TAKE CARE OF ALL CATS


AT HALLOWEEN!




Black cats are a well-known symbol of the “scary” things associated with Halloween. Did you know that sources
attribute that to two (not too intelligent) men in the middle-ages, when they thought that an old single woman
was capable of turning into a black cat, and that is how witches and black cats were aligned.

Black cats do not deserve the “unlucky” or
“evil” labels that people with superstitions
may use. We all know that the colour of a kitty
cannot affect its behaviour and that “cat people”
do not exist other than the people who love
caring for kitties in rescue shelters!

Happily today we now treat Halloween, black
cats and witches with a sense of humour and fun.

• Halloween started during the Roman
period (or maybe before?) to honour the
departed.

• Mexico and other countries celebrate
the “Day of the Dead” which these days is a
huge celebration of fun at fairs and with
entertainment troupes.

• And, in the last century western
society has turned this night into a family
celebration, with lots of fun to be had
pretending to be scared and partying.

Just on any firecracker night, or on New
Year’s Eve with the fireworks, we recommend
that you take extra care with all your pets, and
keep them in around the period. Unfortunately Fun attributes of black cats:
there are people we cannot trust who will hurt • Black is always “in” & considered stylish & sophisticated
any animal regardless of its colour. • You can boast to people you own a baby panther or jaguar!
• Black fur shouldn’t show on your black dress, black jumper,
black furniture, black….
Biggest myth about black cats:
they bring bad luck or are evil. FEATURING HARPER: Pure black, glossy, handsome….

How to keep your cat


happy & safe




We strongly promote that our adopted kitties are kept
safe indoors and in outdoor enclosures.

NSW local councils have commenced bringing in their own requirements for containing Written by
cats to owners’ properties 24/7. These needs vary by each council, however the intent is Deb Rouse
shared: your cat should not roam off your property, and to keep wildlife safe. We strongly
support these changes as this also means greater Email Deb: cats@

Come to the DR cattery and
Many people struggle to accept that their cat will be happy in their own

are applied environment every day. Please consider my hints to keep cats happy and
stimulated, while also being safe indoors and in outdoor enclosures.


Top hints for

happy cats


Provide a room with a view - a “cat TV”


Many people are now aware of how important a window with
a view is, to keep a cat entertained. A view applies to indoor
spaces and also to outdoor enclosures. A cat is a working
animal, and their senses should be “worked” to keep a cat
stimulated and happy. This means sights, sounds, smells/
scents, textures for their touch and even tastes.

A view may consist of:

• your normal street activity or even the neighbours ’
gardens,
• a part of your garden with plants to attract birds and
butterflies, and
• a bird feeder or one or more shallow water bowls to
attract bees, birds and lizards.

You may be kind to native animals providing food and outdoors which catches
fresh water, and these animals are safe from your cats the sun and from where
and your cats are safe from the other animals. she can watch the action.

Let your cat be “up in the air”

Cats love being high up, especially when they can look down
on us mere mortals. Cats instinctively feel safe when they are
in a high position and also concealed.














Zig loves to jump up the shelves in the cat
room & look down on us once she gets there



Bring the outside in

There are several ways to bring in a stimulating
environment:
• have sunny spots and spots with shades
• include pots of cat grass, cat mint & cat nip
• include multiple scratchy poles and pads,
especially different vertical or horizontal
types made of different materials
• consider a water feature: a simple shallow
bowl, perhaps to include a small solar
• You may build your own cat shelves and ramps or just fountain
place cat stands and furniture (such as tables and
shelves) together, to provide the cats ability to jump These items can easily be added to a room or
up in steps or stages. And also jump down. an outdoor enclosure.
• Cats need several flat surfaces, large enough to safely
sleep there.
• Hammocks are also useful to provide multiple high levels
and sleeping places. You can make your own from
synthetic canvas, shade-cloth, or other material, they can
be rectangles or triangles or any shape. Ensure they are
fastened safely. Ensure cats can easily and safely get in
and out of the hammocks.

part of this article on keeping your kitty happy, Levi loves her grass…

Well established fact about black
cats: they are least likely to be
adopted because of superstitions
and also as they are not easy to
photograph well.

In Scotland, they believe a strange
black cat turning up on your door
step is a sign of prosperity to come,
in British fishing villages wives kept
a black cat to ensure their
husbands safely returned from sea
trips, and in Japan black cats are
just generally considered good
luck… let’s all follow these beliefs
and welcome a new black kitty to
our home!
