A healthy appetite is an important sign of a cat’s overall wellbeing. When a cat suddenly stops eating or shows little interest in food, it can be worrying for owners. Because cats are particularly sensitive to changes in food intake, a loss of appetite should never be ignored.
Understanding the possible causes and knowing when to seek veterinary advice can help protect your cat’s health.
Planning a holiday or work trip often comes with the tricky question: What’s the best option for my cat while I’m away? For many people, the word “cattery” springs to mind. But while catteries may seem convenient, they can be deeply unsettling for cats—and stressful for their humans, too.
Losing a cat is every owner’s nightmare. As a cat sitter, it’s also one of the most stressful experiences I can face. While I do everything I can to keep cats safe and happy in their home environment, the unexpected can sometimes happen.
Being a professional cat sitter is a fulfilling, busy, and rewarding career. While many people imagine it’s all about playing, cuddling, and feeding cats, the reality is far more nuanced. It’s a role that requires not only a deep love for animals but also an understanding of their needs, business skills, and the ability to build trust with their human owners.
Aggression is a common behavioural issue in cats that can lead to serious consequences, including injuries to humans, other animals, and even other cats. It is estimated that 27% of cats surrendered to shelters are given up due to aggression. Understanding the reasons behind this behaviour and learning effective ways to manage it are crucial for cat owners.
Have you ever wondered why some people seem to have an almost magnetic connection with cats? I’ve often heard phrases like, “My cat doesn’t usually like strangers, but they love you!” While I take this as a heartfelt compliment, I believe there’s more to it than just luck.
