Care through the year
Spring
Ask your vet about flea prevention. Lilies arrive in spring bouquets: keep them out of the house.
Summer
Never leave a pet in a parked car. Walk in the cool of the day; hot pavement burns paws.
Autumn
Shut windows and check the dryer before running it: cats like warm hiding places.
Winter
Antifreeze is sweet and deadly: clean up spills. Keep holiday lilies and tinsel away.

A moggy is any cat which has not been intentionally bred. Moggies lack a consistent appearance unlike purebred cats that are selectively bred for appearance conforming to a standard. In contexts where cats need to be registered—such as in veterinary practices or shelters—moggies may be called domestic short-haired (DSH) or domestic long-haired (DLH) cats, depending on coat length (and less common designations may include "domestic medium-haired (DMH)" or "domestic semi-long-haired").
