Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: April 2026

Right, let’s get the legal bit out of the way so you know exactly where you stand.

The short version

Some of the articles on Siamese Cat Breeder contain affiliate links. If you click one of those links and buy something, I earn a small commission. You don’t pay a penny more. Amazon (or whoever the retailer is) pays me out of their end of the transaction.

That’s it. That’s the whole thing. If you want the longer version — which includes the programmes I’m part of, how I choose products, and the UK law bits I’m legally required to tell you about — keep reading.

Which affiliate programmes I’m part of

Amazon Associates (UK)

Siamese Cat Breeder is a participant in the Amazon EU Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.co.uk. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

You’ll see Amazon affiliate links in articles where I recommend specific products — enzyme cleaners, litter trays, cat fountains, that kind of thing. They look exactly like any other link. Every article that contains one carries a disclosure notice at the top.

Other programmes

I may occasionally join other affiliate programmes (cat food brands, veterinary product companies, pet insurance) if they’re a good fit for readers. If I do, I’ll add them to this page and I’ll always flag affiliate links at the top of any article they appear in.

How I choose products

Here’s my rule: if I wouldn’t put it anywhere near my own cats, it doesn’t go on the site. That’s not a marketing line. I’ve had Siamese cats for decades, I breed them, I know what works and what’s a waste of money.

When I recommend a product I either:

Own it and use it myself, or have done in the past
Have tested it with client cats, foster cats, or boarding cats
Have researched it thoroughly against the alternatives and concluded it’s the best option in its price bracket

I turn down more affiliate offers than I accept. A brand paying a higher commission rate doesn’t get priority over a brand with a better product. If the money made the decisions, this site would be full of cheap rubbish and I’d be embarrassed to link to any of it.

What the commission actually pays for

A fair question: where does the money go? Hosting, domain registration, image licences, plugin subscriptions, the occasional coffee to get me through a 2am article edit. It keeps the site running and keeps the articles free for everyone. No paywall, no signup wall, no ten-pop-up gauntlet before you can read the thing.

Realistically, affiliate income on a site like this is pocket money. It’s not a business model. It’s a small contribution that stops the site costing me money every month.

Your price doesn’t change

This bit matters. When you click an affiliate link and buy a product, you pay exactly the same price as if you’d gone to Amazon directly. The commission comes out of Amazon’s margin, not yours. You are not being charged extra for the convenience of my recommendation.

You can absolutely not click the links

If you don’t fancy using the affiliate links, that is genuinely fine. The articles are the same articles whether you buy anything or not. You can take the product names from the comparison tables and search Amazon directly, or buy from Pets at Home, or from your local independent pet shop. No hard feelings. The content is free because I want it to be free.

UK legal bit

UK consumer protection law — specifically the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008, the CAP Code as administered by the Advertising Standards Authority, and the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 — requires me to clearly and conspicuously disclose any commercial relationship between me and a product or retailer I’m recommending.

I do this three ways:

An inline disclosure at the top of every article that contains affiliate links
A more prominent callout immediately above any product comparison table
This dedicated disclosure page, linked from the footer of every page and from inside the inline disclosures themselves

All affiliate links on this site carry the HTML attributes rel="sponsored nofollow" as required by Amazon’s Operating Agreement and by Google’s webmaster guidelines.

Prices and availability

Product prices and availability on Amazon change constantly. I don’t display live prices on this site because I’m not using Amazon’s Product Advertising API (PA-API), and Amazon’s Operating Agreement forbids displaying static/cached prices. If you want the current price, click through to the Amazon listing — that’s always up to date.

Questions, complaints, concerns

If you ever think I’ve recommended something dodgy, missed a disclosure, or been less than transparent about any of this, tell me. Seriously. I’d rather fix it immediately than have it sit there. Use the contact page and I’ll reply personally.

This disclosure was last reviewed in April 2026. If Amazon or UK law changes its requirements, this page will be updated accordingly and the “last updated” date at the top will change.
