Normally, it is unwise to feed someone else’s cat unless there is an obvious need to do so. This is a dilemma which confronts probably millions of people in America and hundreds of thousands of people in the UK annually. When cats are allowed to wander outside, they often visit neighbouring homes. The owners …
This is a very short and rather poor-quality video (sorry) that I made of my cat using an interactive feeder. I think that it is worth showing because I was very sceptical about interactive feeders. I wasn’t sure if they were that useful or even if they worked. But I was given one so …
