πΎ World Animal Road Accident Awareness Day πΎ
Today is World Animal Road Accident Awareness Day, a chance to remember the thousands of animals affected by road traffic accidents each year and to share simple steps that can help keep our pets safe.
While the risk of cats being involved in a road accident is relatively low, accidents can cause serious or life-changing injuries.
Here are a few practical ways to further reduce the risk:
β
Neuter your cat, as neutered cats are less likely to roam in search of a mate
β
Keep cats indoors after dark when drivers may find it harder to see them
β
Use a quick-release reflective collar to help improve visibility at night
β
Make sure your cat has everything they need at home, reducing the urge to wander far from their territory
Every cat is different, but taking a few simple precautions can make a big difference to their safety.
