Bit of light relief - what, if anything, will you be buying your pet for Christmas?
My dogs will get big juicy bones and maybe a new toy.

Kitten food help please
Hi everybody, I am thinking that the food the kittens are currently on (JWB Grain free/Pouches Kitten food) is going to be too much, as it's 1 box every 3 days. I'd like them to have wet (& if I leave dry down to try to have it available all the time, the female kitten doesn't stop eating, even after the male is done . .…

Cat throwing up biscuits :/
I all, This is our first cat although he lived with my sister for a few years. He tends to ignore cheap biscuits so my sis started buying the pricier ones like Harrington's or meowing heads. He throws them up, we thought he was gorging as they were out all day as per instructions. We started slow rolling the biscuits to…

Diabetic dog - feeling delicate atm :(
Hi all, My lovely little pooch has been diagnosed with diabetes. I hate giving her the injections but she's getting used to them :) Sadly, she's IMMENSELY food-motivated (rescue dog and we suspect neglect in early life :( ) so it's a bit hard getting her used to not having loads of treats. So - riddle me this MSE'ers - are…

Choosing a dog
My two (now 21 and 19) are desperate for a dog. I like dogs - but I have owned them in the distant past (a large one) and know how much work and responsibility they are and have tried to pass this on. If it does happen I think I have narrowed it down to either a bichon or a minuature schnauzer. Does anyone have any…

Fussy cats?
Ok.. where to start? I have seven cats. Two are newbies in our household and are eating and settling well. Since they arrived they have been on a mix of Whiskas pouches and Animonda Carny kitten, Smilla kitten and whiskas biscuits. The Whiskas is just bought when I run out of Zooplus stuff. The adults, two female and two…

Non slip flooring - dog/cats
I am moving in a little bit and will need to look at some suitable flooring for the new place. In my current one I have laminate/tiles all over and both too slippery for Zara my old girl to get up from lying down so ended up having yoga mats everywhere. Now, I do not want to have yoga mats or rugs all over just for the dog…

Cat proof Christmas Tree
Hello, Does anyone have any great ideas for a cat proof Christmas Tree? We need to buy a new one (artifical), but have not done so yet as we have a bonkers cat who tries to kill the tree and eat the ornaments each year. She is an athletic cat and can climb / reach most things. We did joke about suspending a tree from the…

Dog Steps
My staff is finding it hard to get on the sofa these days. I've looked on the net and have found steps that means she won't have to jump on the sofa. Just wondered if anyone else had used these and if they are easy for the dog to get their head around what they are supposed to do and easy for the dog to use?

Kittens trying to hide water bowl?
Our almost 5 month old kittens - one in particular - have frequently tried to hide their food (scratting around it, basically) in the past month that we've had them. I made the rookie mistake of "aw they're saving it for later" then googled and found out they were instinctively trying to stay safe from predators. This last…

Is this such a daft idea?
My kids think I'm mad but I'm moving house next week with 3 cats and for a house warming present I suggested a solar powered water feature for the cats! Bear in mind that they all drink from the muddiest puddles anyway - would i have to change the water more than once every few days? I did buy an indoor water fountain but…

Teaching cat to use a cat flap
Inspired by you lovely people I have bought a microchip cat flap for Breadcat. This is because instead of sleeping she now fancies nipping outside at 4.50am. This is currently achieved by her jumping on my face until I wake up, then a ritual of me standing by the open door in my scanties saying "go on then are you going…

Gitdog will now graciously accept your apologies
For all the unfounded slurs on his good character over the years he has been gracing this site with his much maligned presence. Or in other words, he may still be an @rse, but he's now an officially certificated gold plated @rse. We are very happy tonight.:D

Watchdog
How pleasing that this programme, tonight, highlighted the terrible suffering caused by 'puppy farms'. One such, in Yorkshire, checked by the programme has been exposed and prosecuted by the RSPCA (footage of what the RSPCA found is heartbreaking and the scum have been give a suspended sentence). One big problem is that,…
