Neighbours loud Parrot
Not sure where I stand with this but one of the neighbours up behind us, not even sure which house it is as the noize is so loud and sounds like from a back garden or something, but all times of the day their parrot makes these loud squawking noises. Sounds like the thing is being killed. This is particularly annoying when…

Pet Window Stickers for Emergencies
Hi all! I've been thinking about getting a window sticker for our front door indicating that we have a cat. Does anyone have any experience with them? Something akin to this, but probably in a reflective vinyl so it can be better seen at night. I've seen a few that have an actual image of the cat. Does anyone think this…

Would like to ask if anyone has an idea what's happening. Had our cat 10 years. We are her third home so not certain how old she is. Estimate between 12 and 14 years old.

Do you give your dog groomer a tip?
I know its common to tip your hairdresser but do you also tip your dog groomer? Ive just changed groomers and always tipped the one I previously used but today when I went to the new one I was so surprised when she told me the price (£10 cheaper than my old one and just as good) that I just paid her what she had asked and…

Garfield corn cat litter
I’ve been using a wood pellet cat litter but find it to be difficult to clean as it doesn’t clump but turns into sawdust. My partner is asthmatic so want to avoid a clay litter as I’ve heard it can get very dusty (also heard it isn’t very good at holding the smell and tracks all over the house). I’ve been looking into corn…

Petplan Cat Insurance Covered For Life
My seven-year-old cat, Pudding, has been covered under Petplan's Covered For Life policy since I got her five years ago as a rescue. She's had dental work done (which wasn't covered), but nothing else, and I've never made a claim on the policy. Three weeks ago I fostered another rescue cat, and it soon became very clear…
