Basically, play with your cat. Seriously, it's important. (Link to video on how to in comments) "Behavioural changes associated w/distress in cats were reported when play was absent. Play may be an important factor in assessing and maintaining cat welfare"https://t.co/o8iFdDPidB

Why are humans so often attracted to animals that are ‘ugly’? Why do we think so many are ‘cute’, despite their looks reflecting genetic mutations that predispose them to health problems? I contributed to this @BBCFuture article exploring these questions 🔍https://t.co/Wqxw15xV1X

@_oliviaep talks #UFAW2023 delegates through research which aimed to identify risk factors for three forms of abnormal repetitive behaviours (ARBs) (light/shadow chasing, hallucinatory fly-snapping and tail chasing) in dogs

[Science for Animal Welfare @SciFAW_1926]

Maria Jackson advises that rabbits with erect ears or normocephalic skull shapes have an equally high prevalence of dental disease as lop-eared and brachycephalic breeds and should not be overlooked in practice, based on the findings of a recent study #UFAW2023

Each of us has an animal welfare footprint, akin to a carbon footprint; the size of which is linked to our everyday decisions and purchases, and which we should similarly strive to reduce. Congrats to @RSPCA_official for their latest #AnimalKindnessIndex

[Liv Edgar-Price @_oliviaep]

I'm really looking forward to presenting at #UFAW2023 tomorrow! It's my first time disseminating my project findings externally and it's such an honour to be talking alongside so many talented scientists.

🛜 Microchipping your cat can help you be reunited if they become lost. Ask your vet about it. In the UK, microchipping your cat will be required by 10 June 2024. Owners could face a fine of £500 if they don’t 🙀

REMEMBER, keep details updated ❗️

In a historic moment for animal welfare, we’re welcoming news today that the Government is completely banning the use of remote controlled electric shock collars in England, as of 1 February 2024, following our ten year campaign. To find out more, visit https://t.co/IqVcDsD14s

To assess ethical acceptability of the #GrandNational & horseracing, as we must as a humane nation, we need to fully understand & account for the #AnimalWelfare costs. This isn't the same as 'how much the horses are loved'.

Beyond deaths & whip use, those costs include: (1/3)

I have nothing but contempt for the people that create these poor animals bred to suffer.

My cat, Bertie, has been featured in the most recent @AnimalCareTrust Paws and Hooves magazine about his blood donation and they even included some quotes from me! You can read it here: https://t.co/QRlEHNw2IK and go to pages 4-6 for my quotes and a cute picture of Bertie!😻

[TheVetShopBoys @vet_boys]

A client came in today to ask if we would inject her dog with this to help with pyometra. We obviously declined and told her to avoid this like the plague. Anyone heard of it? Apparently only £300 per bottle or £500 for two bottles! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
