Worldwide Giveaway: Cat Christmas Cards & International Cat Care Conference

Hi everyone,

In October we  we went to another great conference of International Cat Care. At the show we picked up some purrfect Christmas cards for you all but before we get into the details on this giveaway let’s have a look at the conference itself!

The charity discussed some very important topics at the show! Below you can find a summary of these topics, we will make sure to post about some of these in more detail over the next few weeks. If in the meantime you’d like to check out some of their advice you can find these here.

Behaviour

  • Cats and babies – how cats are affected by a new baby, how to keep both the cat and baby safe and how to smooth the transition from a baby-free home to one which, if only for the first year or so, will be focused seriously on the baby.
  • Obesity – looking at obesity from a behavioural perspective, providing us with some interesting insights into not just our cats, but into our own contributing behaviours.

Veterinary

  • Cat friendly handling – top tips for feline friendly handling. These tips are ideal for practises who wish to become more cat friendly but the principles can be used wherever cats are handled.

New

  • ‘Tom and Jerry syndrome’ – a look at a brand new syndrome recognised in cats called FARS (feline audiogenic reflex seizures) or ‘Tom and Jerry syndrome’.
  • Hypertension in cats – just like humans, cats can suffer from high blood pressure. Learn more about this condition, the health consequences of leaving it untreated and how to best manage stress in order to gain a true blood pressure measurement.
  • Improving the welfare of confined cats – find out about the ideas behind, the aims of and the results so far of a new traffic light system, which has been developed to help homing organisations assess the health and wellbeing of confined cats.

In addition to covering all these great topics it was also the purrfect opportunity to pick up some cat related goodies from the charity!

    Since the contest is open worldwide Diavolo and I would like to enter. We tried the “tool” but since we already subscribe to the newsletter and follow your blog (and follow on Google+) and don’t have Facebook, twitter etc please consider this our entry.
    Keeping fingers and paws crossed.

      Good luck 😀 and of course! I’ll be putting up more details soon. In the meantime if you’d like to talk to someone from icatcare I can send you her email address. They are an awesome charity 😀

    Cool and helpful information! I liked reading the list at the beginning. I feel like I learned a lot about cats by reading Jackson Galaxy’s autobiography of sorts a couple of years ago. This helped my husband and I really understand our kitty. 🙂
