As the festive season approaches šŸŽ„, many cat owners are gearing up for trips. Leaving your feline companion behind can carry hidden health risks āš ļø. Cats are very easily stressed by routine disruption and can cause weakened immunity, making them susceptible to stress-related conditions like cat flu 🤧, urinary tract inflammation 🩸, compulsive grooming-induced fur loss šŸ±āŒand other diseases.


Follow this guide to safeguard your cat’s health while you’re away ✨

āœ… Avoid sending your cat to a new location - Cats are territorial by nature, and face heightened stress and disease transmission risks in shared facilities — especially with other unfamiliar felines 😼

āœ… Have a trusted person to ensure fresh food/water replenishment 🄣, litter box sanitation 🚽, and supervised playtime 🧶 to maintain normalcy

āœ… Complete your pre-departure checklist šŸ“‹and make sure they have everything they need for the time you are away - especially who to contact for problems!Ā 

āœ… Preserve familiar resting spaces šŸ›ļø - no big changes before you leave!


Key Takeaway: Minimising Stress = Preventing Stress-Related Illnesses 🄼
