If you’re dealing with the loss of a cat, it can be a difficult and emotionally draining time.

Communicating or experiencing signs that your cat is still ‘with’ you after death is not unusual.

What’s the best way to take care of a cat?

Regular brushing of your cat’s coat will get rid of any dead hair and lessen the amount of hairballs that form. Brushing sessions can provide a perfect bonding opportunity for you and your companion cat. Many cats will be happy to sit on your lap or next to you whilst you groom them. Otherwise, you can use a table with a non-slip surface.
