๐ŸŒ•๐Ÿฑ Full Moons & Feline Behavior: Is there a Connection? ๐Ÿฑ๐ŸŒ•

Last night was hectic! Odin was howling, meowing and running over our bed all night long! ๐Ÿซฉ

Have you ever noticed your cat acting a little more restless or vocal during a full moon? You're not aloneโ€”many pet owners report strange behaviors around this time. While there's no solid scientific evidence directly linking the full moon to changes in cat behavior, several factors might explain it:

๐Ÿ”น Brighter nights can stimulate more nighttime activity in nocturnal animals like cats.
๐Ÿ”น Disrupted sleep patternsโ€”for both humans and petsโ€”are common during full moons, possibly affecting mood and behavior.
๐Ÿ”น Increased outdoor activity (especially for outdoor cats) might lead to more wandering, hunting, or even conflicts with other animals.

While it's tempting to blame the moon for those 3 a.m. zoomies or eerie meows, itโ€™s likely a mix of natural instincts and environmental changes. Still, the mystery of the full moon keeps us watching the skiesโ€”and our catsโ€”a little more closely ๐ŸŒ•

I met these two beautiful chinchilla persian sisters this morning ๐Ÿ˜บ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ˜บ
Unfortunately Winter had caught up with them and both of their coats were fully matted, so the only way to combat this was to shave them and start from square one again ๐Ÿฉท
Unfortunately Kahu didn't recognise Mia afterwards. Mia had go go into a "cone of shame" as she started overgrooming the badly matted areas and this often ends up with large weepy wounds, as cats tongues are so rough.
Mia obviously looked like a stranger with the lack or fur and a crazy cool cone! ๐Ÿ˜น

Harry is famous at Christchurch Burwood Hospital. A VIP staff member, who brings smiles and warm fuzzies to staff, patients, and visitors.
Harrys coat had gotten a little out of control, so I popped in to meet this super star and to get him back into tip top shape!
What an absolute unicorn kitty! So relaxed through out - I think he knew he was going to feel so much better!
What a pleasure it was to meet all the awesome staff at Burwood hospital too. Everyone adores Harry, including all of their very lucky patients :)
Hes such a dude and a ray of sunshine for all if those who are lucky enough to meet him ๐Ÿ˜บ

Every now and then, you meet a cat......... who is also part dog ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
Please let me introduce you to this most beautiful rescue "Bean"! ๐Ÿ˜
Bean has a special feature - he has a genetic condition called syndactyly, which results in two or more digits (toes) being fused together, often appearing as a single, paddle-like foot. This is the opposite of polydactyly, which involves extra toes. While syndactyly is rare, cats with the condition can live full lives and as you can see here, his lack of toe beans don't slow him down! His favourite game is fetch! ๐Ÿ˜บ
One of the sweetest and funloving kitties, who has found the most perfect forever home.
Such a pleasure to meet you all Lisa. ๐Ÿค—
Bean is a unicorn kitty ๐Ÿฆ„ x

๐Ÿฑ The Hidden Risks of Hairballs: Why Regular Grooming Matters

As cats transition from winter to summer, increased shedding can lead to a higher risk of hairball formation. Ingested fur can accumulate in the digestive tract, potentially causing discomfort, loss of appetite, vomiting, or in severe cases, intestinal blockages that may require surgical intervention.

Preventive care is essential.
โœ”๏ธ Regular grooming helps reduce loose hair and minimizes ingestion
โœ”๏ธ Hairball-control diets support digestive health
โœ”๏ธ Supplements like cat malt can aid in the safe passage of ingested fur

Maintaining a consistent grooming routine and offering the right nutritional support can significantly reduce hairball-related complications โ€” and keep your cat comfortable and healthy year-round.
Please contact your veterinarian if your cat:
Is vomiting hairballs more often than once a week.
Is experiencing repeated, unproductive retching.
Shows signs of a potential obstruction, such as lethargy, loss of appetite, or constipation.
Has a swollen or sensitive stomach.
Ps: Fur balls often look like ๐Ÿ’ฉ, so next time you see one, check a little closer to see if its p**p or a nasty big furball! ๐Ÿ™€
