This stray, or rather abandoned cat, was picked up from waltham cross. He was filthy, unneutered, starving and possibly kicked in the face, maybe annoying people fighting with other cats or trying to scavenge. Hopefully the x owner sees this or person who inflicted the wounds. His jaw is snapped in half and he will lose his eye!

My name is Paula I am studying for a BSc in Animal Behaviour, Welfare and Conservation. Some of the most stressful events for a cat are going to the vet and travelling in the car. This survey aims to discover what cat owners know about cat-carrier training and the benefits of the training, if they have carried out the training with their cats and if not what might be stopping them? 🐈

Don't worry if you've never heard of cat-carrier training before. All you need is to be a cat owner to fill it in. πŸ™
