I have a slightly strange, anxious feeling as I’m starting this blog. I guess it may be because I’m worried everyone may think it’s really rather dull. I shall endeavour to make it as undull as possible.
Yesterday I went to the Icatcare congress in Birmingham. Having got up at the crack of dawn on a Saturday to catch the train I was delighted to find myself in a bit of a posh hotel in New Street, sitting next to a collection of other crazy cat people. Icatcare is a marvellous organisation that devotes itself to the welfare, understanding and health of cats and to teaching and helping those who care for them. I have decided to do their diploma in feline friendly nursing next year with the help of my lovely boses.
I have been to their congress for the past five years and this one was the best one yet. There were some fascinating lectures by Sarah Ellis and Martha Cannon, both heros of mine and I got to meet like minded people, eat lots of free food and have a good giggle. I even found myself standing next to Celia Haddon at one point! Plus it gave me 7 hours CPD time for not too much money, always a bonus!
Here is a link to the diploma I am going to do; Feline Friendly Nursing Diploma
This is teeny tiny Blini in our cat tent this evening.
