Cats, like people, have behavioural problems if they are not properly socialised when they are young. So a Glasgow-born veterinarian has done something about it.

Not only did Margaret Bradley establish Hong Kong's first cat hospital in Central, she recently set up a kitten kindergarten.

'While puppy parties are common, cats are neglected,' says the 41-year-old vet, whose practice is called Nine Lives.

Dr Bradley says that, just like people, mental happiness plays an important role in cats' lives too.

'Kittens need to be socialised at a young age or they will always be scared of new circumstances when they grow up. Contrary to popular belief, cats can be trained to obey their owners too.'

Five kittens were in the first intake for the kindergarten, set up in February, and while the felines were being friendly and frisky with each other, the owners were taught cat care.
