Today is Black Cat Appreciation Day, when we honour these beautiful cats who have been the subject of myth and superstition for centuries.

Bringers of bad luck? Anyone who’s lived with a void cat knows the only thing they bring is love and affection (and, yes, occasional moments of chaos).

Did you know that black cats often get overlooked in rescues? If you’re thinking of adopting a cat, a shadowy sidekick might be your perfect match.

Unlike us, pets have no understanding that hot weather can be harmful. We control their environment, their access to water and their exercise, and they can’t speak up if they start feeling unwell. Heat stroke can rapidly progress and, even with veterinary treatment, is often fatal.

Here are some top tips on how to help your cat stay cool during
a heatwave. For more advice on hot weather safety:
