As the weather turns colder and Priya spends more time indoors, I’ve been making sure I’m providing a cat friendly environment!

Priya loves being up high, so she can survey her territory and keep a close eye on everything, so I’ve been clearing as many high surfaces as possible, to allow her to have raised resting places! 🐈‍⬛❤️🐈‍⬛

It’s been a while since Priya has used this snuffle mat! She’s really enjoying searching for biscuits! Priya gets bored very easily and needs lots of enrichment and stimulation. Puzzle feeders have been so good for both her mental and physical wellbeing! ❤️🐈‍⬛❤️

Priya has recently been quite unwell. While she was poorly and had very little appetite, I gave her food in a bowl! I did wonder if she’d ever go back to using her puzzle feeders again!

As soon as she started to feel better, she ignored the biscuits in the bowl and demanded food in her puzzle feeders!

Priya is doing so well. She’s still taking Prednicare (steroid), but we have reduced the dose to a tablet every other day and hopefully we can further reduce to one every three days very soon! She is eating a sensitivity diet, which she enjoys, so all good! ❤️🐈‍⬛❤️

Priya has always enjoyed drinking from the tap, so she loves this water fountain! Do your cats have a fountain or do they drink from a bowl? ❤️🐈‍⬛❤️

Priya finds vet visits very difficult, but keeping the carrier covered, elevated and being examined whilst she remains in the bottom half, really helps! Having amazing vets at The Cat and Rabbit Care Clinic are key to making what Priya finds very difficult, as positive as possible! This is so important, especially as she’s currently needing frequent visits.

How does your pet feel about visiting their vet?!

Many can find coming to see people like me a bit stressful but there’s lots you, as their pet parent, can do to help them relax and enjoy their health checks!

🐱 Cats🐱

🐱 Keep your cat basket out at home as a cosy space for your cat to rest.

This means they won’t find it a strange place to be when they are taken to the vet and that will help them to feel more relaxed and secure.

🐱 When you get to your vet, try to keep your cat’s basket off the floor.

This will help them to feel safer and ensure they aren’t stressed out by any curious dogs trying to check them out!

🐱 Cats love to hide, especially when they are in a new place or are a bit worried.

So having a carrier without too many windows, or covering it over with a blanket will be hugely appreciated by them. Many practices now provide blankets for their feline friends and some even will have special scent sprays for you to use which are proven to decrease anxiety.

🐱 Baskets where the top comes off or your vet can examine your cat without them having to leave that safe space are brilliant.

🐶 Dogs 🐶

🐶 Pop in when you are passing by!

The people in your local clinic love animals and the door is always open and the snack tin is always full. The more your dog sees their vets as a fun and regular place to visit, the lower their anxiety will be when they need to go for a check-up.

🐶 Feel free to let them on the furniture!

Many dogs prefer to be beside you while they are waiting and our seats are made for everyone!

🐶 If they have to come and stay for the day at the clinic, you are very welcome to bring along their favourite toy or blanket.

Having something familiar with them that smells like home can really help our dogs relax and feel safe.

Vet visits are important! How do you make sure your pet feels safe and happy when they come to see us?

Priya was recently diagnosed with hypertension (high blood pressure). The only sign was a bleed on her eye, with her behaviour and health appearing unchanged! I initially thought she’d got an irritant, in her eye, or had been scrapping with another cat! As soon as she was seen by her amazing vets, she received a detailed eye examination and blood pressure check. Her blood pressure was very high and she was immediately prescribed medication. A re-check after a fortnight, shown a significant drop in blood pressure, although it’s still higher than normal. She will be having another blood pressure check, next week! We then need to establish whether the hypertension is secondary to another issue, such as CKD or hyperthyroidism, or if this is an idiopathic hypertension!

I would urge anyone, who sees any change in their cat’s eyes, to get them checked asap.

Priya is totally oblivious to any problem and is still enjoying using her many puzzle feeders! ❤️🐈‍⬛❤️
