www.vetnpetdirect.com.au | 7 Feliway. Scientifically proven to reduce stress in cats. IS YOUR CAT STRESSED? WE HAVE JUST THE SOLUTION BREEDBREAKDOWN APPEARANCE: Their most apparent feature is their small tightly folded ears. The ear flap is folded forward and down, completely covering the ear opening. They are a medium, solid build cat usually weighing between 3-6kgs. Their short dense coat comes in a wide range of colour combinations. TEMPERAMENT: They are sweet, gentle and affectionate cats. Good with children and other pets. They like to follow people around and are very talkative but in a soft, small voice. AVERAGE LIFE SPAN: 12-15 years MAINTENANCE: They are low shedding and their short coat doesn't require any special care, just a semi-regular brush to remove dead hair. Their folded ears can be hard for them to self clean, so owners should regularly check their ears and sometimes clean them. SUITS: Most households as they are easy to get along with and adapt to most situations. INTERESTING FACT: Not all Scottish Folds have folded ears; some have normal pointed ears. Scottish Fold Cats can not see directly below their head/ nose. This is why they cannot see food or treats when put directly under their nose. Stray or wandering cats can often be a problem, especially in suburban areas. Having a stray cat coming around your house can cause your own cat to become unsettled and distressed. Even if you haven't seen them, your cat may have, or even smelt their scent around. If your cat does become anxious due to the unwanted visitor you can use a repellent or deterrent like Aristopet Home & Garden Repellent for Dogs & Cats, that you can spray around the yard and house to keep them away. You could also try Feliway Spray or Diffuser to help calm your cat. Feliway is a synthetic copy of the feline facial pheromones that cats use to mark objects in their environment. By mimicking the facial pheromones it helps comfort the cat, giving them a sense of familiarity and making them feel safe and secure. If a cat is hanging around your house constantly you can contact your local council animal control department to see if they can help. {Stray Cats Causing Upset}
