Niche

Cat care and clean-home tips from a retired shelter cat-room worker

Audience

Cat owners, likely older ones, who want a cleaner house and calmer cats: litter, smell, hair and leaving cats alone (inferred from titles, the about text and the large-print book offer in every description).

Format

One household cat problem per video, walked through as a numbered list of 7 or 8 mistakes or changes, each followed by what she does instead; long-form, about 14 to 19 minutes.
