This little cutie Tyson, was in with us recently for his castrate and microchip.

His owners say he is quiet at home but he was a very chatty boy during his stay with us. As you may have guessed, Tyson is named after that famous boxer Mike Tyson.

Is your cat named after a sporting hero or other celebrity?

We had the awesome & very loud Mo in recently for his castrate. Mo is a gorgeous oriental who is more like a dog then a cat according to his owners. Mo loves playing fetch & is currently being harness/leashed trained for walks.

Mo's owner messaged us these lovely words & some photos after his visit:

"Thank you so much taking good care of Mo When he came in for his surgery last week. We were kept informed the entire time and the following day we were contacted to check how he was recovering! what an incredible service."

This is Monkey sporting her fabulous donut collar which she is wearing to prevent her from nibbling at a sore paw.

We're not sure how impressed Monkey is but we are pleased her foot is now healing.

Happy Father's Day from us all at The Cat Clinic!

Here's handsome Ralph chilling with his human. Ralph is one of our clients at the clinic & being an oriental we certainly know when he is here as he is very chatty!

Ralph (like most oriental cats) is a real character & loves a game of fetch. He presented his mum with a bread bag he'd found out & about on his travels last week too.

Thanks to Ralph's Dad for allowing us to share these photos today.
Please feel free to share your photos of your cats below.

The day we have to say goodbye to a beloved pet & family member is always one of the worst days.

This article on grief from International Cat Care is a helpful read.

Back Bereavement 31st July 2018 Everyone that loses a cat experiences some degree of grief at their death. How that grief is expressed will depend upon personality, upbringing, life experiences and numerous other factors. For many, a good cry is a sufficient expression of the loss of a companion tha...

Handsome Kenny was in with us last week for his castrate & microchip. Kenny was a little unsure of being in his temporary surroundings and felt more secure sat in the hidey-hole of the tower with his blanket & catnip mouse.

We encourage owners to bring their cats blanket & favourite toy with them which we put in the kennel with them for the day so they have the familiarity of the smell of home. 😻

We received this lovely message & photos from one of our clients this week. (Sharing with permission):

"I’m little Freya’s owner and I just came to see you for a 12 o’clock appointment today for a claw clipping.

I just wanted to thank you for the work you do. Freya was not having a good time and I’m very grateful that everyone involved came away from that intact, because she was fighting for her life.

As soon as she got home, her tail came right up and she flopped over for belly rubs and purred her little heart out, so she’s doing just fine now.

You all do fantastic work and I can’t thank you enough for looking after her even at your own risk."

We received these lovely words & photos from one of our clients & they have kindly given us permission to share on here.

We have been seeing Benji & Sweetpea for 15 years now (hence the kitten & now photos too) .

"Hi team
I wanted to thank you for all you have done for Benji and Sweetpea.
As you know, this time last year, Benji was not in a great way with thyroid not under control and with tummy problems and weight loss.
Look at him now!
The most contented cat ever, getting all the life out of his days.
You all do such an amazing job of looking after cats and their parents, and I have really appreciated the time Cameron and Hana have taken to explore all the issues properly and assess options for treatment with me. I love that you will avoid unnecessary treatment too, eg not sedating Sweetpea for a scan (yes, she is a cool cucumber, but she obviously feels relaxed with you). The wider team, reception and nurses, are so warm, attentive, professional and caring. I have total faith in you all. And this is the result!
Benji says a big thank you and so do we".
