With so many areas being plagued by torrential downpours,
landslides, earthquakes and tornadoes, every cat owner
should be prepared for the worst and keep a Disaster Kit
on hand. The following items should be part of every basic kit.
Copies of all documents for each cat (i.e. licenses, vaccination records and/or medications)
One gallon of fresh water
Pet first aid spray and gauze wraps
A small bag of cat food
A strong leash and collar that won't slip over your cat's head--preferably a harness
Spare pet name tags
a small bag of kitty litter and a litterpan
A non-spill water dish
An animal carrier (i.e. Vari Kennel)
Favorite toys and treats
"People that don't like cats haven't met the right one yet."
~ Deborah A. Edwards, D.V.M.
There are a variety of different cat doors available. Some open inward and outward, others only inwards, so the cat can enter but not leave the house. Some cat doors have a locking mechanism that would allow you to keep your cat indoors at night. The most sophisticated type of cat door is one that is activated by a magnet on your cat's collar, ensuring that no other animals
will gain entry to your home.
