Italy
Italy is a very dog-friendly country, where you’ll have no trouble finding cafes and restaurants happy for you to dine with your dog by your side. There’s plenty of outdoor seating so you can enjoy the weather, and dogs are commonly spotted exploring shops, markets and malls with their owners.

It’s also very simple to travel around this beautiful country with your pooch. Small dogs travel for free on all of the Trenitalia Trains, the main train network of Italy, and they’re welcome on all other forms of public transport. With a wide choice of pet-friendly villas and hotels, visiting Italy with your dog is a must for any sight-seeing family.

France
There are a couple of extra things you’ll need if you want to take your dog to France, including an Animal Health Certificate which needs to be signed off by a veterinarian. No matter where you’re headed, be sure to always check with the latest travel and government offices to ensure you have all of the necessary paperwork to travel abroad with your pet.
As a whole, France is a very welcoming country for our four-legged friends. There’s some stunning pet-friendly accommodation to be found, as well as plenty of amenities such as restaurants and beaches where you can enjoy the scenery and exquisite local cuisine with your dog in tow.

Switzerland

The majestic mountains, alpine forests and glorious hiking trails of Switzerland draw visitors from near and far, and they offer some of the best walks you could ever take with your dog.
Again, the country is largely dog-friendly, with plenty of available accommodation and eateries happy to accommodate all species. Be sure to always follow the local rules whenever taking your dog out and about in this picturesque country, as many trails require dogs to be kept on leads to protect wildlife. For as little as 25 francs, you can purchase a ticket to travel on public transport with your pooch if you don’t fancy hiring a car.

What a great mix of work and pleasure! Business brings us often to Belgrade but spending the whole weekend at Metropole, together with my dog Mila was just perfect. She enjoyed the room equipment which includes beside the bed and bowl, a special gift box with accessories for your pet.

Well located, just by one of the biggest parks in the city, with few conference halls, great rooftop restaurant and spa offers ultimate luxury experience.

Misconceptions about cat behaviour

One of the most common misconceptions about cat behaviour is that cats are solitary animals that do not need social interaction. Although it is true that cats are independent, they still need socialisation and interaction with their owners. Another misconception is that cats are aloof and not affectionate. While some cats may not like to be held or cuddled, they still show affection in their own ways, since all cats have unique personalities and will respond differently to stimuli and situations. Understanding these misconceptions can help you better understand your cat’s behaviour.

It is also important to note that cats communicate differently than humans. They use body language, vocalisations, and behavioural cues to express themselves. Learning how to read your cat’s communication cues can help you understand its needs and emotions.

Common feline behaviours and what they mean

It is usual for cats to display a wide range of behaviours when interacting with humans or other cats, and each behaviour can convey their emotions and needs to their owners. However, there are some cat behaviours that are more common. For example, when a cat rubs against your leg, it is marking you with its scent, indicating that you are part of its territory. When a cat presses its paws against you, it can be a sign of affection, whereas purring can indicate happiness and relaxation.

Vocalisations are also an essential part of feline communication, and cats are known to use different sounds and intonations to communicate with each other and their owners when seeking attention or food. Adult cats typically only meow at humans, not at other cats, as most communication between cats occurs through touch, body language, and facial expressions.

Common cat behavioural problems and how to address them

Cats can develop a wide range of behavioural problems, which are usually due to stress, boredom, or health problems. One of the most common behavioural problems in cats is litter box issues. Cats are known to be picky about where they do their business and may refuse to use their litter box, which can be frustrating for pet owners. However, this behaviour can be addressed by making changes to the litter box setup or through training.

Another common behavioural problem in cats is aggression. Cats may become aggressive toward their owners or other pets in the household, which may be a sign of fear, territorial aggression, or stress. It is a good idea to be aware of and avoid situations that cause your pet cat to become aggressive. If your cat is aggressive toward other pets, try reintroducing them gradually while using treats or toys as distractions.

Tips for bonding with your cat

If you want to build a strong relationship with your cat, communication is key. Here are some tips to help you bond with your feline friend:

* Set aside time every day to spend with your cat, whether it’s playing, grooming, or simply sitting next to them and petting them. Engage in activities that your cat enjoys and respond to their cues.

*Cats communicate in many ways, so it’s important to understand some of the most common body language, vocalisations, and behavioural cues to know when they’re happy, anxious, or in need of attention. For instance, if your cat is twitching their tail, it might be feeling agitated or irritated. On the other hand, if they’re purring and rubbing against you, they’re likely content and seeking affection.

*Positive reinforcement is an effective training technique that involves rewarding good behaviour with treats, toys, or praise. This encourages your cat to associate good behaviour with treats and can contribute to the development of a positive bond between you and your pet. For instance, if your cat uses their scratching post instead of your furniture, reward them with a treat or toy to reinforce this behaviour.

*A safe and comfortable environment is essential for your cat’s well-being. Make sure they have access to fresh water, food, and a comfortable place to sleep. Also, provide them with toys and other forms of enrichment to keep them entertained and stimulated, especially if you are away from home for long periods of time.

To sum it all up

Cats are fascinating pets with their own unique communication style. By taking the time to understand your cat’s behaviour, you can ensure that they receive the proper care and establish a strong connection with your feline pet. One of the best ways to do this is to learn how to interpret your cat’s communication cues, which can include observing their body language, vocalisations, and behavioural patterns. This can provide you with valuable insights into their needs and emotions. Also remember to spend quality time playing, grooming, and showing affection to your cat. To ensure your cat’s health and well-being, you should give them a safe and comfortable environment that includes food, water, and a cosy place to sleep.

Getting pet insurance for cats is also a wise investment for most owners when it comes to protecting the health of their feline pets, as it allows you to cover the costs of any unexpected veterinary expenses that may arise. It can be especially important if your cat is particularly adventurous or active, or if they already have a chronic health issue that requires regular medical care.

We visited this hotel during the Easter holidays! It was such nice weather to enjoy the lake and nature! Also, you can let your pet enjoy and run around as there is no traffic, just few cafes and restaurants that help you to have no need to sit in your car during the visit. If you decide to move a little and visit the city of Subotica, it is just on 10 minutes drive.

Natasa and Nikola are great hosts. Super friendly and caring. Apartment is very nice, equipped with everything you need and clean. Upon my arrival, a full fridge was waiting for me. At the back there is an amazing private and peaceful garden with jacuzzi/hot tub and grill. Location is perfect for cycling trips in the area. Parking for bikes and cars is available at the property. Highly recommended!

We visited the hotel several times during our Montenegro tours. We would drive from beach to beach, from Boka Kotorska, Lustica, Tivat and Kotor all the way to Ulcinj and Sveti Stefan. We certainly don't like the same environment every day and from here, you can be around shortly. The beach bar Ploce is close by, where there is an all-day party and, of course, they are pet friendly.
