Editorial policy

# Trust comes from visible responsibility.

High-risk content should name its region, sources, author, qualified reviewer, review date, and correction pathway. A badge or disclaimer cannot substitute for that chain.

## Safety before behavior

Content involving broken skin, significant injury, infection, tetanus, rabies, or emergency care is separated from cat behavior interpretation and written for a defined region.

## Named review

Published human-health guidance requires a qualified healthcare reviewer. Cat-health guidance requires veterinary review. Reviewer names, credentials, scope, and dates should be visible on the page.

## Source hierarchy

Primary public-health guidance, professional veterinary organizations, and peer-reviewed research are preferred. Secondary summaries may support readability but do not replace primary sources for high-risk claims.

## Corrections

Readers need a monitored contact route. Material corrections should be dated and reflected in the page’s review history.

## Commercial separation

Advertising, sponsorship, affiliate relationships, and product recommendations must be labeled and must not influence safety thresholds or reviewer conclusions.

## Human-led use of generative tools

Gentle Cat Lab uses generative systems to support outlining, interface prototyping, and language simplification. Every published claim remains subject to source verification and editorial accountability; these systems do not replace professional review or image-rights checks.
