🐱🌅 Keeping Your Cat Safe Outdoors 🌅🐱
If your cat enjoys a bit of outdoor exploring, a few simple precautions can help keep them safe and out of trouble.
🌄 Be mindful of dusk & dawn
These are peak roaming times, and we see a noticeable increase in cat fights, bite wounds, and abscesses from neighbourhood scuffles. Keeping cats in during these hours can help avoid injuries.
🐦 Wildlife awareness
A bell on the collar or supervised outdoor time can help protect local birds and lizards.
💛 Microchip & ID tags
Essential for any cat who might slip outside — especially if they get spooked.
🌱 Check for garden hazards
Lilies, slug bait, fertilisers, and some sprays can be dangerous for curious cats.
🦟 Parasite protection
Outdoor time means more exposure to fleas and worms — regular prevention is key.
🏡 Indoor enrichment helps too
Window perches, toys, climbing spaces, and cosy hideaways keep indoor cats happy and stimulated.
Every cat is different — the goal is simply to keep them safe, healthy, and enjoying life in a way that suits them. If you’d like personalised advice for your feline friend, our team is always happy to help. 💚🐾
