My cat chat

Our cat is our baby substitute. As the kids grew older, we craved a warm creature to hold, nuzzle and to talk to in a silly voice. The man of the house said he didn’t want a sh*tting, sofa scratching ball of fur in our home, but as soon as the tabby kitten slept on him he was smitten. We were all smitten with the kitten, and now at four years old he holds our attention and our love and our indulgence more than ever.
And so it was that I had a cat chat with my neighbour last night. She said that her cats had been eating cat treats that were like crack cocaine to them but it turned their urine to a sticky mulch that produced toffee-type lumps in their litter trays. My cat was whooshing around our legs as we talked and she told me to keep our feline away from them. A big campaign last year by cat owners with similar observations hasn’t stopped them being sold. So for any cat lovers out there, please take a look at the ingredients in your cats’ treats. If they like them too much banish them. If we’re worried about the health of our families we should stay vigilant about all family members including the furry ones. Who’d have thought that a mum worrying all the time about what her kids eat and do, would now have to be anxious about her fluffy child. Do other people worry about their pets like this or am I just going mad?

    You really aren’t the only pet owner who worries about a pet, just as if it were a child. As an owner of two cats, a dog and a goldfish, I spend a fortune on pet food. What you feed your pets long term can cause health problems if you aren’t reading the labels, so if you want your pets to have a long and healthy life, carry on worrying!
