As spring awakens gardens and balconies with new life, it is the perfect time to explore a plant that brings a unique kind of joy to our feline companions. Catnip may seem like simple fun, but behind its playful charm lies a fascinating natural history and a powerful biological connection. In this article, we look at the ancient roots of catnip, the science behind how it affects cats, and why not all cats respond the same way. From evolutionary links with wild cats to the role of the Jacobson’s organ, and from fresh garden pots to pure dried leaves, we celebrate the season by reconnecting with nature. Catnip is more than a treat. It is a reminder that cats are seasonal creatures too, and that their well-being thrives on natural rhythms.

Cats do not just eat based on instinct. Their appetite is influenced by nature. Seasonal changes, daylight, hormones, and even the full moon all play a role in shaping how and when cats eat. Understanding these natural rhythms can help you support your cat’s well-being throughout the year.

Chronic kidney disease is one of the leading health concerns in older cats. Understand what kidneys do, how kidney disease develops, and how a renal care diet can help manage your cat’s long-term health.

We are often asked why we don’t show the carbohydrate content of our food. The answer is simple: our products are made from meat and contain little to no carbs. Learn how to interpret labels, understand nutrient calculators, and choose what is best for your cat.

A plant-based diet may suit humans, but for cats it can cause serious health problems. Learn why a biologically appropriate diet for cats must be based entirely on meat.

Raw feeding can be beneficial for cats, but not all raw meat is created equal. Learn why EU-certified meat is essential for your cat’s safety and what risks come with retail-bought raw meat.

Many people believe cats love and need milk, but most cats are lactose intolerant. This article explains why cow’s milk is not healthy for cats and what better alternatives exist.

From the primordial hunters of millions of years ago to the curled-up companion on your sofa today, cats have carried their wild nature with them through every stage of evolution. Their instincts, behaviours, and even their teeth tell the story of skilled predators built for meat-only diets. Discover how cats became the animals we know and love, why they remain obligate carnivores, and how understanding their origins can help us care for them better.

B.A.R.F. diets aim to mimic what cats eat in the wild, but they also carry serious risks. Discover what you need to know about raw feeding and how to do it safely – or consider a safer alternative.
