Creating a safe and cat-friendly environment is essential to preventing accidents and injuries. Cats are curious creatures and can get into all sorts of trouble if their environment is not properly secured. Some common hazards to avoid include toxic plants, open windows, and loose wires. Providing your cat with plenty of vertical space, such as cat trees or shelves, can also help keep them safe and provide them with exercise and mental stimulation. Be sure to keep all hazardous materials, such as cleaning products and medications, stored safely out of reach.

Caring for a cat is a rewarding and fulfilling experience, but it does require time, effort, and attention. By understanding your cat’s behaviour, providing them with a balanced diet, a clean litter box, and regular grooming, and keeping them healthy and safe, you can ensure that your cat leads a happy and healthy life.

Remember, every cat is unique, and it may take some trial and error to find the perfect routine for your cat. But with patience, love, and dedication, you can provide the best possible care for your feline friend.

Separation Anxiety is a real serious emotional problem where dogs will panic when left on their own. Some dogs will “misbehave” when the owner goes out for eg they will chew furniture; shoes etc or defecate in inappropriate places. This does not necessarily indicate your dog has separation anxiety. It might mean the dog is bored and find it fun to chew your shoes. With toileting he may not really be properly toilet trained.

First of all no one really knows what goes on in the mind of these dogs. No one knows why some dogs have it and others don’t. We don’t know much about what causes it and how it’s developed or if it’s consistent with certain breeds.

• A dog shows separation anxiety when the owner leaves him alone for any length of time

• Dogs are pack animals and feels abandon by their owners when going out

• The length of time is irrelevant to a dog, owner can be gone for a few minutes or a whole day.

In the next few issues I’ll cover signs of Separation Anxiety and what causes it and to help your dogs.
