Tips For Letting Cats Out For The First Time

This blog is brought to you by The Registered Vet Nurses at the HUFT Vet Helpline service. Letting cats roam around outside on their own? Sounds odd? We will let you in on a secret—it really is not! It is true that our cats like familiar places. However, it is a fact often unknown that our felines are naturally independent creatures who also love to explore the outside world. Sniffing out the green grass, chasing after birds or butterflies, taking in everything with their big cat eyes, a walk is the perfect time to provide your cat with some exercise, mental stimulation and a much needed break from monotony. If it is your indoor cats first time outside, we understand that it can be a little scary. Cats have a habit of chasing anything that interests them (a moving prey or a potential mate) and losing their way home. This blog will help you look at some tips that can make your cats first adventure safe and memorable.
