What do you think of the term "Furbaby"?
Some people have human children but still think of themselves as Mum or Dad to their pets. Some can't bear the expression. https://hasanjasim.online/mother-attacks-animal-lovers-says-the-term-fur-babies-is-an-insult-to-moms/?fbclid=IwY2xjawF4DhdleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHZKcCn1jFItX1O5S_cS8rRl9WW9lr14EYZNpacs5n82z16BeF5QC3qYOZA_aem_qLd_WJm7tvkG0SMb6V4Gpw

So many of the stories related in the comments are remarkable and wonderful... 🐾💕🐈‍⬛💗

There is a Japanese legend that talks about a method to find cats that have left the house and never come back.
The technique is to talk to the street cats in the neighborhood as if you would talk to anyone and ask them about your cat, describe it and it's hair tone, even tell them what it's name, and, ask them to help you find him or her. Tell them how much you love them and how much you want them to come home.
They will communicate with each other to help your cat return home ❤

Wise precautionary advice for keeping your felines safe, especially in winter.

Winter Safety for Cats - Beware of Hidden Napping Spots! ❄️🐱

As the temperature drops, our feline friends love to find warm and cosy spots to nap. Unfortunately, this sometimes means they may sneak into dangerous places such as washing machines, dryers and dishwashers. Vets often see cases of cats getting stuck in these machines, which can lead to serious accidents.

🟣 Here are some tips to keep your kitty safe:

🐈 Always Check Before You Close: Make it a habit to check inside washing machines, dryers and dishwashers before you start them.
🐈 Close Doors Securely: Keep appliance doors closed when not in use to prevent curious cats from exploring.
🐈 Create Safe Warm Spots: Provide your cat with warm and comfy alternatives such as heated cat beds or cosy blankets.
🐈 Be Mindful of Small Spaces: Cats love small, enclosed spaces. Ensure cupboards, drawers,and other small areas are cat-proofed.
🐈 Supervise Laundry Time: If possible, keep your cat out of the laundry room while you're doing chores.

Keeping these tips in mind can help ensure a safe and warm winter for you and your feline friend! 🐾💕

Thanks to all the wonderful foster carers who care for, train and prepare pets for their forever home.
It's not an easy job with some animals having only experienced the worst of humans. And after giving so much love and help, these people then have to say goodbye to those in their care.
From one of these lovely people, we now have our beautiful Chiara (Kiri). While we still miss Minou, having Kiri in the house has given new life to the two older cats (who seemed to be grieving and depressed). Welcome Kiri!

Just a little entertainment!
Some cats can be very difficult to administer tablets. However well mashed in food they either won't eat it or amazingly seem to eat around. Or they fight you for giving it by hand.
My cat Minou is like that except she loves hand feeding so I just sandwich the tablet between 2 pieces of dried food and make sure she gets another after to ensure she swallows it.
Having her do "UP" isn't about training her to do tricks, it's about bonding. I always tell her how clever she is, and even is her bowl is full she prefers this.

This is one of 3 tiny kittens found in Darcy Kelly Rd over the last 10 days- they are most definitely NOT feral, they were just frightened and starving 💔. They are very tame, friendly and ready to purr once caught and fed (they are gorgeous kittens💕), so they had clearly been dumped up here :-( ... The 3 caught so far (2 tabbies, and a black and white) now thankfully all have (indoor) homes, but it is possible that there may be one or more kittens still out there? A grey kitten was possibly seen, although that may have been one of the 2 tabbies in poor light. They are now around 6 weeks old, but small for their age. They were originally spotted close to the Mt Glorious Rd end of Darcy Kelly Rd, on the lower side of the road, opposite Lisetta's. If you see another kitten, please text Karen on 0421 467 221, and if I'm home I'll come along and bring a cat carrier and some food to try to help catch them... thank you so much... 🙏🌿🐾

⚠ SERIOUS NEW DOG DISEASE IN QUEENSLAND ⚠

The tick-borne dog disease ehrlichiosis (err-lick-ee-o-sis) has been recently confirmed in a Queensland dog. It is reported that this dog had not travelled outside of Queensland, meaning the disease has likely found its way into our local tick population.

Erlichiosis can make dogs very sick – and without treatment can kill them.

Dogs that are sick with this disease get a fever, look very tired, do not want to eat and lose weight. Their eyes can also go blue and mucky, and they can get nose bleeds. It is important you use anti tick products on your dogs to stop the ticks from biting them and spreading the disease.

If your dog is sick, make sure you take it to a vet.

Dog owners should have their dogs on regular tick products, always check their dogs for ticks, and look for signs of the disease. Talk to your vet about the best tick products to use.

If you think your dog has ehrlichiosis – speak to your vet, community Animal Management or Environmental Health Worker straight away.
