Cat/Kitten Pet Passports

If you are planning to take your cat/kitten with you abroad in the neat future you will need to plan a few weeks ahead.
They will need a pet passport which your vet can issue:

Make an appointment with your vet several weeks before you are due to travel to give plenty of time for your pet passport to become valid.  You will need to take all your cat/kittens details with you, and your details as their owner, so that they can be added to the pet passport.

You vet will give your cat/kitten a health check and microchip your cat/kitten if they don't already have one.  These details will be added to your pet passport.

Your vet will then take the vaccination details from your vaccination card and enter these on your pet passport - some countries insist on these details on your pet passport and not on a separate vaccination card.

Your cat/kitten will then receive a rabies vaccination which will be recorded on their pet passport. Its worth mentioning at this time that a kitten cannot receive a rabies vaccine unless they are at least 12 weeks old - and yes, a day does make a difference - red tape and all that!
Cat/kittens are not allowed to LEAVE the UK until 21 days have elapsed after having the Rabies Vaccine.

Please note that DOGS have slight differences to CAT requirements so if you are taking a dog abroad check with your vet regarding the tapeworm requirements for their pet passport and other vaccine requirements to protect your dog whilst abroad depending on which country you are visiting.

Kitten Costs

The cost of a new kitten in much higher than most people consider.  Cats are a life-long commitment so its important to factor in lifetime costs. PDSA found that the majority of cat owners thought the cost would be significantly less than the estimated £17,000, so below are some of the costs to consider: Purchase price of Kitten/Cat // Carrier // food and water bowls // bedding // scratch post or activity centre // insurance // Food // Litter // Litter box. Then preventative care such as Vaccines // wormers // flea control. The there are the extra costs Veterinary Visits // Toys // possible accessories such as jackets or collers// Long haired cats may require trips to groomers.

Stomach Problems

Mild stomach upsets in cats are not uncommon - a sudden change in diet, over eating, or an intolerance to a food not usually consumed can cause stomach upsets in cats.  Starving for a short time and giving a bland diet for 7 days before transitioning back onto their normal food is recommended.  Its important that cats should NOT be starved for longer than 24 hours and kittens NOT longer than 4 or 5 hours without contacting your vet for advice. Hairballs can also be a problem in some breeds of cats which can be a cause of digestive problems.  Having owned Bengals since the year 2000 we have never had a hairball from one of our Bengals.  Having owned Savannahs since year 2007, quarantined in our own cattery in 2008 and never had a hairball from any of our Savannahs, although Marguerites do produce hairballs as do many other breeds of cats. However, there may be more serious causes of acute stomach upsets in cats such as an intestinal obstruction, ingesting a toxic su...
