Your Cat  |  Your Cat Magazine August 2015
Welcome to the August issue of Your Cat magazine!
We all love a cuddle with a cat, but how 'cuddly' should our cats be? And would you know how to tell if your cat is overweight? If you have a slightly portly puss, turn to our 'Keeping kitty fit' in our August issue where we guide you through some easy exercises to do at home with your cat — you'll both be in purrfect shape in no time!
If you've ever wondered how lions and tigers manage to keep their waistlines trim in captivity, read our interview with big cat keeper Briony Smith in this issue. Zoo keepers have to be pretty inventive when it comes to feeding and enrichment — and plenty of Briony's tips could be used for our own little cats too! Did you know that lions like fishing rod-style toys and cardboard boxes, too?!
If your cat suffers with a health issue — whether it's stiff joints, reoccurring urinary problems or he just needs a helping hand to get him through the ageing process — don't miss our buyer's guide to health supplements this month. Remember though, it's still imperative that you visit your vet if you are at all concerned about your cat's health and behaviour.
For injured cats found in Nottinghamshire, one charity is providing an essential lifeline with its own 'animal ambulance'! Download this issue to find out how you can support the Animal Accident Rescue Unit — or perhaps even become part of its network of extraordinary fosterers and volunteers. If you have fostered cats for a charity or volunteer for a rescue centre, please do tell us all about it by emailing catchat@yourcat.co.uk — we love to hear about readers who go the extra mile for animal welfare!
Finally, don't miss this month's fabulous array of freebies and book giveaways. We've even got a fantastic competition to win a vacuum cleaning kit worth over £1,400, courtesy of Vorwerk!
As per usual, the August issue is also packed with health and behaviour Q&As, puzzles, short stories and gorgeous pictures of our readers' cats!
