Wonderful news!  You'll have a house full of fun!

my Karlo is also a Bristol cat and when we get Keshet and Kgosi in a few weeks they will also be signed up!

Thanks for your support. 

I just wanted to confirm that we want owners of ALL kittens (aged 8-16 weeks) to sign up: pedigrees, moggies, kittens taken in from strays, etc!  So, please don't think that this study doesn't apply to you if you have a young kitten.

Thank you!
Jane

C'mon chaps - if anyone can, please participate in the study.  It's well worthwhile for the welfare of cats long term.  Young Ross Foo Fighter Extraordinaire signed up, but the study particularly needs owners of previously stray or feral kittens to help with their research.

Hi

If you have a kitten aged 8-16 weeks and you are at least 18 years old and live in the UK, researchers at the University of Bristol would love to hear from you. They are undertaking an exciting questionnaire-based study designed to help improve the health and welfare of cats.

The 'Bristol Cats' team aim to recruit another 600 kittens in 2012. All kittens are welcome, including pedigree and non-pedigree breeds, littermates and multiple kittens from the same household. We would particularly like to hear from owners of previous stray or feral kittens as these are currently under-represented on our study. Being involved in the 'Bristol Cats' study will take very little time, but will really make a difference to cats in the future - please help!

For more information and a link to the first questionnaire, please visit our website Bristol University | Bristol Veterinary School | 'Bristol Cats' Study or contact the team by telephone 07827 981412 or email, cat-study@bristol.ac.uk.
