Hi all, My pet insurance for my cat is due for renewal within the next few days. Despite no claims, the policy has gone up since last year.

A Warning about ZOOPLUS
Used Zooplus yesterday for the first time. Was attracted by their 10% of first order offer. As I was checking out the shopping trolley it showed the discount of the free postage and the 10%, but when I paid (through paypal) the 10% was no longer showing. When I queried this with Zooplus I was told that because I did not…

Cat - fluid on the lungs and heart failing
Hi Guys, Took our baby to the vets this morning as her breathing was a bit out of sorts. Ended up being told she has fluid on the lungs and her heart is giving up :( She needs an x ray but is too weak to stand a sedative so we were sent home with medication and told to phone this evening.

At what point does scrapping become fighting? (cat)
Hi all. Further to my earlier post about cooped-up cats it seems we are looking at a while longer with both cats indoors. I can't realistically see us being able to let our older cat out without her kitten following - they are very close: last night I tried separating them for just five minutes as they were scrapping a…

Cool bedding?
Any ideas greatly appreciated ..... My lab has a duvet in a cover (then folded in 1/2) for his bed - easy to keep clean, wash and seems to be comfy! However, it's so humid here he's roasting! My bedroom's particularly "oven like" and was a sweltering 26 deg last night:( I don't particularly want him lying straight on the…
