😻 We’re delighted to hear that Professor Danielle Gunn-Moore has been recognised in the New Year Honours list and has been awarded an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for her services to feline medicine.

Danielle has a long-standing relationship with International Cat Care, as a recipient of our Feline Advisory Bureau scholarship at the start of her career in feline medicine and speaking at many of our Congress events, including our first one 24 years ago. She has also been an active Editorial Board Member for over 20 years on our Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery (JFMS), authored numerous papers and made significant contributions to International Cat Care Veterinary Society consensus guidelines. We’re very proud to be part of her journey making a difference to the standard of feline veterinary care.

Please join us in congratulating Danielle and celebrating her achievements! 👏

Do you respect your cat's body language or do you go ahead and interact or snuggle, even when the cues being given indicate kitty wants to be left alone? Even though you love your cat and it's almost impossible to resist petting or cuddling frequently, it's important to pay attention to whether your cat is not giving consent.

We launched a new Positive Reinforcement Training Educational Toolkit. The Toolkit is designed to help educate cat caregivers on ways to positively reinforce good behavior while minimizing disciplinary techniques that could have adverse effects.

Do you want to see more of the behaviors you love from your cat? It starts with what and how you reward. Many times, we tend to only focus on the unwanted behaviors and ignore all the positive things our cats do.

Trust with a cat is earned, not rushed, and it’s always worth the wait.

In a multi-cat home, napping locations may matter more than you think. Providing different options gives each cat the freedom to choose what makes them feel safest and most comfortable. When cats have choices, stress goes down and harmony goes up

Simple note re litter trays and inappropriate toileting. Yes there may be behavioural or medical issues for this. But many people forget that it may just need a new litter tray. Over time smells get ingrained into the plastic, no matter how much cleaning you do. Make sure to refresh your trays regularly too.
