🐾 Meet Suki 🐾
He came in for his shift at the biscuit factory! 😂
'Making biscuits' is the term used to describe cat's kneading behaviour, which they do whilst content and purring. Suki had to have 3 teeth out due to gingivitis, a painful condition of the gums which can affect cats of any age. 🦷

Why do cats knead
Why do cats knead❔
Kittens knead their mother's stomach to stimulate milk flow. If your cat kneads your lap during cuddles, it may indicate their connection from the secure bond with their mother to the bond they share with you.
And the more they knead, the more they love you! 💗
Caturday
If you’ve ever wondered why!
You’re welcome.

True or False
Registered veterinary nurses and student veterinary nurses are registered with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. They are regulated by them in terms of their conduct and keeping up to date with training. The term veterinary nurse is a contentious conversation in the vet world as anyone can use this term, even if not qualified or registered.
Efforts have been made to change this, and we fully support this; our nursing team deserves to have their title protected and for pet owners to know your vet nurse is fully qualified to look after your beloved pet.
Registered vet nurses RVN and registered student nurses RSVN are always qualified and trained.
