"Mange" is a general term for infectious skin disease cause by mites. Mites are highly contagious. If your pet has mites, all other animals in the household need to be treated as well. Save this infographic, then click to learn more: https://mrkmnls.co/3Bk9LVy.

🐾 The pads on a cat’s paw, or their ‘toe beans’ as they have become affectionately known across the internet, are tightly packed full of nerve endings that collect and send messages to their brain about what they are touching.

The extremely sensitive pads act as shock absorbers when a cat jumps down from a high surface, they help with hunting and playing with toys (or swiping your cup off the table!). A cat’s pads can even pick up vibrations from things like footsteps, which can help them cope with hearing loss. Their pads can also play a vital role in communication with other cats, as the glands here produce pheromones.

You can train your cat to become more comfortable with having their paws touched for situations like veterinary examinations. But because their paw pads are so sensitive, it can be an uncomfortable surprise for a cat to have their toes touched unexpectedly. So, even though it may be tempting to touch the toe beans, we need to respect where our cats do and do not like to be petted. 🐈

Did you know cats don’t show signs of chronic kidney disease (CKD) until around two-thirds of their total kidney function has been lost? 😿

CKD is one of the most common conditions seen in older cats, with 20-50% over the age of 15 years affected.

🏥 Routine screening of all mature cats can help early diagnosis, which may prolong a good quality of life. Yearly or twice-yearly routine veterinary health checks are important, and as cats age, urine tests and body weight should be monitored regularly, as these can reveal early signs that CKD is developing.

eat grass? 🌱 As carnivores, cats don’t usually volunteer to eat fruit or vegetables, but they do like to eat grass!

Eating grass is a normal behaviour in cats but we don’t fully understand it – we generally think that it helps to move food or hairballs through the digestive tract (either up ⬆️ or down ⬇️). It may also provide them with essential trace elements in their diet.

🪴 We recommend that cats without access to grass outdoors are provided with a source indoors. This can be a commercial pack of ‘cat grass’ or a pot in which grass seeds or grass from the garden can be grown.

Indoor cats without access to grass may chew other potted plants they would usually ignore or avoid – some of these plants may be poisonous! 🙀
