To help you keep your cat safe, here's our vet-approved advice for reducing your cat’s risk of being injured on the road.

Cats love to explore outdoors, and sometimes that means they can encounter dangerous situations, like crossing busy roads. According to a University of Bristol study, the risk of cats being involved in road traffic accidents is actually quite low, especially in urban and suburban areas. Road traffic accidents were stated as a cause of injury for just 4% of cats. To help you keep your cat safe, here’s our vet-approved advice for reducing your cat’s risk of being injured on the road. Getting your cat neutered will mean they’re less likely to stray far from home in search of a mate. Keep your cat indoors at night, as it is more difficult for motorists to see them on the roads at night. Get your cat microchipped and keeping the details up to date will mean you can be contacted quickly when they are found and scanned. Take out pet insurance to cover the cost of the treatment they need to recover, giving you peace of mind that you won’t need to worry about expensive vet bills.
