Cats — behavior, indoor life, care, the cat-human relationship
Brooklyn, NY
Indie Wren writes the cat content for PawsGuides — behavior, indoor enrichment, daily care, and the slightly absurd reality of living with cats. They live with three cats of very different personalities and have spent years reading cat behavior research, watching their own cats invalidate it, and writing about both. Their work is affectionate without being sappy and respectful of cats as the small wild predators they sort of still are. Based in Brooklyn.
What Indie covers
- Cat behavior explainers (territory, vocalizations, body language)
- Indoor enrichment (toys, climbing, environmental design)
- Cat-specific food, litter, and supply reviews
- Multi-cat household guidance
