🐱🍂 Autumn doesn't mean the end of flea season!

Has your cat been scratching more than usual? As the weather gets colder and we turn the heating back on, fleas can continue to thrive indoors.

Flea eggs and pupae can linger in carpets, rugs, bedding and soft furnishings, with warmer temperatures helping them emerge. So even if your cat spends less time outside, it's important to keep up with flea prevention. 🏠🐾

Here's how to tackle the problem:
🐾 Treat all pets with a suitable, recommended product. Never use a dog flea treatment on a cat.
🧹 Vacuum carpets and soft furnishings, and wash bedding and cat beds regularly.
📅 Keep up with your pet's recommended flea treatment schedule to help break the flea life cycle.

🕯️🍂 Planning a cosy evening with your cat, a good book and a lit candle?

Before you settle in, here are a few things to keep in mind to help keep your feline friend safe! 🐱🤍

🕯️ Keep candles out of reach. We know cats love jumping onto any surfaces but they often can't see what might be on a table, so always supervise them around burning candles.

🌿 Check the labels. Choose candles made from beeswax, soy or vegetable wax, and avoid paraffin wax candles, which can release toxic compounds when burnt.

🌬️ Keep the air fresh. Open a window to help ventilate the room and reduce fumes.

🐾 Give your cat space. Cats have a fantastic sense of smell and may avoid rooms where candles are burning. Make sure they can leave the room freely, and keep burning candles away from their favourite sleeping spots.

Enjoy a safe cosy season! 🧡🍁

🌙 As the nights draw in, have you thought about how this might affect your cat?

Cats are naturally more active around dawn and dusk, so their routines and behaviour can change as the seasons change. 🐱

Our advice on cats at night has some helpful tips to keep your cat safe and happy as the evenings get darker. 🐾

🤍 Today is World Mental Health Day 🤍

Cats can bring companionship, comfort and joy to our lives, and those little moments spent with them can be a positive part of our wellbeing. 🐱🐾

Today is a good reminder to look after our own wellbeing, check in with the people around us and remember that it’s okay to ask for support when we need it. 🤍
