Happy Take Your Cat to the Vet Day! Cats are masters at hiding disease and pain, so its so important for them to see the vet at least once per year, more as they grow older. But cats can find the whole experience stressful, which in turn can be stressful for you, their owners. There are many ways we can improve the experience for your cat, from carrier training to positive reinforcement to pre-visit sedation to reduce the anxiety. Speak to us, your veterinarians, about what we can do to make your cat's experience a positive one!

Volume up! Why is it I can’t stand the sound of humans chewing but I find the sound of a cat grooming adorable?!

Did you know that cats have an estimated 300-400 tiny, backward-facing stiff papillae on their tongues which facilitates grooming?

Cats are fastidious groomers and on average groom 4-6 hours per day!

Can you help this poor ginger cat name 3 things that are wrong with his litter box situation?

It is sooo tempting to rub that soft little belly, but most cats are not ok with this. Some cats will bite or scratch when this area is rubbed, either from frustration or even as a way to engage in play with your hands, which is not recommended. Stroking around the head area, chin, neck and back is usually accepted well by cats in short sessions. Always monitor your cat’s body language for signs they are enjoying all the attention. 💕🐈

Meet Milo! I saw Milo a few months ago for human-directed aggression towards his owner and her young daughter. Milo would ambush his owner when coming into the living room, during physical contact, or when she was walking out of her bedroom. He also exhibited attention-seeking behaviour at night when the owner went to bed and had some litter box issues. After implementing some litter box changes, some structured play time, an automatic feeder, some additional 'prey-like' toys and more vertical space, Milo is much more relaxed in his home. I'm always so impressed with how willing and dedicated many cat owners are when it comes to addressing their cats' behaviour concerns. A win for Milo and his wonderful owner!
