Feeding other people's cats

Dear everyone

Cats have completely different digestive systems to humans, which is why there is food especially for cats - you'll see lots of it in your local supermarket, pet shop and on-line pet food stores.

If cats eat food meant for humans, it can upset their systems and can even cause long term damage to their livers and kidneys, which is very distressing to witness.

Therefore, when a friendly healthy cat appears in your garden, or in your street, PLEASE do not feed it.  He or she is getting absolutely everything it needs at home.

One of my cats is somewhat "challenged" and he loves everyone and everything and will eat anything offered.  He came home smelling of bacon last night and didn't want his Hill's Science Healthy Development (for kittens up to 1 year)!!

If you really can't resist giving a cat a treat, just pick up a packet of Dreamies next time you're in the supermarket and give a cat two or three.  They'll still come visit but what you give them won't be doing them harm.

Thank you!
