We all know and love our feisty furr babies, but did you know that house cats share 95.6% of their genetic makeup with Tigers ?

House cats also share a lot of the same behaviors, for example, scent and urine marking, prey stalking and pouncing.

Lucky for us they don't share the same size!

Have a lovely weekend!

We have been receiving panicked phone calls about Lepto all morning. There is no need to panic. Leptospirosis is mainly spread by rats, but it can be spread by other means.

At this stage there is no cat vaccine available..

Happy Tuesday!
How about a little recipe for this week. It has been proven to create quite a stir at home, see picture in comments!

Liver treats for dogs!

Puree 1kg Ox Liver.Add into 1kg self-raising flour.Add 6 eggs and the same amount of water which should be about 700ml. Mix together. Pour into a well greased oven tray and bake at 180'C for 30 min

Let them cool slightly, then cut into small squares and dry out in the oven at 110'C leaving the door slightly ajar, like rusks.

Recipe can be halved.

This does not replace dogfood, but is merely a treat.

. Did you know? While many people believe that milk is good for cats, most cats are actually unable to digest lactose, which is the main sugar found in milk.🥛

If you give your cat too much milk or dairy products, they may experience diarrhoea and vomiting.

Good morning Chase Valley Veterinary Clinic family.

Part 2: Arriving home after a hospital stay.
By our very own Sr. Debbie.

*Cats returning home from being at the Clinic will inevitably smell of the surgery environment. This “scent challenge” can cause the other cats to become aggressive towards them.

*Placing your worn garment i.e. jersey/blanket into the carrier for the return journey home will help to make it “smell like home” again.

*Calming spay/catnip can be used in the rooms where the cats stay.

*It may be wise to keep the cats separate, initially for 12-24 hours. You can groom and stroke them both so that their scents can be exchanged, and the clinic smell is not overwhelming before they meet again.

*Clients should supervise reunions, keeping it low-key + calm, especially for the cat coming home. This is important if there have been previous behavioral problems.

*If the retuning cat has been in hospital for a prolonged period, it may be helpful to keep it confined + gradually allow access to the whole house.

*Don’t pay all of your attention to the returning cat, remember those who were left behind!

Part 1: Getting to the Vet Clinic

Some useful tips to get your favorite feline into the Vet Clinic.

The most important thing is to remain CALM at all times.


*The cat carrier can be put into an area where they can explore it freely a few hours before the appointment.

*A calming spray/catnip can be sprayed into the carrier about 30 minutes before loading.

*One cat per carrier please. Even well-bonded cats can become aggressive.

*Their favorite blanket/toy can be put into the carrier.

*While traveling, cover the carrier with a towel or blanket. This helps them to de-stress a lot quicker in the dark.

*When you get to the clinic – don’t place the carrier on the floor but on a raised area.

*The carriers that open from the top are much more user friendly.

*Train your kitten to go into the carrier when they are young + desensitize them in a stress-free way.

Thank you Sr. Debbie. Part 2 coming soon!
