“Lost” microchip.....cat
Has anyone ever had a microchip get “lost” in their pet? We bought a chip-activated cat flap and discovered that our younger cat doesn’t have a chip, despite me asking for, and paying for one to be inserted when she was neutered, almost 5 years ago. I don’t care about the extra £20 that it has cost me to get a new one…

Metacam for elderly cat
My 19-year-old cat has been prescribed Metacam. The last lot cost £26 for 15 ML. This should last around a month. I've looked online and it says it is prescription only so by the time I have paid for the prescription from the vet it probably won't be any cheaper. Anyone know how I can keep the cost down?

Cat flaps for glass
Hi, looking to fit a cat flap in the glass panel of an aluminium door. Does anyone know if you can use a magnetic one? And given that the door is new, I'd prefer the cat flap to be as discreet as possible. Does anyone know of clear-framed cat flaps that are also magnetic (assuming magnetic is ok in aluminium)? Thanks!
