Cat pooing anywhere but outside!
Hi all I have 5 cats ranging from 16 down to 4 months. Recently my 7 year old girl (narrowed it down to her) has been pooing in the house. She has never done this before and I'm just at a loss what to do. I thought it could be the kitten but she really likes her and they often play together. It's happening on a daily basis…

dog burps loudly after eating
My dog has always been a reluctant eater, he is 9 now and seems almost afraid to eat. He trembles and then slinks away when I put his food out and only with persuasion will he eat it. He must be eating enough as he's a normal weight but the palaver getting him to eat is ridiculous! Recently he has been burping loudly after…

RIP extra flea spray 600ml vet wants £23+ sells everywhere else from £9! Why do you ALWAYS get the feeling they are ripping you off!!

Questions for dog walkers
What time of day is your last walk of the day with your dog and how far do you go? I usually go out about 8pm and we walk roughly 2 miles, more if he hasn't pooped yet. Other dog walkers that I have spoken to go out at about the same time but don't walk as far as I do so it just got me wondering.

But I noted that the wet tinned dog food…

I'm currently using ASDA or Tesco's cheapest offering which is £1.55 for 10 litres and I can't find cheaper (Has anyone?). The trouble is that it doesn't last long as it…
