Happy National Cat Day! 🐱 Today is all about celebrating the cats who bring companionship, joy and plenty of personality into our lives and raising awareness for the many cats still waiting in shelters and rescues for families of their own.

If you’re thinking about adding a feline friend to your family, consider opening your home to a cat in need. And if you’re already lucky enough to share your home with a cat, today is the perfect excuse to give them a little extra love!

One way to celebrate? Make their world a little more interesting. Play, climbing spaces, scratching opportunities and other forms of enrichment can help support your indoor cat’s physical and mental well-being.

Making surgery day just a little bit more comfortable is important for us at Friendship Animal Hospital.

Sweet Beignet was admitted with us and showed signs of anxiety so we wanted to make his stay as comfortable as possible. 🥹

Our team can adjust their environment and provide a quieter, cozy space with comfy bedding, familiar-style comforts, and even a few toys to help them settle in. 🧸

Every patient is different, so we pay attention to what they are telling us and adapt their care whenever we can.

Beignet seemed to approve of the accommodations, although we think the stuffed animal may have become his patient. 😂🐶

September is Animal Pain Awareness Month 🐾

Pets can’t tell us where it hurts and sometimes the signs of pain are much more subtle than we expect. Changes in behavior, movement, appetite, or even facial expression can give us important clues.

Signs of pain may include:
🐾 Limping, stiffness, or difficulty getting up
🛋️ Hesitating to jump, climb stairs, or play
🍽️ Changes in appetite
😴 Sleeping more or becoming less active
🐱 Hiding or changes in grooming habits
🐶 Restlessness, irritability, or sensitivity to touch

There are also structured tools veterinarians use to help recognize and assess pain.

🐱 Feline Grimace Scale – Looks at subtle changes in a cat’s facial expression, including ear position, eye tightening, muzzle tension, whiskers, and head position. There’s even a free Feline Grimace Scale app that pet owners can use to learn what to look for.

🐶🐱 Colorado State University Pain Scales – These veterinary pain-assessment tools use observations such as behavior, posture, movement, response to touch, and body tension to help evaluate pain in dogs and cats.

These tools can help us recognize pain, but they don’t replace a veterinary examination. Pain can have many causes, and the best treatment depends on the individual pet and underlying condition.

Most importantly, you know what’s normal for your pet. If something seems different even if you can’t quite put your finger on what change then give us a call. 🩺❤️

Nash came to see us for a dental procedure, but apparently he wanted a job. 😂

By the end of the day, the stethoscope was on and Nash had officially promoted himself to Dr. Nash specialized in radiology. 🩻🐶

We think he has a promising career ahead of him! 💛
