Reunited We often hear stories of pets travelling many miles and being reunited back with their owners thanks to microchipping. Recently in the news, two-year- old pupster, Cherry, was taken from her Northampton home only to end up in Brighton after being sold on by her kidnappers. When her new owner discovered Cherry did not get on with his other dogs, she was taken to a rescue centre only to have her chip scanned and her original owner was contacted. Viv Joyce believed she would never see her beloved Cherry again, but was reunited thanks to her microchip. Following an announcement by the government in May this year, it will soon also become law for cats to be microchipped as part of the Action Plan for Animal Welfare.
Cat vs Christmas Tree Christmas trees can be a festive problem because a lot of cats tend to have a fascination with them. Older cats who enjoy a quiet life may not be very interested but for the more mischevious and curious kitty, a fully decked tree can be one big shiny temptation which could lead to issues. Making your Christmas tree smell unappealing One of the best ways to discourage your cat if they venture near the Christmas tree is to make it smell unattractive to them. A lot of cats really dislike citrus smells, and will actively avoid an area where this is present. Using a citrus deterrent in the vicinity of your tree can therefore be effective – just make sure that your cat can’t get hold of any cotton wool balls or peel that you use for this purpose. Another option is to spray the base of your Christmas tree with diluted vinegar. If your tree is usually up for a few weeks, it’s best to ‘top up’ the deterrent smell so your cat doesn’t get too used to it and are no longer put off by it. Another thing to try is wrapping aluminium foil around the base of your Christmas tree to discourage climbing.
