Cats and leads
I have a cat that I think is an Egyptian Mau. She is an indoor cat, as I live in a flat without access to a garden, however I have read that Maus are one of the few breeds that take to being walked on a lead.

Jack Russell
I'm a cat lover - I freely admit that. I'm also allergic to most if not all sweet and fluffy things including dogs. However I do like them (I'm not a fan of being licked though). My fiance is a bit of a dog lover - I've converted her to cats but even so I'd enjoy taking a pet out for walks etc and you do get ever so many…

Getting to the end of my tether.
I was hoping someone might have some suggestions as to what I can do with one of my cats - it's a bit long!

Cat sick
When I got home from work this morning I found the cat had been sick on the carpet. She had been eating a wet fish cat food and there is still a bit of the smell about. I cleaned the area with some multisurface cleaner but obviously need to do something else to get rid of the smell so what do you guys suggest?
