Gear reviews
CatWorldly gear pages label evidence before making product claims.
Evidence Labels
Gear pages use specification guide, research-based comparison, editorial selection or hands-on tested. Hands-on tested appears only when CatWorldly actually tests the product.
Standard Evidence Box
Product and category pages should show evidence label, hands-on tested status, best for, avoid if, safety notes, cleaning notes, size notes, price/date observed when store snapshots are discussed and affiliate disclosure near monetized links.
Monetization Boundary
Affiliate links can be added later, but they must be disclosed near monetized links and cannot change the evidence label or safety guidance.
Reader-First Criteria
A useful gear page should answer whether the item fits the cat, fits the room, can be cleaned, stays stable, has clear size limits and solves a real household job. Novelty, cute photos and store popularity are not enough by themselves.
Avoid-If Logic
CatWorldly gear pages should include avoid-if notes when a product may be wrong for a large cat, senior cat, anxious cat, multi-cat home, small apartment, messy eater or household that cannot clean it often enough.
Change Control
When a product page changes evidence label, affiliate status, testing status or safety language, the page should be rechecked and updated visibly if the change affects reader decisions.
