Adding to information we shared in a December 10, 2019 post <link>, Sophia Mitrokostas consulted with veterinarians and veterinary technicians to highlight things that cat owners get wrong.
Cat owners should not force attention on cats. Though cats enjoy human attention, they like it in smaller doses than dogs, and on their own terms.” – Wendy Houser, DVM
Source: Insider, February 1, 2020. Link. Here is a selection from the list of things cat owners get wrong:
- Don’t bring plants into your home before checking that they are safe for cats
- Owners should not teach their cats to “hand play”
- Avoid feeding only dry cat food and do not free feed them
INSIGHTS: New and old cat owners need this guidance. Share it with them on social media, websites and in newsletters. Be sure to discuss the list with team members.
