Holiday safety tips for cat lover – WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH MY CAT WHEN I GO ON HOLIDAY? – cats vedios
Holiday time can be a stressful time for your cat. When you go away it disrupts their normal routine and they can become unsettled. There are several options to choose from when it comes to looking after your cat when you go on holiday to help minimise that stress.
In this video, we will review the most important of them
LEAVE YOUR CAT AT HOME, AND:
• Ask a friend, family member or neighbour to care for them. We would recommend they visit twice a day to check everything is OK, spend some time with your cat, feed them, provide fresh water, and clean their litter trays.
• Speak to your vet and find out whether there are any nurses in the practice who live locally and would be able to visit twice a day to care for your cat. This would be particularly helpful if your cat is elderly or needs medication at set times. A nurse would be able to see any signs that your cat is unwell and respond straight away. If a nurse isn’t available, then you can discuss this with a pet sitting company so that they know your cat has specific needs and requirements. It is also a good idea to inform your vet when you will be away and who will be caring for your cat in your absence.
• Use a pet sitting service. You can either arrange for a sitter to visit a few times a day or ‘live-in’ and care for your cat while you’re away. There are lots of options and you will have the opportunity to interview prospective carers first so you can meet them and allow them to meet your cat in advance. Professional cat sitters will have appropriate insurance and be happy to provide references from existing clients.
… OR YOU CAN PLACE YOUR CAT INTO A BOARDING CATTERY.
HOW DO I MAKE THE BEST CHOICE FOR MY CAT WHEN I GO ON HOLIDAY?
The best option for your cat will depend on their temperament. If your cat is confident and spends a lot of time outside, it may be better to let them stay at home.
Quieter, more nervous cats may feel like they’ve been left alone, and visits from people they don’t know at random times could potentially add to their anxiety. These cats may feel better spending the time at a reputable and secure cattery.
If your cat is fairly independent, it should be fine to arrange for a neighbour, friend or member of the family to pop in twice a day to provide food, clean any litter trays and check that all is well.
Some older cats really need their routines so a visit to a cattery would be potentially distressing for them, particularly if this is something that they don’t do on a regular basis.
If you don’t have someone who you can ask to do this for you then you can consider a pet sitting company.
I’M JUST GOING AWAY FOR THE WEEKEND, IS IT OKAY TO LEAVE MY CAT ALONE WITH EXTRA FOOD?
Although you can buy feeding devices that dispense food at regular intervals it’s never advisable to leave your cat completely alone overnight or for the weekend.
Your cat could become ill or be injured while you are away and not have access to help or medical attention.
The RSPCA recommend that no pet is left alone and that all owners have a legal responsibility to provide for their animal’s needs at all times under the Animal Welfare Act (2006).
If you find a good cattery, and book it in advance, you will be safe and happy in the knowledge that your cat is being well cared for when you are on holiday.
in the end . Your cat is responsible for you, so do not neglect her care, even during the holidays
