We as cat owners want to provide the best possible stimulating environment for our cat. They are curious creatures by nature and love to explore.

It is very important to microchip your cat! Indoor cats accidentally getting out are where most of our phone calls about missing cats come from.

The most common cause for itchy skin is a sensitivity to flea bites. Not only are the fleas themselves irritating, the allergic cat will have a persistent itch after one bite.

Your cat may be content to enjoy the longer hours napping in the sunshine, but for some other kitties, the longer days seem to bring out the some less than desirable behaviour.

It’s time again for us to announce our Cat of the Month!  This month our special feline is an amazing 2-year-old domestic short-hair named Ron Weasley. 

By far, the most common form of oral tumour  found in cats is Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Others which occur only rarely are Epulis, Fibrosarcoma and Lymphosarcoma.

Spring will arrive soon and it’s time we had a little chat about toxic plants. Ingesting a toxic plant can lead to many problems such as vomiting, diarrhea, and organ failure.

If you've been reading our blogs over the years, you know that 85% of adult cats have some form of dental disease and treatment can range from dental food to a full cleaning.

All of us at Killarney Cat Hospital make a point of donating time and/or money to charities important to us. We feel that’s one of our duties as members of the community.

Cats are naturally curious animals, so our holiday decorations, foods, and gatherings can pose a danger when cats decide to investigate and partake of the goodies!

Did you ever wonder how old your cat really is?  People often say a dog year is equivalent to 7 human years…does the same general principle apply to cats?

Has your cat started showing signs of dental disease such as bad breath, drooling, dropping food, or eating with one side of the mouth?
