🐾 Happy Tortoiseshell Cat Appreciation Day! 🐾

These beauties are known for their stunning mix of colours and their sassy personalities. Whether they're lounging in a sunbeam or plotting their next adventure, torties always keep us entertained! 🌈✨

Here's an interesting facts about tortoiseshell cats: Tortoiseshell cats are predominantly female due to their genetic makeup, as females have two X chromosomes that determine coat colour (orange and black). Male tortoiseshell cats are rare, typically having only one X chromosome, resulting in either black or orange coats. When males do have tortoiseshell colouring, they usually possess an XXY chromosome configuration, making them sterile and more prone to health issues.

Today we want to give a special shoutout to all the tortoiseshell cats out there! Share a photo of your naughty tortie in the comments and tell us what makes them special! 🐱💕

Meet Harley! Recently, this beautiful girl came to us feeling a bit under the weather and had totally lost her appetite. 😿 Our amazing vet, Richard, quickly got to work and was able to feel that Harley's intestines were bunched up—a sign that often points to a foreign body.

A “foreign body” can be anything that doesn’t belong in a cat’s tummy. Linear foreign bodies, like pieces of string, are particularly sneaky and can cause big problems. 🧶 After putting Harley under general anesthesia, Richard was able to confirm his diagnosis, as Harley had one end of a piece of string wrapped around her tongue! The other end had traveled all the way through her digestive tract to her intestine, causing the bunching Richard had felt during his initial exam.

Our talented team were swiftly able to remove the string, and Harley is now back to her playful self, soaking up the sunshine! ☀️✨

Remember, if you ever notice a string hanging out of your cat’s mouth or rear-end, DO NOT PULL IT! This can cause serious injury. If you are worried that your cat has ingested a linear foreign obect, please give us a call. Keep any strings and hair ties out of paws' reach, especially when you're not watching. 🐾❤️

Meet adorable Amelia, who came in to us last week for a new hairdo 🐱💖 Isn’t she looking cute?

Amelia was struggling with some matting, so her owner opted for a lion cut for her 🦁! This stylish trim leaves the face, mane, legs, and tail fluffy while shaving the rest of the coat. We recommend brushing long-haired cats like Persians and Ragdolls daily. If that sounds like a challenge, a lion cut could be the perfect solution!

✨ Why Choose a Lion Cut?

🐈 Reduces shedding and matting
🐈 Keeps your cat cool in hot weather
🐈 Promotes better hygiene and hairball prevention

👉 While we aren't groomers, we do offer a range of grooming services to help your cat feel comfy and clean! Our services can be combined with sedation, ensuring even the most anxious cats receive the care they need. Call us today to chat through our options!

Happy Siamese Cat Day! 🐾

Today we're all about celebrating these chatty, classy and sassy cats! A firm favourite here at Swansea Cat Clinic, Siamese cats are known for being super social, affectionate and talkative - they aren't afraid to share their opinion 😹

Did you know that Siamese kittens start off totally white? Their signature colour points develop as they grow thanks to temperature sensitive genes! ❄️

If you have a Siamese yourself, please share their picture in the comments 😻

🐾✨ Today is World Stray Animal Day! 🐱💖

We see stray cats everyday here at the clinic, but would you know what to do if you came across a stray cat? Here are some important steps to help ensure their safety and well-being:

🐈 Assess the Situation 🔎:
Check if the cat looks well-groomed and healthy. If they seem very young, underweight or ill, they might need immediate help, so contact the RSPCA or a local rescue charity.
🐈 Avoid Feeding 🚫:
Resist the urge to feed the cat right away. Feeding can encourage them to stay and might interfere with finding their owner.
🐈 Check for a Microchip ✨:
If the cat seems friendly, take them to a local vet who can scan for a microchip for free.
🐈 Ask Around 👥:
Talk to neighbors or post on local social media groups to see if anyone recognizes the cat. You could even put up posters to see if anyone recognizes the cat. Sometimes, they might just be lost.
🐈 Use a Paper Collar 🖊:
Create a paper collar with your contact information. If the cat has an owner, they can get in touch.
🐈 Contact the pros 📞:
If you can’t find an owner, reach out to local animal charities and rescues. They can provide guidance and support.

By following these steps, you can help reunite them with their families or ensure they get the care they need. ❤️ And by microchipping your cat, you can ensure that they are never picked up as a stray! Book your microchip appointment with us today for just £20 😸
