Cats in Whangarei District to be desexed and microchipped

Our Health and Bylaws Manager, Reiner Mussle, has been part of the team to put this together. “Desexing cats will cut down on unwanted litters and strays which prey on native birds and lizards to survive. Desexed cats are also less likely to roam and get injured fighting with other cats. Cats' microchips registered with Companion Animals New Zealand can be returned more easily if they get lost.”

We’ll be taking an educative approach to this issue rather than taking a hard line with enforcement. This means working with owners to encourage them to microchip, register and desex their cats, and connecting them with other community resources to do this if needed. It’s about encouraging responsible cat ownership.

During the recent review of our Animals Bylaw the public

told us they wanted greater controls for cats. We received over 1300 submissions about cats, with very strong support for cat microchipping and desexing 🙀

3 Tips To Sleep Better.

While some individuals have no trouble going asleep at night, others find it difficult. Those who suffer from chronic insomnia or who have difficulty falling asleep sometimes may benefit from the following exercise.

Yoga Nidra
Most people already know that yoga and meditation promote serenity and awareness, but many are unaware that they can also encourage a healthy sleep pattern. Yoga nidra, also known as yogic sleep, is a type of guided meditation that is done while laying still in savasana or similar comfortable reclined position.

Revamp Your Bed
Research proves sleeping on a mattress that is too soft or too firm can lead to muscular discomfort, causing wakefulness during the night. Using an old pillow or one that is the wrong firmness or shape for your preferred sleep position can have a similar effect. If you find that you cannot get comfortable in your bed or wake up often throughout the night, replacing your pillow or mattress could help.

Clean Your Bedroom
Because there is a link between a crowded bedroom and a cluttered mind, it stands to reason that sleeping in a tidy bedroom can enhance sleep and minimize racing thoughts. Organizing and tidying your room can help you relax at the end of the day to snuggle into a beautifully made bed.
