Old age comes to us all and its no different for your cat. For you this means taking a bit more time to care and look after your old timer and you should expect to have to visit the vet more often to ensure no niggles turn into major issues.
The major difference you’ll notice in your cat is that they are less mobile that they once were. This means they’ll be even bigger comfort seekers than before. They’ll need a cozy, soft area to sleep in away from cold drafts. This will make sure your cat stays healthy as long as possible.

There’s no denying it cats love heat and cosy corners. If there’s a stray sunbeam going you can bet that your cat will find it and enjoy soaking up the warmth, and if there’s a fireplace to be found you’re cat will be there. Now that the winter nights are drawing in and we’re experiencing the first of many chilly evenings to come I’ve definitely noticed a determined need in my cat to seek out warm cosy spots. My friend only commented this morning that she woke up this morning with lovely toasty feet and as she wiped the sleep from her eyes realised it was her cat, Oliver, who had abandoned his usual perch for the cosiness of her bed.

So what exactly is a moggy? A moggy is a cat that is either cross bred or is a non-pedigree cat. They simply do not belong to a recognised breed. Across the globe there are around 100 million cats kept as pets and a huge percentage of those are made up of the humble moggy. In the early nineteenth century cats were not really kept as pets. They were working animals kept to keep the rodent population under control. Good looks weren’t the priority and there wasn’t the same obsession with pure breeds that we have today. However moggies can be magnificently beautiful cats and shouldn’t be underrated.

Choosing your cat’s name is the first step in your new relationship with your feline bundle but if you initially come up with a blank you will be forgiven as it’s not as easy as it might seem.

There’s no getting round it. If you’ve chosen to be a cat owner you have a little tiger stalking around your home. You can remove a cat from the jungle but you will never remove their jungle hunting instincts. As these beautiful and graceful predators pace and slink around the rooms of your home take time to appreciate these wonderful creations of nature and recognise that we must allow their ancient instincts to stalk and hunt to express themselves in play.
