Keeping pets happy and healthy is the chief concern of a responsible cat owner. When you are able to adequately provide for your pet’s needs, there will be lesser chances of health and behavior problems and your pet will have a longer and happier life.

If you have an indoor cat, you can take it outside provided he is fitted with a collar and leash or harness, so you will be able to keep an eye on him. Your pet’s collar should also have a tag where your updated contact details are indicated. This can be a big help in case your pet strays away and gets lost.

If you’re traveling for several days or months, leave your kitty with somebody you can trust—a friend, your neighbor, or a reputable cattery. Always make it a point to write down clear and complete instructions for your kitty’s care, feeding, and medications (if there are). Leaving your contact information and itinerary will make it easier to contact you if there are any problems with your pet. Your veterinarian’s contact information should also be provided.
