Last year, I noticed that Spark had trouble settling and eating all of his food; he would eat a bit and then simply walk away. So I sat next to him and he ate all of his food.
Spark’s a senior at 14.5 yo, he needs the comfort & security of me near him as he eats. It helps him feel less vulnerable.

For unhoused and vulnerable individuals- studies that the human shelters that accept pets have significant benefits to the owner, animal- and other residents.
Why? Because a pet isn’t just a pet- they’re family.

Today, Boon and I saw a lot of triggers- so what did I do? 🤔
1️⃣ I managed the situation to reduce his stress levels.
2️⃣ I moved away to where he wouldn’t react.
3️⃣ I helped him decompress with a scatter feed.
And mostly importantly, I helped him feel safe by comforting him.

1/3 Cats often prefer to drink water from taps for several reasons:
🐈 Cats evolved to only drink moving, not STANDING, water to prevent getting sick,
💧Your cat might not like where their water bowl is located,
🐈 Another cat could be bullying & preventing the cat from accessing their water bowls,

Should I start a “Don’t be a Twat Dog Guardian” campaign? Never, ever, ever walk your dog behind or beside a dog that you don’t know!! The dog could be like Boon, highly reactive & scared of the world! It happened to us today and Boon reared & barked in fear due to the twat. Don’t be like that twat.
