We have a 13 year old female cat who's developed hyperthyroidism and will need drugs, I assume, for life. This is likely to cost a fortune as there's no insurance for the cat. The actual drug (I assume these are generics) and dose needs to be settled. Therefore I need to source the drugs as cheaply as possible. Surely…

OUTDOOR cat litter trays
Do those exist? All my boys are VERY big, I have 3 massive trays for them but now that we have our own garden - would prefer to have those outdoor. I do not have any "roof" anywhere outside so need something fully enclosed/covered and google comes up with nothing that could potentially work. Any ideas clever people please?

Cleaning cat bum (TMI alert)
One of our 6 month old boys apparently isn't the best at personal hygiene and his bum has gotten sore. It's crusty and he's started scooting. I have booked him in at the vets for Friday so he can be thoroughly checked for any issues and we can get the prescription wormer, but in the mean time I want to try and clean it so…

Cat insurance
Need some recommendations as never had to insure a pet before. So far only had a quote from petplan, cover for life or classic. £27/month or £21/month respectively, with two months free so technically less in year 1. That is for 2 cats. Thoughts? Recommendations?

Multi level activity toys for rabbits?
I see lots of these things for cats, but I'm struggling to find anything suitable for rabbits, or for outdoors, and that is weather proof. Gizmo really loves jumping up and climbing on things. He has a small 'house' which lets him climb on top of his hutch, and also gets various cardboard boxes but I'm sure he would enjoy…

Average cat vets bill
I'll confess to being a bit shocked by the bill at the vets tonight. I wrongly assumed that it'd be quite a bit cheaper than horses as you take the cat there so no travel time or associated costs. I'm going to ask for an itemised bill when we go back next week for a follow up, but I wanted to know what you expect to pay…

Emergency raw feeding advice needed [dog]
Hi all, I usually feed my collie the raw minces by Bulmers from a not-very-local raw supplier who delivers once a month, and I didn't get an order in for January and then I thought my dog would be ok on Forthglade/shop dogfood and chicken wings for 4 weeks [before going raw she just ate anything and would be fine] BUT we…

FREE DELIVERY - Bird Care Range
We are doing the great bird watch this weekend and over the last few months I've noticed it's starting to get quite expensive feeding our feathered garden friends, especially as they go through seed like a dose of salts. I found this site that provides free delivery with all their bird range, that's the houses, feeders and…

Seems we have a cat....
... We are a 2 kid, 3 dog household and in the process of having some work done. We leave our garage door open because the tumble drier is temporarily housed there and the moisture needs to escape. A cat has moved into the garage about 4 days ago. As soon as I went into the garage from the house, or out of the front door,…
