Kitten To Cat

Senior Kitty Night - 2 November

As your cat gets on in life there will be obvious changes, some of which we may also associate with humans entering senior years, for example being a little slower and less active.  We are lucky enough to be able to go to a doctor when we feel things are changing but unfortunately it is not so easy for our feline friends. 
 
We would like to invite you along to an evening seminar on 'Feline Senior Wellness'.  This will be hosted by Kitten To Cat Veterinary Clinic and held in St Lukes House Hall (directly opposite the clinic) from  7.30pm on Monday 2nd November.
 
This complimentary evening will include nibbles and information on the following:
 
- 'Normal' changes as your cat gets older...
- Dietary requirements 
- Behavioural changes
- Common medical diseases 
- Osteoarthritis in the older cat  (guest speaker)
- Kitten to Cat's Feline Senior Wellness Clinic (and discounts associated with the evening)
 
If you would like to come along to this evening seminar please reply via email or call.  We have limited spaces for this event and previous evenings have proved to be very popular.  If you cannot make the evening but would like some more information please call and ask about our Senior Wellness Programme at the clinic.
 
We hope you are all well and hope to see you soon.

Cat Behaviour Evening with Francesca Riccomini – Part 2

Back by popular demand, Kitten to Cat is hosting another evening of talks by Francesca Riccomini - renowned feline behaviourist, veterinary surgeon and author of the book “Know Your Cat”.

In November’s lecture Francesca focused on the origins of the domestic cat, communication, different life stages and evolutionary survival strategies that underlie many common problems such as stress and marking.   This time around she'll focus more on what we humans perceive as behavioural problems but which are in most cases natural and predictable responses to the environment we impose on our cats. 

This lecture will be particularly interesting for people with multi-cat households and kittens.

   Date: 3 June 2009

   Time: 7:00-9:30pm

   Location: St Luke’s House opposite Kitten to Cat Veterinary Clinic 

   Address: 297 Sandycombe Rd, Kew, Richmond, London, TW9 3LU

About her books

Cats can seem mysterious to their owners. They sleep most of the day, are fiercely independent and yet can be playful and affectionate. With "Know Your Cat" you can finally unlock the mysteries of your pet's behaviour and truly get to know your feline friend. Learn how to read his expressions, tail flicks, purrs, hisses and meows. Understand why your cat grooms himself, rubs your leg, sprays and adores catnip. Solve his anti-social behaviour, such as clawing armchairs, running up curtains and drinking from the toilet. All of these secrets and more are revealed, along with features on the latest feline research and behavioural science.

You can buy “Know Your Cat” on Amazon.

Francesca is also co-author of “Essential Cattitude: an insight into the feline world”.  This is available as a free download from the Feline Advisory Bureau.

Kitten to Cat in the news

Here is an article from the Sunday Telegraph on 8 March 2009.  Kitten to Cat was profiled in the Business pages.  The Exotic Shorthair on the left is Romany and the Persian on the right is Treacle.  Both Rom and Treac were very upset not to be creditted and have upped their appearance fees for future photo shoots!
