warm and cosy …

Cats always like to have a cosy sleeping place, in a quiet area of the house.  It’s especially important in this weather to make sure the space is draught free.                                                  
There are all sorts of bedding/beds available, and some have roofs which can make your cat feel more secure.  Each cat should have access to its own bed, in it’s own area of the house – to ensure privacy and space – even if they then go on to choose to share !
Note that cats do like to be high up – perhaps on top of drawers, or a cupboard – so think carefully about where to place the bed.  This gives them a perfect vantage point (to watch you of course !)

massage or masseuse ?

Does your kitty love a massage, or does she prefer to be the masseuse ?!   Watch footage of 2 small kittens bonding and learning to trust each other at this link (scroll down to the video clip) :

kitten eats a 6 inch tv aerial, and survives to tell the tale

As reported by Scratching Post, ‘ … mischievous little kitten Alphie had to undergo emergency surgery at PDSA’s Sheffield PetAid hospital after managing to swallow a metal digital TV antenna.

‘Vets were stunned when x-rays revealed the cause of Alphie’s problems – a six inch TV aerial, which was lodged in his oesophagus and stomach. This would have proved fatal if not removed, so PDSA vets operated immediately to remove the aerial through the kitten’s stomach.

‘Owner Vanessa Waite said she had only owned the young tabby kitten a matter of days when he started showing signals of his love affair with the TV … ‘

the danger of rocksalt and anti-freeze

Now the snow is really here – the gritters are out, anti-freeze in abundance – we need to be vigilant for the sake of our cats and dogs.

As reported by the Daily Mail, dogs and cats are walking through the substances left by gritters trying to clear roads and car drivers defrosting their windscreens and then licking them  off their paws.  Consuming rock salt can cause dehydration, liver failure and pancreatitis, while  anti-freeze contains the chemical ethylene glycol, which can be lethal when ingested …

The article advises that the symptoms of ingesting anti-freeze include vomiting, seizures, appearing  sleepy and a heightened breathing rate – whilst symptoms of consuming rock salt include include burns to the mouth and throat and excessive salivating and drinking.

Read the full article at :  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1341137/Hundreds-dogs-cats-die-rock-salt-scattered-gritters-big-freeze.html

Good advice from the RSPCA Preston is that if you walk your dog on gritted areas make sure their paws are washed either by walking them through a few puddles away from the gritted surfaces or by dipping their feet in fresh water once home.

Contact a vet immediately if you suspect your pet may have been in  contact with these substances, or if you see any warning signs or symptoms.
