Title: Is your kittens aged 8-16 weeks?
Post by: Jane Murray on April 05, 2013, 16:36:32 PM
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.

Over 1700 kittens and cats are involved in the study and the researchers would particularly like to hear from owners who give raw foods to their cats to help investigate the benefits of feeding a raw food diet.  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 www.bristol.ac.uk/vetscience/cats or contact the team by telephone 07827 981412 or email, cat-study@bristol.ac.uk.

Thank you!

:)

Over 1700 kittens and cats have enrolled with the study since 2010.  This year, the researchers would  particularly like to hear from owners who give raw foods to their cats to help investigate the benefits of feeding a raw food diet, but all kittens within the age range are welcome to join.  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!

Morning everyone :)

The 'Bristol Cats' study team at Bristol University are continuing to encourage owners of kittens aged 8-16 weeks   to enrol in a vital study of cat health, welfare and behaviour.  Kitten owners have the unique opportunity to take part in the first-of-its-kind research to help improve knowledge of common behaviour patterns and diseases of cats.  Wouldn't it be great if we could answer many of the health-related questions posted to this page?! 

The team are recruiting until 31st December 2013.  Would you like to take part?  Please see the post below for more details...

 :thanks:

P.S. Over 1900  kittens have enrolled so far! A big 'Thank you' to all those who are already participating :)
