Cat-sitters become playmates
YOU may have had cats yourself, and know cats that demand a playmate. Well Talisker is one such cat. His owners find petsitters to care for him at home and then leave for their holidays. What the unsuspecting catsitters don’t realise is quite how demanding this intelligent feline can be. Challenging and fun Talisker will always need new petsitters.
Our housesitting and petsitting network can help pet owners meet great checked petsitters, and secure care for their pets, for free, no matter where they are!
If you are planning a trip later this year, register now to find petsitters in time. Even if it’s just a short trip, you’ll know that sometimes you just have to leave pets at home. Young and senior pets in particular benefit from staying in their own home, so they can follow their routines undis turbed. Let us help.

Pine processionary caterpillars
BETWEEN the months of February and April the processionaries (pine caterpillars) migrate from their nests (bags) in the pines to their burial area to form the chrysalis that will rise to the butterflies at the end of summer. Sometimes it can happen earlier, so from January you have to be careful.
The fact they go in procession on the ground attracts dogs, not so much cats. The hairs released by caterpillars contain a capsule with a toxin called ‘taumatopein.’ Hair in contact with the skin or mucosa of dogs releases the toxin causing severe swelling, generally on the face, lips, mouth and tongue, in these cases causing the dog to scratch its face and salivation.
If the contact with the toxin has been intense, it can cause severe necrosis and infection of the tissues with loss, for ex ample, of part of the tongue.
It can sometimes cause severe laryngeal edema that can even lead to death. Eye injuries can also occur. This can occur not only by getting close to the caterpillars but also by the release of hairs into the environment from the bags of the pines by the wind.
If you live near pine trees or after a walk in a pine forest, observe these symptoms in your dog, if possible wash your dog’s mouth thoroughly with water. Use gloves since there may be hairs without releasing the toxin which can cause irritation to your hands and arms. Go to the vet for treatment.
