Summer is now in full swing (though the weather gods don't always seem to agree!) so we hope you're enjoying the warmer days and lighter evenings with your feline companions. School is almost out for the summer and, if you have children or grandchildren to entertain for the next six weeks, you'll love our lead feature. Throughout the UK, you'll find plenty of cat-themed days out to suit the whole family — from beautiful National Trust properties with resident regal moggies to charity fundraising events and a chance to meet big cats at some of the UK's top zoos. Pick up the August issue for 38 of the best days out for cat lovers in the UK and plenty of summer holiday inspiration — you'll be spoilt for choice! If you like the sound of getting up-close-and-personal with lions and tigers, don't miss our fantastic competition inside the August issue, where you could win the chance to give big cats their breakfast at Woburn Safari Park. We've teamed up with the Park to give three lucky readers this once-in-a-lifetime VIP experience for you and three friends! Among the other treats we have in store for you inside this issue are a fabulous summer cross-stitch pattern from Heritage Crafts, a delightful short story by novelist Tracey Glasspool and a selection of heart-warming true cat tales, written by Your Cat readers. Our resident vet, Dr Bradley Viner, has some invaluable information about dementia in elderly cats, and our handy buyer's guide to dry food will ensure you're armed with the best information when choosing a diet for your cat.
