Who We Are

Meet Our Expert

Every review on MeowPod is written by a certified feline specialist who lives with cats 24/7 — not someone who just reads the spec sheet.

Dr. Sophie Chen

Certified Feline Behavior Consultant & Senior Product Reviewer

Sophie has spent over 12 years working with cats in shelters, veterinary clinics, and her own multi-cat household. A certified feline behavior consultant, she brings a deep understanding of cat psychology and health needs to every review — evaluating water fountains for flow rate and noise levels, feeders for jam-resistance and portion accuracy, and toys for genuine feline engagement. Her guiding principle: if her three cats won't use it, she won't recommend it.
