Continuing the theme of responsible pet ownership, this week we bring our feline friends into the spotlight and explore why they are often underappreciated and don’t enjoy the same status as dogs.
We discuss ways you can be the best owner to your cat. For more tips on looking after your cat or kitten, check out The Lost Dogs’ Home guide, Looking after your cat.
See The Lost Dogs’ Home Facebook page regarding your responses to the question: Tell us what are some of the inexpensive cat toys you have a home?
