Welcome to the latest edition of my blog. Life as a cat is
pretty good I have a home and family off my own who love to give me lots of
attention and tantalising cat treats. It’s totally awesome, yep!
Recently I was watching the news because I like to be an informed cat and I saw that there were terrible bush fires in Australia. This made me very sad for all the people and the animals who lost their homes as a result of the fires. It got me thinking about the importance of being prepared in case of an emergency. I know you can’t live your life in fear however I want to encourage all of my fans to consider developing an emergency evacuation plan for you and your pet.
Firstly, I suggest determining where you could relocate your
pet too if you have to evacuate. Identify if they have any specific
requirements. For example, some boarding kennels require animals have up to
date vaccinations.
The next step I suggest is having an emergency pack prepared
for each of your pets which have the following items included
· Blankets, bedding and nesting materials: Most
animals, myself included will not like being moved to a new location. After all
the house is our domain. Therefore if you can make sure that these items are
familiar to us it will help comfort us during a very stressful time.
· Toys
· Food and water: Don’t forget to include some
bowls for us to eat and have a drink.
· Carrier: Cat carriers usually take us bad places
like to the vet so we may be hesitant to get into our carrier. You might like
to get different carrier than the one you would normally use. If it’s different
we may be intrigued by this new item in the home so we may cooperate with you.
If this doesn’t work and you are like Kona and more intrigued by box you may
like to use the box to carry us to the car and then have one of your humans
ready to put us in our normal carrier.
· Litter box and litter
· In a water proof bag place a picture of your
pet, vet contact information and our vaccination certificates.
· You may also like to put a preppy collar with a
personalised ID tag on your pet. If they are like me and don’t go outside you
at least want to have some reassurance that if we do get separated that whoever
picks us up knows that we have staff members.
Be preppy, be prepared but make sure you live your life to the fullest too.
Love N2
