There are countless ways to honour your feline friends on International Cat Day. One of the best ways is by spoiling your cat with new toys, treats, or a comfortable cat bed to show your appreciation.
If your cat enjoys climbing and exploring, consider investing in a new cat tree or scratching post to keep them entertained and engaged.
Beyond celebrating our own pets, International Cat Day also shines a light on the welfare of stray and feral cats. Hundreds of cats live on the streets in and around the Swansea area without access to food, shelter, or medical care. Local charity groups use this day to educate people on the importance of TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) programs, which help control feral cat populations in a humane way. By supporting local cat welfare charities, cat lovers can contribute to efforts that improve the lives of homeless cats.
Cats have been our companions for thousands of years, providing love, entertainment, and even health benefits to their owners. Studies have shown that owning a cat can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and improve mental health. Their playful antics and affectionate nature make them one of the most beloved pets worldwide. International Cat Day serves as a reminder of the joy they bring to our lives and the responsibility we have to ensure their well-being.
While International Cat Day is officially celebrated once a year, every day is an opportunity to show love and care for your feline friend. Whether it’s through playtime, healthy nutrition, or simply spending quality time together, small acts of kindness go a long way in making your cat feel special. So enjoy your day with your feline companion!🐈🐾

Furballs, also knows as trichobezoars, commonly occur in cats resulting from their grooming habits. They can be more common during warmer months, due to cats moulting. When cats groom, they swallow loose hair, which can accumulate in the stomach and form a furball. While usually harmless, they can sometimes cause issues if they don't pass through the digestive system naturally, either being vomited up or passed in the faeces.
You can reduce the risk of furballs by regularly brushing your cat, to help remove the loose hair. There are products available which lubricate the digestive tract and aid the passage of hair.
Common signs include retching, loss of appetite, lethargy, constipation or diarrhoea and coughing. If you suspect a furball is causing any health problems, contact the practice 🐱🐾

July is UV awareness month ☀️
To protect our feline friends from harmful UV rays, which can cause sunburn, we recommend to provide shaded areas in the garden and limit outdoor time during peak sun hours. You can also use pet safe sun screen on vulnerable areas such as ears and nose, especially for cats with white fur in these areas.
Ensure cats always have access to fresh water and you could even consider cooling mats, to make them more comfortable.
If you have any concerns about you cats sun exposure or if you notice any skin problems, contact us for an appointment.
