Yappy Cinco De Kitto & Doggo & Mayo!
Here are a few safety tips-
1- Do NOT let your pooch or kitty sip or taste your margarita. Alcoholic beverages can be very harmful to pets.
2- Spicy Mexican food can also be bad for your pets. There are lots of pet safe recipes online.
3- Avoid loud noises. Yelling, car horns, fireworks, live or loud music, and other sounds can scare your fur kids. Be sure your pets are chipped in case they get away!
4- If you are going out, think about hiring a professional pet sitter so your dogs or cats feel safe!

😻 Tomorrow is and in celebration of all our wonderful feline friends, we’ve been sharing lots of information about the importance of playing with your cat every day, as well as the benefits you and your cat will enjoy if you do.

Now it’s time to get ready…to play! Check out this fantastic guide created by Dr Mikel Delgado (International Cat Care Feline Wellbeing Panel member) and illustrated by Lili Chin (creator of our ambassador cats Domino and McTatters), which shares her tops tips for cat play 👇

🐾 Move toys like prey - play is an interactive experience that replicates your cat’s natural hunting behaviour.

🐾 Know your cat – find out what kind of ‘prey’ they like to hunt best and choose toys to match e.g. a long wriggling piece of fabric that moves like a snake, or a toy at the end of a wand that moves along the floor like a mouse.

🐾 Rotate toys to keep things interesting!

🐾 Make play a daily habit e.g. before dinner or bedtime.

For more top tips, download the FREE poster now 👉 https://icatcare.org/international-cat-day/ (available in NINE languages!) and join us tomorrow as we celebrate Purrfect Play Every Day! 🤩

Who’s your best friend?

When we first started walking Kimber, she was timid. We matched her up with Jagger. After meeting her new BFF, Kimber walks with her tail up looking for adventure. She comes running when she hears Jaggers name, throws a backward glance at the end of walkies, and has even protested ending a walk. Jagger loves playing with Kimber and gives her kisses. Pets melt our hearts! 💕 🐾
