Help! fleas but no cat
Hi all :) I've just moved into a new place and I'm being bitten all over when I'm in the house, leaving me with tiny red itchy spots. When I had a cat I used frontline for him and we had no fleas. My cat sadly passed away a while back and I know flea treatment is different now with resistance to frontline I think. But I…

Dog cancer medication
Unopened/unused Masivet for dogs not able to be returned to vets for use by other dog(s) with relevant mast cell tumour cancer. Anyone know of a legitimate solution so that medication not wasted - cost in excess of £200 for one month supply and seems such a waste when it could help someone with expensive cost of treatment.

Have you ever thought your cat was missing...
Have you ever thought your cat was missing only to find them snuggled up somewhere warm oblivious to your frantic searching? We have a 5 month old kitten called Marble. Today she went missing for 1 and a half hours. We were having a new log burner fitted today, but she was safely out of the way upstairs. After the workmen…

11 years old today!
I just want to record the fact that my very-much-loved terrier-type mongrel is 11 years old today! Miss Vivian LEIGH Terrier (actually christened Leigh by Hearing Dogs, but she is non-working) has recently been having Piriton on advice of the vet for a snuffle-y allergy. As a first-line action to improve this, I've changed…

We just got a Bengal cat and have a few questions
We just got a Bengal cat as the owner could not have her anymore as their little girl was allergic to her. They asked loads of questions to make sure she was going to the right home, as the price we paid was extremely cheap and had loads of items with her too. They really wanted to make sure someone was willing to pay for…

Do You Let Your Cat Sleep On Your Bed
Recently my cat who I have now had for 17 years has been getting very restless at night time. She always slept in our room and when the weather turned on our bed. I have now let her sleep in the dining room at night time instead because she would wake us many times in the night. She is warm and safe in there and has a nice…

Klepto Cat
Anyone else got a cat who steals? I got a rescue kitty 3 months ago and she's absolutely perfect in every way except she steals stuff, found a chicken breast on my bedroom floor this morning that I'd left out to defrost :rotfl: She's a menace! Socks, pens, makeup brushes, you name it she steals it.

Fish numbers down - leeches to blame??
Hi, the number of fish in the pond seem to be going down every year, for no apparent reason - too well defended to be herons. At least a couple of frogs, while they may be to blame for the absence of fish fry - have had no 'babies' for three years at least!? However, I have seen leeches in the pond, and I wonder if they…

Are cages just a trend?
My daughter is picking her chocolate lab puppy up at the weekend and we have been pondering the idea of a cage. I grew up with dogs who weren't caged and never caged my 10 year old yorkie either. Is it really necessary or just a fad that has took hold?

Super sharp claws!
I love the cat sitting on my knee but she has such sharp claws that kneading totally destroys my trousers. She will not sit on a throw or a cushion, just on my knee. Similarly she is gradually shredding the sofa in my home office that she sits on- the surface of the leather seat cushion is now pierced with tiny holes. At…

Kitten insurance
Hi Guys, I am an owner of 4 month old kitten and in a dilema on whether I should insure him or not. His is an indoor cat only and will never be let to go out so in my view accident insurance is useless. The local pet has scared me about potential costs when they get diseases or liver problems. She mentioned it can go to…
