In The Cat World Prevention Is Always better Than A Cure!!
Hi all just a quick post today as I am at the day job looking after some of my feline patients.
Please always consider what impact any life style changes will have on your cat(s) . With many cats prevention is so important. Over the years it has astounded me how many cats cope with almost anything BUT many do not. It is difficult to predict which type of cat you have, though the nervous ones are obviously over represented as being particularly susceptible to stress.
However the number of times I have seen a relaxed happy cat become stressed with all the resultant problems (many of them major issues) from one seemingly minor life style change is very sad. Many of these cases could have been prevented or at least managed correctly early on before they became a chronic problem.
For example the Siamese cross cat that started to spray after a room was redecorated by noisy and to the cat smelly decorators and he continued to spray for @ 12 months till we actually got the cat destressed!!
So educate your selves, learn how to talk and think cat and just consider your feline boss in anything you do around their home 
Have a great weekend it is a long bank holiday weekend here in the UK but I am trying to get our new cat first aid book finished for publication on the net.
