Health and Safety Review Policy

Health policy

Health and safety pages prepare readers; they do not diagnose cats.

Medical Boundary

CatWorldly cannot examine a cat, diagnose a condition or replace a qualified veterinarian. Urgent, painful, sudden or fast-changing symptoms belong with a veterinarian or emergency clinic.

Review Status

Health pages show author, editorial review, veterinary review status, last updated date, emergency escalation language, source links and what the article can and cannot do. If no veterinarian has reviewed a page, the page says Not veterinary reviewed and presents that as medical review pending.

Country-Neutral Language

Vaccines, parasite prevention, legal requirements and veterinary access vary by region. CatWorldly should use country-neutral wording unless a page is explicitly location-specific.
