Cat drinking more - because of special food ?
Hello all, Just looking for some advice with regards to my cats (I have 2 - both indoor cats). One of my cats suffers from cystitis and after a recent episode we have introduced special urinary / anti struvite food into his diet. As it is difficult to give both cats different food (they always want what the other has got…

My house smells of pets? :(
I don't know why but this is really upsetting me! Apparently my house smells of 'pets' - I have two cats and a hamster. My mum comments a lot on the smell of my house when she comes round, and it's starting to make me think that other people think this too. Now my cats ARE naughty, but they use a covered litter tray with a…

What to do about old cat!
Hi, Recently my 15 year old cat has really gone downhill to the point where she is barely eating, can't really relax sitting down and is pooing everywhere and anywhere! We are going to take her to the vets on Friday and we think the dreaded decision is going to be made! I have been upset about it and I really don't know if…

Where did you buy dog ID tag?
Julius has just come home from his dog sitter and I've noticed his tag is missing, so need to get a new one. I bought his previous one (plain round gold-coloured) on eBay 18 months ago when we got him, but the edges were very bashed-up from when he shakes and it hits the buckle on his collar, and the engraving was getting…

Cheap (price not quality!!) bulk hamster bedding?
Hi, just wondering if anyone knows where I can buy cheap hamster bedding (the cotton wool kind), probably in bulk? At the moment we have to buy a bag (~90g) every week, and although this is only 1.20 a week I'm sure I can get it cheaper and have to buy it less often somewhere else!! Thanks, Scuff

What breed of dog?
I'm looking at getting a rescue dog but unsure as to what breed would suit me best. Ideally looking for a companion dog, something that moults sparingly or not at all, something relatively small in stature and a non-giddy personality (I know that might be unique to each dog). I can't walk too far so a breed that just wants…

Best cheap/own brand cat food
Hello! Due to a change in circumstances, our cats, who are used to Sheba (!) will have to go down a brand or 3! I have tried Sainsburys and got a resounding no. I got Waitrose Essentials on Saturday, they like some flavours but today they have refused to eat. Any advice please? Thanks.

Do you think Cats can be spiteful
Hi, we have a little nutter of a cat and on Saturday evening i locked the cat flap as there was a little shrew running round on the patio collecting leaves and seeds. The cat saw it but i wouldnt let her out, she has her litter tray and everything in the house so she didnt have to go out. At about 4am she jumped on my…

Miss Daisy Cat's feeling a bit low..
One thing I didn't know about her that thr ASSISI didn't tell me is she's a cat flu carrier,which is one of the reasons she's a house cat. Part of that is she occasionally gets the sniffles & sneezes,which she has at the mo,so she's feeling a bit down in the dumps at the mo,sleeping on my lap at the moment...She gets these…

Pros and cons of owning a cat
We have always had dogs but now the house is pet free and we are a elderly couple we are thinking of buying a cat . I am just looking for advice about cats in general ? Are cats lovable & very loyal like dogs ? Do cats stay indoors during the day and do you let them out all night even in winter ? Would it be best to get a…

Fast working calming dog tablets
I've just realised it is nearly firework night, really stupid of me to not sort something out sooner but I need to find some calming tablets that work fast. Any ideas? I usually use serene um but didn't find them very affective last year. My 8 year old ridgie is a wreak around firework night, he has a crate that we cover…

Poorly cat after annual booster jab
Took Maisie to the vets yesterday morning for her booster. It's our first experience of this as we got her from the RSPCA a year ago (she is about three years old). I don't know what I was expecting really, but she is not herself at all. She has pretty much done nothing but sleep, she hasn't eaten, she seems a bit stiff…

Uh oh, cat in trouble with neighbours
My neighbour ( who we don't get on with) told me today the cat has been pooing in his garden, he isn't lying as I caught him doing it today. Now as much as we don't get on with the neighbour I sympathise with him, our cat should not be doing it and I want to discourage it... so my question is... How??? He does it in the…

Christmas decorations with cats......?
Ok, so this is our first year with fairly laid-back 2 year old Maisie but psychotic 3 month old Smudge. Smudge, as most kittens, is curious, fearless, & adventurous. I suspect that a Xmas tree will very quickly become a denuded climbing frame & any decorations on it splintery shards under her cute clown feet. So, how do we…

Cat fur - thinning. Been to vet, now what?
Hi all, My 7 year old cat is perfectly fine in herself but her fur has thinned all on her tummy and across both back legs and her sides. She constantly washes herself - I have deflead her, and it didn't make a difference, so I took her to the vets. They did a skin scrape (I had to ask for it) and tested for mites and…
