The secret life of cats
Ever thought about what your cat might be getting up to when it leaves home for the day?
Well, wonder no more. A brand new "live study" is to hit our screens, allowing us to find out their every movement beyond the cat-flap.
At 9pm on Thursday 13 June, BBC2 will air The Secret Life of Cats as part of its scientific Horizon series.
During the programme, academics from the University of Lincoln will share their study, which features 50 cats from a village in Surrey being put under 24-hour surveillance.
The cats, which were fitted with GPS collars and cat-cams, were recorded as they hunted, patrolled and frolicked in the outdoors.
Dr Sarah Ellis, one of the study's leaders from Lincoln's School of Life Sciences, said: "We collected a huge amount of data simultaneously over the course of a week, which is potentially the greatest data-set of this sort collected from pet cats."
The programme will also look at vocalisations and relationships with owners. A follow-up to the main broadcast can be seen at 10pm on Friday 14 June.
The RCVS has announced a new version of its 1CPD mobile app, with enhanced features for veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses to record their continuing professional development.
