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…

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.
