Though notoriously independent, cats are still a big commitment for pet owners and we really care about supporting you in giving them the best chances of a long, happy and healthy life. Our team of experts have put together advice articles that covers all bases, including kitten advice, neutering and vaccinations as well as senior cat advice, dietary advice and behaviour.
Although obtaining a kitten may be a particularly attractive proposition because of its playful and endearing personality, taking on a young cat also involves extra responsibilities.
Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. As many as one in five cats are likely to develop one of the many different forms of cancer at some stage of their lives.
Your vet will carry out a 'nose to tail' MOT when your cat is given its annual booster vaccinations.
Neutering is carried out for a variety of reasons including health-related issues, reproduction control and "heat", behavioural / psychological reasons such as territory marking and dominance and aggression problems.
You should examine your cat's mouth regularly for signs of oral disease which include bad breath; reddened, bleeding or swollen gums and build-up of tartar.
Cats' nutritional requirements change according to their life stage, from kittens through to adults and senior cats.
Worms are internal parasites that can be a serious health risk to cats if left untreated and may potentially infect and cause disease in people as well.
Vaccination is the only proven method of protecting cats against a range of potentially life-threatening diseases including cat 'flu and Feline Leukaemia.
