It's Friday, the weekend is almost here... so tell us, which cat are you today? 👀

😴 Sleeping all day – You'd happily spend the next 48 hours napping in a sunny spot.
😒 Unamused and grumpy – No meetings, no emails, no eye contact, please.
🏃 Zoomies at 3am – Full of energy and ready to tackle absolutely everything.
🍗 Wanting to eat anything and everything in sight – Is it lunch yet? Or second lunch? Or treats?

Drop your emoji in the comments and let us know which one sums up your Friday best! 🐱👇

MYTH vs FACT 🐱

A wagging tail means a happy cat and doesn’t mean anything else - is this a myth or a fact? ❌✅

The answer is.... ❌ MYTH ❌

Unlike dogs, a cat's swishing or flicking tail can often mean they're feeling excited, happy, overstimulated or even a little irritated. A slow, gentle wave might show they're focused on something, while a fast thump or lash is usually a sign to give them a bit of space.

The best way to understand how your cat is feeling is to look at them as a whole. Their ears, eyes, body posture and tail all work together to tell you how they're feeling.

Every cat is unique, and learning their body language is a great way to build trust and strengthen your bond! 💜

Each year, the Supreme Cat Show brings together hundreds of passionate exhibitors, all hoping their beloved cats might take home one of the highest honours in the feline world. While many dream of hearing their exhibit’s name called, only a select few experience the magic of becoming a Supreme titleholder.

We sat down with this year’s Supreme winners to talk about their journey, their standout moments, and what winning the Supreme really meant to them.
