Cat 101

What every Calgary cat owner should know.

Plain-language explainers · external sources
01
Indoor vs. outdoor in Calgary.
Outdoor cats live ~5x shorter than indoor. Coyotes, cars, owls, winter. The Calgary cat-keeping consensus has shifted; here's why.
SOURCE · Alberta SPCA
02
Calgary cat licensing.
Calgary requires cats over three months to be licensed. Microchip + ID is the cheapest insurance against losing them.
SOURCE · City of Calgary
03
Declawing - illegal in Alberta vets.
The Alberta Veterinary Medical Association banned routine declaw in 2020. Why, what's done instead, and what to ask your vet.
SOURCE · ABVMA
04
Vaccinations and indoor cat math.
Even indoor cats need core vaccines. Why FVRCP and rabies are non-negotiable. What feline leukemia testing looks like.
SOURCE · AHS Vet Network
05
Senior cat care after 10.
When to switch food, what bloodwork to run, the dental decisions in a Calgary climate. The math on quality vs. extending years.
SOURCE · Cat Friendly Practice
06
Trap-Neuter-Return and Calgary's strays.
How TNR works, who runs the local programs, why it matters for shelter intake. Calgary's quietly significant feral cat population.
