Cat care tips and advice
If you’re thinking of getting a cat, remember that they’ll need space to be active and have regular interaction with people and other animals (cats don’t really like to be left alone for long periods during the day).
They will also need access to clean water, meat-based cat food and regular grooming, as well as private access to a litter tray, which should ideally be replaced once a week.
We have lots of advice for cat owners, including tips on understanding cat behaviour, when and why to neuter and specific advice on how to look after a kitten during those first few weeks and months.
