    Now that our wildlife pond in the back garden is established, it is truly a joy to see so many different birds, animals and insects using the pond daily – and living in it! Happy that our pond was safe for our cats (see out article ‘Are ponds safe for cats?’), we were now faced with the opposite dilemma – would the new pond inhabitants and daily pond visitors be safe from our cats?

    February 11, 2021 /

     Can a cat and tortoise live together? The short answer is, yes, cats and tortoises can live together. However, it is highly recommended that care and precautions are taken to ensure safety for both species. Cats and tortoises are not natural enemies, but neither are they naturally friends. There is likely to be an element of curiosity, wariness and they may simply just not know what to make of each other. Kittens are known to be very agile and playful and will investigate anything and everything that twitches or moves. Seeing a tortoise peeking its head from its shell will be an invite for an inquisitive kitten. A kitten could…

    What is a Tomcat? And 9 other Tomcat questions answered

    January 9, 2021 /

    What is a Tomcat? A tomcat is a domesticated male cat. Specifically, they are sexually active adult male cats that have not been neutered. Because of this, they will roam in search of a female cat in heat. They will not hesitate to encroach on another male’s territory to seek a female to mate with. They will also not hesitate to fight if needed, to win the attention of a female. The name ‘Tom’ is believed to have been associated with young male kittens as far back as the 1300’s. But the term ‘Tomcat’ became widely used and recognised from 1760 onwards. It stems from a cat character in a…
