1. Inner Peace:
This is so true
If you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without alcohol,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
...Then You Are Probably .........
THE FAMILY DOG
Childhood pets always tend to be looked on fondly and helping to look after a pet gives children a sense of responsibility from early on in life. Invest a little time into mixing the two as a little education and organisation will stand you in good stead. From getting the kids involved in grooming to taking your cat to veterinary hospitals for any worming or flea treatments, make a checklist and get prepared for the arrival of your new pet.
Before the cat arrives
Before you bring a new cat home, put a few measures in place that will help to prepare children in the house. If your child is old enough, explain how to stroke the cat and make sure they know to handle the new furry addition to the home.
Remember some cats and kittens are sensitive about their stomachs being touched so take it slowly to ensure scratches are avoided. Make sure kids know they shouldn’t chase the cat or pull its tail.
It’s also important to ensure your new cat is up to date on worming and flea treatments, as well as any other required medications. A quick health check with the veterinarian is ideal and you could use this opportunity to have your cats claws trimmed, making it safer for children and babies.
Once the cat has arrived
Once your new, feline friend arrives at home, give it some time to get accustomed to the new surroundings before introducing to the kids.
Supervise any interaction between cat and child until you feel comfortable that the little ones understand how to handle and play with the new pet. Young children shouldn’t pick up or carry cats until strong enough to do so properly.
Getting the kids involved in grooming the cat is a good way for the pair to bond. Get kids into the habit of washing their hands after stroking or grooming the cat.

This is Juliette, She is a playful, young madam full of mischief who needs a home. She was abandoned after being clipped and sprayed with pink hair-dye and was terrified. As you can now see, she is very fond of cuddles and any kind of attention! Her hair has completely grown back and she looks beautiful.
Please contact Nepean Animal Hospital on 02 8999 5140 if you are interested or know of anybody who may be interested in giving Juliette a new home.
