 Caring for your cat is easy with the advice given on Valley Veterinary Group’s website, valleyvets.co.uk. With their long experience in veterinary and day-to-day care for favourite felines, even those new to cat ownership can feel confident. Of course, many who share their lives with cats believe their pets own them, rather than vice versa!
Cats are now Britain’s favourite pet – perhaps because they seem to be easier to look after than dogs. Many owners acquire their new cat almost without thinking but, if a conscious decision is made, it’s useful to take into account feline needs before going ahead. Caring for your cat will include regular vaccinations, worming and dental care, as well a regular inspections for fleas, ticks and ear mites.
The most important thing to remember is that cats, just like humans, need love, and that’s expressed not just in cuddles but in practical care. Neutering is best, if only to avoid unwanted kittens being foisted on friends! Because cats are independent, it’s likely your pet will wander the neighbourhood at some time. Microchipping can prevent the permanent loss of your feline friend.
The basics of cat care are a warm bed, a litter tray, water, daily dinners and toys to play with. The approximate monthly cost including veterinary care and pet insurance is around £25, not including cattery charges for when you’re away from home. The millions of cat owners in the UK consider it’s well worth it!
Your cat will live up to 14 years of age or even longer, with some cats still delighting their owners for another four or five years. With careful, lots of love and time for play, plus grooming if your cat is long-haired, owning a cat is one of life’s most rewarding experiences.
