Another product has been invented that could cut down on the number of wild birds killed by domestic cats. Bells don’t work; cat bibs sometimes do, but cat owners rarely use them – saying they’re “too restrictive.” The same cannot be said about Birdsbesafe, which allows the cat as much movement as it wants.

Cat health problems are prominent, but many can be avoided. Cats are just as likely to get cancer, diabetes and organ failure as humans are. Cats can get diabetes, and it is often caused by a poor diet. Cats are obligate carnivores, which means that they require a diet high in meat and protein. This leads to diabetes.

My cats refuse to even try Fiery Minivets.

Start with easier pets – Many people don’t want to start with the responsibility of a dog or cat. With purebred animals, it is especially important to do your research and make sure the pet fits your family’s lifestyle.
