It’s back to work we go….

Over the last year, a lot of people’s lives have been dramatically altered by the pandemic. Obviously, that means that by default, the lives of their companion animals have too.

According to a recent study, vets have reported a 39% increase in stress related urinary problems in cats compared to the figure in 2019. (If you’re concerned your cat may be affected by the changes during lockdown in this way, the International Cat Care site is a great resource regarding symptoms to look for. You can find out more by visiting https://icatcare.org/)

Cats are extremely sensitive to changes in their environment and routine. And in the UK, there are changes again as the guidelines alter from the beginning of this month.

The RSPCA has published some advice about how to reduce stress levels for your cat when you return to work.
