I run Purple Cat Links as a category-based product review and buying guide site. The goal is simple: help people find the right thing for their actual situation without spending the whole evening in a research rabbit hole. Every review and comparison here is grounded in direct use or thorough research, and I only write about products I’ve looked at closely enough to have a real opinion on.
What You’ll Find Here
Five core categories cover most of what gets published on this site:
- Tech & Gadgets: headphones, smart home devices, laptops, and the everyday tech that either earns its price or doesn’t.
- Home & Living: kitchen tools, cleaning supplies, storage, and home office gear that actually make daily life easier.
- Crafts & Hobbies: beginner-friendly buying guides and picks for creative projects, DIY, and hobby kits.
- Pets & Pet Gear: food, toys, carriers, grooming, and the random things cat and dog owners end up needing.
- Buying Guides & Comparisons: the longer, head-to-head posts for when you want one well-researched read instead of scrolling ten mediocre ones.
Who I Write For
The site is built for people who want a straight answer. You already know roughly what you need, you just want someone to cut through the noise and tell you which option fits your situation, how it holds up in real use, and what the actual tradeoffs are. If you’ve ever opened twelve product review tabs and closed the laptop more confused than when you started, this site is for you.
A Little Background
I’ve been running online businesses from home since the early 2000s. I’m a solopreneur, which means every post, photo, and piece of site infrastructure on Purple Cat Links comes from me directly. I’m also neurodivergent, which shapes how I evaluate products. I notice small friction points, I care a lot about how things feel in daily use, and I have very little patience for features that exist purely to fill a spec sheet.
I also run Work At Home Dream, a sister site focused on solopreneurs and people building work-from-home businesses. Different audience, same voice.
