Your Cat Magazine Your Cat Magazine May 2014 Edizione posteriore

The May 2014 issue is here!
We meet the feline star of the ‘Sing it Kitty’ adverts, Bronte, chat to Sky TV’s Stephen Dixon about his beloved cat Timmy, and, now that the warmer weather is here, how to help your cat with his shedding coat!
The Scottish wildcat is the UK’s own native cat. We discover that it is dangerously close to extinction in the wild. Steve Piper, who has been championing their cause, explains the struggles and challenges for this stunning looking cat. The best news is that there’s an exciting project just about to get under way to help secure a future for them.
With around 40 different pedigree breeds of cat to choose from, making the right choice can be a daunting process, so this month we’ve set out to help you make the right choice. Our informative Your Kitten section is the first place to head for expert advice if you’re a new kitten owner.
Check out our plans for Bank Holiday Monday May 5 — it’s CatWatch Day and it would be amazing to get as many of you involved as possible! Last year’s CatWatch Day was hugely successful, with hundreds of owners observing their cats and providing us with really interesting info on feline behaviour. Read more about our Neighbourhood Cat Campaign and CatWatch Day in the May issue and on this website.
Also in this issue, top cat vet Bradley Viner writes about first aid for cats, we offer expert tips on helping control your cat’s weight, and there’s a buyer’s guide to cat toys. Plus, our sub editor Chloë shares her experience of trekking across the Sahara to raise money for the Blue Cross.
