Dreamies - side effects?
I wonder apart from pleasing the cat, are there any side-effects from cats having Dreamies? For example does it make them hyper-active? Can they have too many in a day? Conversely, are there any side effects as a result of the cat going 'cold turkey'? That is, does 'do more Dreamies' equal any withdrawal symptoms?

Cat flap installation problem
Hi. We live in a rented property. We have permission to install a cat flap in the back door, but need to replace the door when we leave, maybe in 1- 2 years. I got several quotes and described and/or sent photos of the door. The door is an old wooden door with indented panels at the bottom. The installer arrived and said…

Should I report my neighbours to RSPCA or not?
My DH pointed out to me the conditions our new neighbours appear to be keeping their cats and I am getting increasingly concerned for their welfare. I am on the verge of reporting to the RSPCA, but want to take the time to garner some other viewpoints from here if I may :o Background info: new neighbours moved in a few…

Moving with Fish Tank
We'll be (hopefully) moving house by about 30 miles in the spring and are not sure of the best way to move the fish tank. We previously moved it about 10 years ago (about 2 miles) but they were standard goldfish at the time (since migrated to outside pond) and it's now a tropical tank (heater, etc.). It's a large tank…

Petplan
Hello everyone and hope you're all having a good new year so far. I have a rabbit and I'm looking to get him some insurance. Petplan are my first choice, but the one thing putting me off is that they seem to have a lot of unhappy customers. The reviews on Trustpilot are not encouraging, and taking a look at their Facebook…

Do reptiles make good pets?
My daughter has for a few years been saying she would like a reptile pet, either a snake or lizard. She's 19 and I know she would take good care of it, feed it, clean it out etc. I am wondering what they are like as pets? Are they responsive to their owners? Do they mind being handled and are they quite complicated to care…

Fleas
I treated our dog with Frontline nearly three weeks ago and he still has fleas and is continually scratching/biting/licking. I always used Frontline on our other dogs and never had a flea problem, but see that many people are saying Frontline doesn't work anymore. I am going to order some Advantage today, as that has very…

Cat flea treatment
Hi, I keep finding the odd flea or small amounts of flea dust on my cat! I have been using treatment from the vet regularly, but decided it was cheaper to buy frontline from the pharmacy. I found the odd flea so after treatment 4 weeks ago not stopping it completely I tried another brand from the pharmacy called…

Do cats miss their deceased companions?
We had to have Tasha PTS last week - only 12. We had had her since she was 2 and very much part of the household. We have a 4 yo male, Bob, and we are sure that in the fullness of time we will rehome another rescue. But does Bob miss Tasha ? Never the closest of friends but she was the boss.

Good pet insurance for older cats - recommendations please
I know that pet insurance does not cover existing conditions but I am looking for insurance for a few older cats. I do not really understand the difference between whole of life insurance and any other type of insurance. Can anyone please recommend pet insurance they think might be good for older cats. Thank you.

Is my cat an Oscar winning actor? Or is he actually injured?
We went shopping 2 days ago leaving the cat home alone for about 2 hours. Come back and he's holding one of his front paws in the air and limping a bit. No obvious sign of injury so we thought maybe he just slept on it funny or jumped off the bed at a bad angle. My partner find the paw in the air too cute to resist so cat…

Aquarium downsize
With a new canine in the house, space has become Premium. When my big fish tank developed a slow leak, I realised it was time for a downsize. The main fish have all been rehomed, leaving just a few smaller types and my plants. Today I sourced a second hand Fluval tank on Gumtree. Went to see and it's good as new. Receipt…

Young cat died suddenly
My 4 year old, indoor cat died suddenly and without warning. Been going through my mind what happened as she did not display any signs of ill health or change in habits/breathing/eating. She ate her food as normal (hills science plan) and did her business in the morning without issues. Then a few hours later she went to…

Pets at home and guinea pig
I'm so annoyed. I went against my better judgement (I know, I know) and adopted a guinea pig from pets at home to go with my other boys. I go in there to buy the guinea nuggets as it's so local to me and for months I saw the same guinea all on his own in the adoption cages he's around a year old. I finally enquired about…
