Best cheap cat litter?
Hi folks, I don't normally post over here but as it's a cat thing I thought you might be able to help! I have recently moved house and no longer have a cat flap (it's rented so I can't put one in). My 4.5 year old boy likes being indoors and won't go outside for more than about 5 minutes - he's a timid lad. So, obviously,…

Can cats diet affect my allergies?
I’m sure I read somewhere that changing a cats diet can have an affect on allergies suffered by the cats owner. Is that true? Or just another one of those made up internet things? Reason I ask is this week I’ve re-developed an allergy to my 14 year old cat. I’ve had him since he was two weeks old, hand reared him. He was…

Grooming a short hair cat.

She seems to have really hick short hair with maybe a winter coat still underneath with a few mats on her back legs, anyone have tips on how to brush her without getting eaten or clawed in the process... I love cats…

Doggy treats
I expect all us dog-lovers are prone to rewarding our pets with the occasional treat for being well-behaved, or perhaps even just "being" there for us. However, I watched a neighbour's dog gradually deteriorate by being overweight and eventually expiring in due (in part) to liver failure due to his owner feeding it…

No more pets.
My rabbit has just died. He was nearly 11 years old. We lost our Westie a few weeks ago aged over 17. That is it, no more, I cannot take the loss. Feeling stupidly emotional as my brother is seriously ill as well. Sometimes I hate life.

Missing cat
Hi all, So my cat went out as usual on 28th September & hasn't returned . . . as it's now day 10 i'm starting to really worry about him. He does go out, so at least is used to going outside. I feel like i've done all I can to find him, but maybe you guys have some ideas? I've been keeping an eye on the four Spotted…

Pet Insurance premium hike (M&S)
My lovely doggo has had epilepsy for a number of years which needs ongoing medication to keep it at bay. In December 2017 his insurance premium went up from £70pm to £100pm. Part of the reason was he's a golden retriever and had reached 7 years old. Also, they take in to account the number and value of claims made. I've…

Can I get a prescription online or over the phone?
We have a dog who is very nervous at the vet. He's a big boy and it means that he has to be sedated, even just to be examined. He also gets ear infections very regularly and it's beginning to cost a lot and upset him very regularly having to sedate him. Question is... for something straightforward and recurring like this,…

RIP Mungo
Just to say I had to have one of my two cats, Mungo, PTS last week. She was nearly 20 and very frail. She could no longer jump onto a chair and was often very stiff with arthritis (for which she had metacam). I noticed she was repeatedly going to the litter tray (like every few minutes), but without doing anything. So I…

Where to buy a kitten?
Might seem like a silly question, but do I just on the net to find one? I want a kitten rather than a cat as it is for my 9 year old daughter and she wants to start from the beginning rather than getting a rescue (which is fair enough - if it was just for me, I would just go to a cats home). I don't particularly want a…

How to stop cat using doormat as toilet
We're having a really unpleasant problem with a cat (at least we assume it's a cat - we haven't actually caught it in the act) defecating on our front door mat. It used to happen occasionally, then became more and more frequent, to the point where last weekend we resorting to throwing away the doormat, thoroughly cleaning…

Rescue cat going outdoors
Hi, we got a 13y rescue female about 4 weeks ago. We kept her in exclusively for the first 3 weeks and are on day 5 of letting her out into our back garden morning and night, before meals, so that we can entice her back in. However she seems keen to go outside during the day but I'm scared. How long should we keep this up…

Dog Rescue pages
Dog rescue pages has been closed down for some time now and I wonder if anyone on here used the site and may know if or where the people who used it have gone. Has another site been started in its place? The only reason I ask is that it was such an informative site and I learned so much from it. Also 2 of my previous…

I would like to rehome them but am not sure where the best place to go is? I have tried…

Mature Cat's Unwelcome Morning Wakeup Calls
Hi there, Hoping any advice/ insight on this issue. I adopted my rescue kitty two years ago now, and he is now 11(ish?) years old. I knew he wouldn’t be without his quirks and absolutely love and adore him to bits- the reward of seeing his personality emerge overtime is fab and in my opinion, far outweighs his habits of…
