Would you like to help set the agenda to move the One
Welfare concept foreword? The One Welfare concept acknowledges the inextricable
links between the welfare and wellbeing of humans, animals and the environment.
One Welfare World is consulting with people around the
world to determine appropriate terminology and parameters for One Welfare. You
can have your say until April 30.
If you want to learn more about the development of this
concept, download the papers here.
A recent project I’ve been involved with is a discussion
about the welfare needs of cats. As part of this I’ve been visiting households
where people have made modifications to better accommodate the needs of their
cats, including outdoor enclosures for otherwise indoor cats, variations on the
standard litter tray to accommodate cats who like privacy or those who like to
party in the litter, nooks to hide and places to climb.
 |
| Sam and Atticus enjoy use of litter trays with high sides. |
 |
| This cat-proofed balcony ensures that cats can enjoy the view without succumbing to "high rise syndrome". |
It’s been a fantastic
experience. If you have any photos of feline-friendly modifications you’re
happy to share, drop us a line.
