Re: Information for Cat owners

Mine are home gals anyway (I don't think they are even aware of the virus). I can't believe there has been an increase in the number of abandoned cats though since the message went out. I mean, who would do that? They can't have any connection with their pets at all.

Re: Information for Cat owners

Good advice from a source that can be relied on to give the correct information for owners. BBC not in that category.

Absolute imbecility is what we have come to expect. Backtracking now.

Re: Information for Cat owners

A good sensible report Tabby.
The initial bad publicity did make me think though.

I remember when there were reports about someone laying trails of poison sausages for pets a while back, and sausages with glass in them too.
There was also the notorious cat beheader running amok, he killed many.

Made me wonder how long before we see the cat-haters using this Tiger publicity as an excuse to poison or harm people's pets all over again.

I hope this more sensible report gets as much publicity as the big cat report did!
There are certainly some nutters about.

Re: Information for Cat owners

Cat flu is very dangerous....I hope they are ok

My two go out but mainly in the garden Sox is very friendly though with passing children ...they know her name and she goes running to them.... its a bit worrying, I might have to keep her in which means I will be very unpopular.
