Mars Petcare UK Pet Food Recall
On the 15th of January 2021 Mars Petcare UK is recalling several of its dog food products because they may contain high levels of vitamin D.

Keep Tigger's newspaper going
As you all know (or may not know if you are a new reader) I am not a professional writer, repawter or newshound.

There has always been a problem with animal theft and most of us are aware of it and take a lot of precautions to prevent it.
Due to the covid lockdown there has been an increased demand for puppies and kittens.

Pet Blood Bank UK - become a donor
New venues throughout the UK

Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) , strains H5N1 and H5N8, has been confirmed in several areas throughout the UK.

The Chief Veterinary Officers for England, Scotland and Wales have agreed to bring in new measures to help protect poultry and captive birds, following a number of cases of avian influenza in both wild and captive birds in the UK.

Touch Training
The type of touch training I mean is the ability of your human to touch or inspect you closely without you flinching or trying to dodge away.

In April 2018, Defra updated the Code of Practice for the welfare of cats (the Code) for England with the collaboration of Cats Protection and others. They now wish to make the microchipping of cats compulsory.

Honey bees contribute directly to local food production and make a very important contribution, through pollination, to crop production and the wider environment.

Let's finish 2020 with a smile
So that everyone could finish this year with a smile, I found some bizarre laws. BOL!

Wallabies in the UK

After seeing a video of a wallaby bouncing along a road on social media recently, so I did some researched to see if anyone had lost one.
I was really surprised at what I found.

Current Bills under discussion in UK Parliament
Animal Welfare (Sentencing) Bill.
The current law states that any human found guilty of animal cruelty can face up to six months in prison.
The Government is reviewing the proposal to change it so that humans found guilty will face up to five years in prison.
The second reading was heard in the House of Commons on the 23rd October 2020.

Barking is always a strange subject with humans.
They expect us to be totally silent, yet they bark to other humans all of the time. They call their barks speaking, but it is the same thing.

Growing Cats in the greenhouse

Repawter: Jessie ( a.k.a. Loonylankylegs)

Most humans grow plants, or veggies in their greenhouses, but not my human - she is pretty good at growing cats!
Yes, cats you heard right!  

Businesses re-opening after lockdown

Businesses are beginning to re-open after the lockdown. Here are some changes that businesses may have had to adapt as the new normal.
Not all businesses and services will be doing things exactly the same way, so always check before you visit.

Face coverings for humans in England 
Repawter: Tigger

From the 24th of July it became compulsory to wear masks or face coverings at certain times when out and about in England. Humans need to check what laws are applicable in their country.

Training - Possession with Toys
Although I am covering my possession with toys in this article, sometimes resolving toy possession can help with possession with other things..

What is toy possession? Toy possession is an extreme compulsion to grab and hold a toy or other object that can get that intense that you become aggressive due to your focus on the toy or object. 

Cold Pressed Food

Primula Cheese Product Recall

Compost Bin.

Some gardens have a compost heap or compost bin.

Why have a compost bin?
This is a great way to let garden waste, and some uncooked kitchen waste, rot down and provide new compost to use in the garden.

Hedges, Fences and walls.

Most gardens have either a hedge, fence or a wall surrounding it.
Depending on who owns the hedge, there are several options to secure the area.
The first problem is to establish who owns the hedges, fences or walls surrounding your garden.
It is good to regularly check the perimeter of gardens for damage or entry/exit points that have started appearing..
Hedges are a bit harder to secure as they are a growing plant and will have natural holes and gaps everywhere.
