Important

Always bin the leftovers

Juno rarely finishes his food. Before serving a new meal:

  1. Grab a small bag from the cupboard
  2. Pick up the leftovers with itlike a dog poop bag
  3. Tie the bag and put it in the general waste
  4. Clean the bowl

Why? So the leftovers don’t end up loose in the bin.

Where?

Favourite toy

Dental floss

The moment you pull it out, Juno is right there next to you.

How it works
  1. Pull out a piece of dental floss
  2. Walk around the flat with itHe pretty much always chases after it.
  3. Put the floss away afterwardsDon’t leave it lying around. Swallowed floss is dangerous for cats.
