The Cat Butler - SW Nottingham

We bet you didn't know this about your feline friend? 🐱

Cats, camels, and giraffes are the only animals that walk by moving both legs on one side, and then both legs on the other. 🚶

This unique gait gives them a longer, more efficient stride and allows them to place their back paws exactly where their front paws were—helping them stalk their prey in near-silence, and helping them cover ground quickly with less effort. 🐾🤫

☀️ The sunshine is back! 😎

With some gorgeous weather finally settling in for a few days (and fingers crossed it stays around for a bit longer! 🤞), it's time to think about keeping our feline friends safe and comfortable in the heat.

Unlike us, our kitties can't just shed a layer of clothes when the temperature rises. To help you ensure your cat stays happy, hydrated, and chilled out over the coming days, head over to our website to read our guide: https://www.thecatbutler.co.uk/cat-care-guides/how-to-keep-your-cat-cool-in-summer/📖✨

🐾 Quick Tips to Beat the Heat Today:
💧Hydration Station: Place extra water bowls around the house, or try a cat water fountain to encourage them to drink more fresh, cool water.

🧱Create Cool Zones: Keep curtains or blinds drawn in sun-facing rooms to block out the harsh rays, and leave a safe tiled floor accessible for them to stretch out on.

❄️The Ice Pack Trick: Wrap an ice pack or a frozen water bottle in a towel and place it near their favourite sleeping spot for a DIY cooling mat.

👇 How does your cat like to keep cool when the sun comes out? Do they seek out the shade, or do they claim the bathroom tiles? Let us know in the comments! 👇

Short, sweet, and straight to the point—just like a cat's demand for breakfast! 🐾

We absolutely love receiving feedback that gets right to the heart of what we do. No fuss, no fluff, just premier care for your feline friends here at The Cat Butler SW Nottingham.

Thank you to our amazing clients for trusting us with your fur-babies! 🐈‍⬛✨

📍 June is National Microchipping Month! 🐱✨

It’s the perfect time for a quick reminder about one of the most important ways to keep our adventurous feline friends safe.

A microchip is like a permanent ID card that never gets lost or falls off. If your kitty ever decides to go on an unexpected grand adventure, a microchip is their fastest ticket back home to you! 🏡❤️

As a friendly reminder, it's also a legal requirement for cats in the UK—but even if your cat is already chipped, when was the last time you checked your details?

Here is your quick Microchip Checklist:

📞 Update your info: if you’ve moved house or changed your phone number, make sure it’s updated on the database!

🩺 Ask for a scan: Next time you’re at the vet, ask them to quickly scan the chip to ensure it's sitting right and working perfectly.
