TIP OF THE MONTH – Evacuation supplies for Cats

Hurricane season is approaching. So if you are in an area prone to hurricanes, NOW is the time to start planning what you will do with your cat when the storm strikes.

It’s a good idea to put together a cat emergency disaster kit. Mind you, this is not to be confused with the disaster kit needed when your cat is the disaster maker. Make sure to rotate perishables with fresh items on a regular basis.

Here goes:

• Medications, medical records, and information sheet that lists any medical conditions or behavior problems. Make sure you store them in a waterproof container.
• Up-to-date photographs and descriptions of your cats.
• Collars, ID tags, leashes and cat harnesses.
• Cat carrier. One for each cat.
• Food and water for at least three days per pet, plus bowls for the food and water.
• Litter box and cat litter.
• Cat bed and toys are good stress reducers for your cat.
• Names and numbers of your veterinarian.
• Phone numbers of your friends nearby, in case you lose your cat.
• Make a list of boarding facilities and veterinary offices, incl. 24-hour telephone numbers.
• Find an evactuation site AHEAD of time. Most shelters don’t accept pets. Make a list of pet-friendly places.
• Other useful items you may want: paper towels, spray cleaners trash bags, grooming items, handy wipes, bleach and othercleaning solutions.
• Oh! And don’t forget to list a family member of friend who can assist you should become incapacitated.

Some of this information was modified from the Cat Tails Newsletter.

Listener Comments:

In response to my Cat Podcasts blog, Shelli wrote: “Hey Marc – there is also the Purina podcast, ‘Animal Advice’. It’s not 100% dedicated to cats – in fact, sometimes you get the random ferret or iguana question – but it does have lots of cat stuff. I just found it a bit long to listen to (it’s like an hour).”

If you enjoy my music or this podcast, then I like to ask a small favor in each show. Because your help in promoting this album will insure there is a follow-up CD. Here is the music promotion tip of the week:

Go to the shownotes at www.catmusicblog.com where you will find a press release announcing the release of my cat CD. Copy the press release, then email or fax it to your local newspaper or media outlet.I sent this press release out earlier this year and attracted the attention of a few newspapers and radio stations. Unfortunately, many local papers slip through the loop.

After about a week or two, follow-up on the press release and ask if the newspaper got it and is interested in writing about it. Of course, they can always call or email me to find out more about the album.

“I just discovered your podcast, and I love it! I have 8 cats (and a dog… and a hamster), ages 7 years to 6 months.Re: Podcast #8, Scratching post discussion… I’ve also found that cats are more likely to use a tripod-style scratching post. I think the angled scratching surface is more comfortable. I bought my cats the Booda Track ‘n Scratch Cat Gym for Christmas, and they love it. It’s a great example of this type of scratching post, although I think it would be fairly easy to just make your own.”

“I made my husband cry with your cd! My husband Craig obtained his Irish dual citizenship last year and loves his heritage. He also is quite fond of a good beer and a cute drinking song so the CD was perfect. We will both be volenteering at the Irish festival in March at Fair park and wanted to know if you would be performing? Keep us up to date! Love the Lord of the Pounce! I had dogs growing up. Hubby has made a lover outta of me! We would love to buy you a beer at the festival! let us know!”

Go to one cat community online. Be it a cat forum or a yahoogroup, or whatever. Drop the group an email and ask them if they’ve heard of Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers. Tell them to go to check it out at www.CatDrinkingSongs.com. And tell them how much your love the CD. This won’t take much time to do, but the final result will be tremendous. Thanks!

Email about Softpaws
I got the following email from Les Howard of The Signal Firefly Podcast regarding SoftPaws from my last podcast:
“I have been using softpaws with my cats for around 6 years now. At first, the cat’s didn’t like them at all and were tearing them off quickly. This required me to check them frequently and replace any missing ones. However, after a few weeks the cats adjusted to them and now they don’t seem to mind at all.”
