About CritterWhy

CritterWhy is a small English-language site about animal behavior and life with dogs and cats. We start from a habit you can see — a lick, a purr, a 5 a.m. wake-up — and then look at what published research actually says, including the limits of that research.

The publisher is Kevin Daniel Baguian Nsue. We do not claim veterinary, medical, or academic credentials that have not been provided here. Nothing on this site is a diagnosis or a treatment plan.

The YouTube channel

The same project lives on YouTube as@CritterWhy. Articles here go further than a video can — sources, caveats, and a written record — and point back to the videos when a matching one exists.

The household

The drawings are original 2.5D art made for CritterWhy. Nora is the person in the house. Kip is a compact, charcoal, basenji-type dog. Miso is a slate-grey cat with a white bib. You will also see anatomical plates, rooms, and props from the same library. We do not use stock photos for these pieces, and we do not reuse the older YouTube mascot.

How we write

Every claim you can hang a number on should have a source on the page. If a popular idea has not been tested — for example, that a dog “counts the hours” by smelling how a scent fades — we say so. Clinical topics are referred to a veterinarian. We would rather publish a shorter honest article than a long one padded with guesses.
