Michael Edwards B.Vet. Med. M.R.C.V.S., qualified from the Royal Veterinary College, London in 1976. For the past 25 years he has treated domestic pets only. The Cardiff Cat Clinic is the third practice to be established by Mr Edwards.

" I've been to the States to see some cat clinics and liked what I saw. Also, they practice veterinary medicine to a very high standard, so I brought a few ideas home to Cardiff."

The Clinic is housed in Bridge House, and was

designed by Mr Edwards. The Clinic is the first cat clinic in Wales, and, at 2,500 sq ft, the largest in the United Kingdom.

Tucked away in a peaceful environment, Mr

Edwards immediately saw the potential of the site - " I gladly traded visibility for a large on-site car-park. Any client will tell you how vital ample parking is."

The concept of cat-only practices has been unfamiliar to some pet

owners, but there are convincing reasons for their increasing

popularity :

Cats are not small dogs--they have their own unique treatment needs.

Cats are stressed when forced to share an environment with dogs.

Concentrating expertise and resources on one species enhances treatment.

After listing all the reasons for opening the Clinic, Mr Edwards had to admit the main reason, " I think cats make great pets, ideal for modern lifestyles, and I suppose I just like working with them. I've never met a cat I didn't like ! "

Throughout his career, Mr Edwards has had a

special interest in feline medicine, and, with the

increasing number of cats kept as pets, came the

opportunity to open a practice devoted to cats alone.

Although cats are now the world's most popular pets, there are only a handful of feline-only veterinary practices in the UK, compared to about 400 in the USA, and it was to the USA that Mr Edwards turned for inspiration.
