Be Strong and Positive
Be Strong and Positive
Our cats feed off our emotions, so when we take them to a cattery they don't understand we may be a bit upset because we're going to miss them...
As we usually take them to the vets in their carriers, by the time they reach the cattery and we fuss all around them, they can be quite convinced something terrible is about to happen!
The difference in 'settling in' time between a pet left by a confident relaxed owner compared with a loving but emotional owner can be huge.
REMEMBER your cat is going on a relaxing holiday too, waited on hand and paw.
Also for your peace of mind, you can check in on Facebook or contact us at anytime for an update on their wellbeing.
Carriers are for fun...
Carriers are for fun...
Have you thought that nearly every time you pop your cat into a cattery you are taking them to the vet? No wonder they don't always think it's a good idea...
Try putting the carrier where you feed your cat or put there bed on top of it so that it can be associated with good things and homely smells.
For young cats and kittens it's good practice to load them into the carrier before meal times and carry it to where you are going to feed them.
Try having one room for playtime and take them to and from that room in their carrier. Soon they'll forget that once a year they go to the vets in it!
