Did you know microchipping will be compulsory from next June? It will be a legal responsibility for every owner to ensure their cat is microchipped. Please spread the word that cats protection are offering this for free on 7th Nov. It makes such a difference for those who go missing .

The laser light toy may initially appear to be a great way to give your cat some exercise. The problem though, is that it doesn't provide the tactile satisfaction of having "caught" anything. Cats have carpal whiskers on their paws that tell them when they have captured the prey and whether there's any movement or not. With the laser toy, your cat never gets that message. Playtime isn't just about getting your cat to move, it's also about providing satisfaction and building confidence. Don't frustrate your cat. Use an actual interactive toy so your cat can enjoy being a successful hunter.

If your cat is obsessed with the laser toy, start the game with the laser and then direct the light onto an actual interactive toy. This way, you can gradually wean your cat off the frustrating light.

Another of our is , which means ensuring cats are never worse off because of people or their activities. 🐈🧍‍♀️🧍‍♂️

‘Harm’ is often thought of as physical, but there is growing recognition that “do no harm” should also protect the mental wellbeing of cats because they are thinking, feeling creatures who can experience suffering mentally as well as physically. Both types of suffering impact each other and can come from:

🐾 Inappropriate handling - like scruffing

🐾 Surgical procedures preventing species-specific behaviours - like declawing

🐾 Providing too much of something - such as food

🐾 Unsuitable medications, chemicals and plants - like paracetamol, antifreeze, lilies

🐾 Interactions against the cat’s will - like inappropriate social media trends🤳

🐾 Breeding for looks over health - causing discomfort, pain, problem behaviours, limited gene pools

🐾 Anthropomorphism - attributing human thoughts and feelings to animals, for example dressing up cats

🐾 Failing to recognise poor health – injury or pain, negative (protective) emotional states, 

🐾 Punishment based training techniques – like water spray bottles

Ever wondered why some cats have a loose pouch of skin under their tummy that moves around when they walk? 🤔

Well, this is known as the 'primordial pouch' and is thought to serve a couple functions:

🐱 To protect their organs during fighting. When cats fight, they really go for it! They will often try to rake their opponents abdomen with their sharp back claws, so the primordial pouch protects this area from serious damage.

🐱Because the primordial pouch is made up from excess skin, it helps cats to stretch out when they are running, jumping or climbing. This is important for both hunting and defence.

🐱The primordial pouch starts to develop when a cat is around six months of age. It has nothing to do with neutering and is a completely normal part of the feline anatomy. Both entire and neutered cats may have a primordial pouch.

🐱Some big cats, such as tigers and cheetahs also have primordial pouches

🐱Sizes in primordial pouches vary - it doesn't mean your cat is overweight if it has a obvious primordial pouch, but it can do. If your cat is overweight you should speak to your veterinary team for advice.
