Our poor cat....advice please
We had to have our old cat put to sleep at the end of November. He was 20. It was ever so sad, and still is, but it was best for him. We have another cat, she's 14.

How do you find a good vet?
I am hoping someone can help me find a recommendation for a vet. I move around every couple of years and mostly found a good one through luck rather than judgemnet. I don't really want to go to a 'generic vet'- you know the national types that are found in the back of a pet store, but a good local one. How do you go about…

How long to cats live?
My baby is 17 now and this is the first time ive noticed he's getting old. He doesnt seem to be eating much and keeps hiding away in strange places in the house. On the other hand hes still as cuddly as ever and still wants to be made a fuss of at 5am every morning!! :D Just wondering what the average age for a cat is?

Recommend a puppy crate.
I want to start preparing for if & when I get a puppy. I've seen some on Amazon whilst looking for The Perfect Puppy book. The one I saw was Ellie Bo 24" crate with faux sheepskin bed. It was a reasonable price, but thought I would ask here for recommendations first.

kitten - licking bottom
my kitten who is a male, around 6months old frequently licks his bottom and purrs when doing it. It freaks me out but is it normal? I have had female cats before and never come across it. He has been wormed and I don't think he is in pain as he purrs when he does it. He tends to do it when he is being clapped which freaks…
