The importance of Pet Protection – reasons why, it will never happen to my pet!

I felt compelled to write this article having just spoken to a couple of our members who “thought it would never happen to them” of course these members are absolutely devastated and are running around in a panic not knowing where to look first! the panic one feels when your beloved pet is nowhere to be seen is almost indescribable.

Do you fear the worst? do you try to remain calm and collected so you can start to search in a methodical manner? As the tears threaten to rise to the surface, as a pet owner you will want to be both sitting by the phone..willing it to ring but equally out, searching for your beloved pet, feeling you are doing everything within your power to try to find him/her.

The thoughts are racing through your mind, is my pet safe and just having a jolly time roaming the local area/park or has he/she injured themselves whilst missing from home, has he/she been involved in a road traffic accident and could be in need of urgent medical attention. Equally, it is very difficult sitting at a computer, compiling missing posters when again, the one place you feel you should be is outside, walking the local neighbourhood, speaking to neighbours and passers by, in the hope they have found or seen your beloved pet.

All to often I hear people say to me, its okay, I know my pet, they are always with me, well trained, will not stray, is a housecat and only goes into the garden when I am out there, and to an extent, I too, would like to believe that of my own pets, but I know I am fooling myself.

One lady called me in total distress, their cat is 10 years old, always returns home, never goes far at all, but lo and behold, he had disappeared. Was he wearing a identity tag (an instant visual means of identity) I asked, No she replies, he never goes far and then the famous words were spoken, I never thought it would happen to me especially as he is now 10. During the course of the conversation I quickly established she had 3 other cats, she decided there and then she wanted 4 of our unique identity tags, she wanted 4 in the hope her lost 10 year old would be found and reunited with her.

Another lady called me, she lived by the seaside and did as she does every morning, took her beloved dog for a walk onto the beach, she was distracted momentarily and stolen almost from under her eyes was her beloved pet, again I heard the words, I didn’t think it could happen to me, if only you had emphasised the importance of being a member earlier..Oh dear, what more could I have done!, hence my blog today.

Feel Sad No More With a Pet Cat

One of the popular pets is the cat. Some people love them because they are sweet and affectionate. But just like any other animal your pet cat also has a wild and vicious side especially when they are attacked or provoked. You will know that your pet cat is angry when he arches his back and his fur is raised. This is a sign that the cat is already angry and ready to attack. Cats attack by using their sharp nails and scratching their enemy. They can also slap and bite. One will usually end up with scratches and cuts after the cat calms down. Only on rare occasions do people get seriously hurt through cat attacks. Yet still one should be very careful in provoking the cat because no one wants a fight. On the lighter side of cats, they are also fond of playing. You may notice that your pet cat is fond of strings the reason behind this is because they see the string as the tail of their mother. Cats look for each other and follow one another through their tails. Sometimes when cats are playing with another it may seem that they are fighting because they make loud noises and they look like they are wrestling one another. But the truth is they also play the same way. The only difference is that when they are angry they bite and scratch.

Now when it comes to the nutrition of your pet cat they need essential vitamins and minerals like carbohydrates, protein, fiber and fats. Cat foods are available in the market and can be bought any time you need one. Just make sure that you read the label of the cat food before purchasing it, check if it has all the essential nutrients your pet cat needs. Another important consideration is the recommendation of your veterinarian. Since vets know the specific food that your cat needs he will be a lot of help when it comes to deciding what to feed your cat. Cats need different kinds of food depending on what stage they are in. Kittens have special needs that are different from those senior cats. Just to be sure better to consult the vet. Cats also get infected with different diseases like urinary tract infection, upper respiratory infection, kidney failure and diabetes. Diseases are usually transmitted through viruses from other cats. When you have two or more cats living in one place it’s best to bring them to the vet regularly so as to prevent problems. Another problem with the cat is fleas. We all know that fleas can be dangerous and it can lead to anemia, and tapeworms. One thing you can do to prevent fleas from infecting your pet cat is to make sure that the cat is always clean. Good grooming is the answer.

All in all caring for cats require a lot of effort on the owner’s part but once you’ve done it you’ll see that it’s very fulfilling.
