord and sharing training videos are optional.4. Email communicationsWe may send messages needed to deliver your purchase or requested resource, such as access details, receipts and important course updates. These are separate from optional promotional emails.If you choose to receive marketing emails when signing up or purchasing through Teachable, your name, email address and subscription preferences will be passed to Kit to manage your subscription and send those emails. We may use an automated connection between Teachable and Kit for this purpose. Students who do not opt in will not be subscribed to marketing emails through this connection.We use Kit to manage our mailing list and deliver email resources and newsletters. We send optional marketing emails where you have chosen to receive them. Purchasing a course does not, by itself, sign you up to promotional emails. You can unsubscribe using the link in those emails or by contacting [email protected]. This does not cancel necessary messages about an existing purchase.Kit records information about email opens and link clicks and makes this information available to us. These records can be associated with your subscriber profile.Email open tracking uses a small image within the email, and link tracking records interactions with links. We use engagement reports to understand how our emails perform and improve our communications. Our lawful basis for tracking that requires consent is consent. Permission to receive marketing does not, by itself, provide permission for every type of tracking. You can contact us about tracking or withdraw consent at [email protected], and you can unsubscribe from marketing at any time. Your email application may also allow you to block remote images, although this does not prevent every type of link tracking.5. Discord support and course rolesIf you choose to use Discord support, we provide a Discord invite link configured to assign the relevant student role to your Discord account. We use your Discord username or user ID and course access information to manage your role and access to course channels. If the link does not work, you can open a help ticket in our Discord server so that we can check your enrolment and assign the role manually. For this check, we may ask for your enrolment email address or purchase confirmation. Please provide these details through the help ticket rather than posting them in a shared channel. We use the Ticket Tool bot within Discord to create and manage support tickets. This involves processing your Discord account identifiers and the messages or attachments you provide in a ticket. A transcript of the conversation is saved when the ticket is closed, so closing a ticket does not by itself delete the support record. Access to saved transcripts is restricted to Kit and authorised moderators. We delete routine support transcripts under our control 12 months after the ticket closes. Where a record is still needed for an ongoing issue, a legal obligation or a legal claim, we keep the relevant information for as long as necessary for that purpose and then delete it. This retention period is managed through our own deletion process and does not depend on automatic deletion by Ticket Tool. Tickets are handled by Kit or authorised support moderators; they are not necessarily a conversation with Kit alone.Course help channels are restricted to course students, Kit and authorised moderators. Messages, training clips and other content posted in these channels can be seen by those with access. These are shared support spaces, rather than confidential conversations with Kit. Course roles may also indicate that you are a student wherever those roles are visible in Discord. Content posted in the wider server is subject to the access permissions of the channel in which you post.Please treat your course role as potentially visible to other server members viewing your profile or the member list. The restricted access to course help channels does not necessarily hide the role itself. You can contact us if you have concerns about this visibility.Discord processes account and platform information under its own Privacy Policy: https://discord.com/privacy. Contact us about our verification records or role administration; use Discord’s account tools or support for requests relating to its own processing.6. Course support and submitted contentCourse questions and community support are currently provided through Discord. Lesson comments are not currently enabled on Teachable.We use questions and training clips you submit to provide the support you request and to administer the relevant discussion. Shared channel posts can be seen by members with access to that channel. We will ask for separate permission before using identifiable comments, photographs, videos or testimonials in our advertising, public social posts or course materials outside the original support context. You can decline without losing course access.7. Who receives informationWe share information only where needed for the purposes described here, including with:• Teachable, which hosts our school and provides enrolment, learning and checkout functions. Its own use of information is explained in the Teachable Privacy Policy: https://www.teachable.com/legal/privacy-policy.
• Kit, for email subscriptions, resources and communications as described above.
• Discord, when you use community support and course access features, and Ticket Tool when you open a support ticket.
• Carrd, which provides our website.
• IONOS, which provides our [email protected] email inbox and processes enquiries and correspondence sent to or from that address.
• Payment providers involved in your chosen Teachable checkout method, including Stripe, PayPal and, where selected and available, Klarna or Afterpay. If you use Apple Pay or Google Pay, the relevant wallet provider also handles information under its own privacy terms.
• Authorised assistants, moderators and contractors, with access limited to their work and appropriate confidentiality obligations.
• Professional advisers or authorities where necessary for accounting, legal obligations or handling legal claims.We also operate an affiliate programme through Teachable. If you follow a course affiliate link, referral and transaction information may be used by Teachable and made available in affiliate reporting to attribute a sale and calculate commission. We use this information for our legitimate interest in administering the programme; consent requirements for referral cookies are separate. Affiliates do not need access to your course progress, support tickets or training clips to receive commission.We do not sell your personal information.8. International processingSome providers operate internationally. In particular, Carrd, Kit and Discord describe processing in the United States, and Teachable and payment providers may process information in countries outside the UK through their international operations and service providers.Where UK law requires a safeguard for a transfer we make, the applicable arrangement must provide a lawful transfer mechanism. This can include UK adequacy regulations, or approved contractual safeguards with any required additional measures. The arrangement depends on the provider and the particular transfer.Kit’s published Data Processing Addendum incorporates EU Standard Contractual Clauses with the UK Addendum for relevant UK transfers. Teachable’s published Data Processing Agreement provides for a UK International Data Transfer Agreement, available from Teachable on request, for relevant transfers. Discord describes its use of contractual clauses and the UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework in its own privacy policy. These platforms may also process information independently for their own purposes.You can contact [email protected] for information about a particular transfer we make and how to obtain a copy of the relevant safeguards, subject to necessary redactions. The providers’ notices below explain their own international processing:• Carrd Privacy Policy: https://carrd.com/docs/general/privacy

Browser settings can also help manage cookies, but blocking some cookies may affect site functions. Publishing this policy does not itself obtain cookie consent.10. How long we keep informationWe retain information for the period needed for its purpose, taking account of course access, support, legal duties and any relevant dispute. Different types of information may have different retention periods.Routine Discord support transcripts under our control are deleted 12 months after the ticket closes, unless relevant information is still needed for an ongoing issue, legal obligation or legal claim.We delete routine general enquiry emails and training clips saved separately for support 12 months after the relevant enquiry is resolved. If relevant information is still needed for an ongoing issue, legal obligation or legal claim, we retain only what is necessary for that purpose and delete it when no longer needed. This period does not apply to posts in shared course channels or to copies you have separately authorised us to use for another purpose.Course access is ongoing. We keep the account, enrolment and progress information needed to maintain that access while it remains available to you, unless you request deletion and the information can lawfully be removed. Deleting information essential to your account may prevent us from conti
