Image
 When my cat refused to budge during my relocation, I was almost in tears that I would have to leave him behind. But my friend showed me this article that had some great tips on how to make my cat more comfortable with the move. I tried these techniques, including following his normal routine and gradually making him adjust to his travel carrier by spreading his pheromones around. My cat got into the carrier on his own on moving day, and I was so happy to have him in my new home. If you too are in the same dilemma as I was, you should go through this article to get some helpful tips on how to move homes with a cat. https://www.betterremovalistsnewcastle.com.au/moving-house-with-your-cat-what-you-need-to-know/

Why owning a pet is a big decision

 Every year, dogs, cats and other animals are surrendered to the care of shelters or rescue organisations. Understanding the reasons why pets are surrendered can help you plan for the long-term commitment of owning a pet. Australian research found that most owners who surrendered their dogs (86%) did so for human-related reasons such as a change in circumstances (moving, travelling, changes in the household dynamic or a new baby), accommodation (landlord issues, property being unsuitable, yard too small or owner going into care), owner health (illness, death or allergies) or financial problems (being unable to afford the dog’s care or vet treatment).

Common cat diseases and symptoms to watch for

Image
 One of a cat’s many talents is their ability to hide signs of illness or injury until their condition has advanced. As a cat owner, this makes it extremely important to know what early signs to look out for that can tell you that something isn’t right with your cat’s health, so you can seek veterinary treatment early. Learning what diseases are common and becoming familiar with your own cat’s normal behaviour are great ways to better understand your cat's potential risk level, and what to look out for. Knowing the clinical signs associated with common diseases can help you recognise a problem and determine how your pet may be impacted by the disease, the next steps you should take and what treatment could look like, in consultation with your veterinarian.
