CatsMed Team
CatsMed Team is CatsMed’s editorial team.
The CatsMed Team researches and writes every guide and tool on the site. We work from the references vets use: the Cornell Feline Health Center, the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP), International Cat Care (iCatCare), the Merck Veterinary Manual, ASPCA Animal Poison Control and peer-reviewed studies. Every page lists its sources, and we update pages when guidance changes.
Not every guide has been reviewed by a veterinarian: the ones that have say so at the bottom and name the reviewer. None of them replaces a vet. If your cat is unwell, call your vet.
