Meet the Team!

Together, our diverse experience, enthusiasm, and writing skills mean you have confidence in the information we provide. Here’s a little more about each member of our cat-loving team!
Matilda Peterson
Matilda has loved cats her whole life! She has been surrounded by cats since childhood, having four cats in her family home growing up. The first family cat was a silver tabby called Milo. When still a kitten, he got into a fight with a neighbor’s cat and sadly lost his eye. A few months later, changes in his behavior saw him going on a trip to the vet who informed the family he has leukemia and needed to be put down.
Although a tragic story, this sparked Matilda’s love for cats. She grew enthusiastic in learning all there is to know to educate herself and others, and to ensure each of our furry friends has access to the best life possible. Shortly after Milo passed away, she got a second cat called Poppy. Poppy had two beautiful litters of kittens and a long life before peacefully passing away. Two more cats – a brother and sister from the same litter – were then bought who still lives in her family home today! Matilda, having now left home, has adopted a rescue cat called Mouse – part Turkish Van and part Oriental.
Having been lucky enough to be surrounded by cats since before she could walk, Matilda has experienced nearly all there is to know about these precious creatures. From illness and pregnancy to moving home and having multiple cats at once, she’s done it all! As part of her mission to educate others, she has been writing about cats for the past ten years, having been with MrBossCat for the past six months. Her experience and passion shine through in her writing, creating helpful and engaging pieces that our readers love!
Catherine Howard
Catherine is our big cat expert. She owns an 11-year-old Maine Coon mixed breed called Tikka who weighs a whopping 20lbs! Owning this big boy means Catherine has faced all the possible problems common for owners of large cats. From having troubles finding litter boxes and cat trees suitable for such a large cat to developing common Maine Coon health issues as he’s aged, anyone with a bigger breed will benefit from her knowledge.
Alongside her first-hand experience with looking after Tikka for the past decade, Catherine’s also got the qualifications to match. She has a degree in animal behavior which she put to good use when volunteering at her local cat sanctuary. She left her position here helping rehome cats three years ago but has been continuing to help pet owners through her writing. Much of her writing at MrBossCat is focused on animal welfare and behavior. To keep on top of her knowledge, Catherine also attends regular education courses to bring the most up-to-date and accurate information to readers – something she feels extremely passionate about.
Jason Barnes
If you own more than one kitty, you probably already know it can be a handful – our writer Jason sure does! Jason has been writing for MrBossCat for the past two years, and he is our expert on owning more than one cat. He currently has three pet cats of his own living in his LA apartment. From feeding cats multiple diets to the correct litter tray set up if you’re living with more than one furry friend, he’s mastered effective solutions through his years of hands-on experience.
Funnily enough, Jason never used to be a cat guy – he was team dog for most of his life. However, having gone traveling to South Africa and volunteering in a big cat sanctuary, he was mesmerized by these majestic creatures. He realized he was in fact team cat at heart! On returning home, he bought a Bengal cat from a local breeder and his passion for these animals has snowballed. Today, he’s the parent of three gorgeous felines, Aldo, Bella, and Bear. If you too own more than one furry friend, wave your questions and queries goodbye – his content will be right up your street!
Expertly Researched Content
You can’t take pet advice from simply anyone! Many websites on the internet don’t have enough knowledge to be dishing out care information and advice. Their writers have no first-hand experience of looking after cats and no real research is done around the topic. We also know it can be difficult trying to distinguish between true and false information, which is why we make this easy.
At MrBossCat, we promise to only write expertly researched content. All of our writers have been carefully selected for their experience in caring for cats. On top of this, all of the information in our articles is:
- Research checked to ensure that all of the information is accurate and trustworthy. As a cat owner, you want to know you can trust the advice you’re using to offer the best for your kitty!
- Based on personal experience so our writers truly understand the concerns that pet parents have. This deeper level of empathy ensures your questions get answered.
- Written by accredited writers who have years of experience in creating pet-related content. This ensures you’re given engaging content that’s enjoyable to read.
- Assigned to the member of our team whose experience and specialties are most aligned with the topic in question. This means you’re guaranteed the best answer possible.
- Backed up by first-hand testing where possible with product reviews to ensure the content is accurate. This is combined with online reviews to ensure a well-rounded view of each product.
While we do our best to offer accurate advice and hope this research process fills you with confidence, we also appreciate all feedback.
