Caring for your cat in Edinburgh

Edinburgh-specific tips every cat owner should know

Edinburgh winds

Edinburgh is one of the UK's windiest cities. If your cat has garden access, ensure your sitter checks that gates and cat-flaps are secure in stormy weather. The Forth wind can be particularly fierce in autumn and winter.

Scottish winters

Edinburgh winters can be harsh, with frost from November through March. Ensure your sitter maintains consistent indoor warmth and knows where your cat's favourite warm spots are.

Fringe and Festival noise

The Edinburgh Festival in August brings significant noise and crowds to the city centre. If your cat is noise-sensitive, discuss management strategies with your sitter and ensure windows are kept closed during the loudest events.
