Pet insurance claim
Our cat is currently in the emergency vets and likely is all weekend which will cost around £1600. Is there any policies which allow you to purchase and make a claim straight away? We have already paid £600 since he was admitted but the final bill will be on Monday if he is let out. It isn't an existing medical illness but…

Hi I have a 22 year old cat. He has lost loads of weight over the last 6 months. He is deaf and partially blind.

Cats and carpets
Hello, So, I've had some carpet laid in the living room (amongst other places) and my female cat seems intent on scratching it to pieces. She's not interested in any of the other rooms, just the living room. It's quite an expensive carpet and I'm at my wits end with it. I come home to bits of carpet loop all over the…

Praise for Healthy Pets Insurance
Just wanted to say how brilliant I've found Healthy Pets to be. I've had my two cats insured with them since they adopted me in 2009 but I've never claimed before and they do say that you never know how good your insurance is until you have a claim. My beautiful boycat fell ill in August and the vet struggled for a…

Guinea pigs outside?
Is it too cold at the moment to keep guinea pigs outside? We wanted to get gp's in about a month, once our conservatory is finished, but we saw 2 beautiful ones for sale today, so our best option would be keep them outside for a month. We haven't got a cage/hutch yet, hoping for a second hand one from ebay or gum tree.…

Cruciate repair - Cat.....not long after my dogs went!
Poor cat was lame over the weekend, kept trying to put weight on it unsuccessfully. Thought she might have strained something and would improve as was eating OK. Went to vets last night, who wanted an x-ray as could be hip related, possibly related to previous injury where she shattered her leg after being hit by a car and…

Finding a suitable base for a fish tank?
So I've got a 60l fish tank and a tattyish black stand, and it just doesn't fit in with the rest of the furniture. I haven't bought the new furniture yet so have a bit of scope, but I'm struggling to find a decent stand, or even a normal unit that can handle it. I was advised Ikea had a lot of units that'd be OK, but the…

Hi all, I'm trying to work out an approximate budget for how much it would cost a month to feed a cat using one of the better brands such as those found on Zooplus. For those using Zooplus, roughly how much wet and dry food do you get through a month per cat? And roughly how much do you therefore spend a month on wet and…

Cat eats elsewhere
We have a cat - that is overweight - he eats his breakfast at about 5am (after waking us up) - he goes out and, recently - doesn't return for about 6 or 7 hours !! We think that he is eating elsewhere (a neighbour puts food out for stray cats !!) What can we do to stop him from overeating - he is on a "diet" but eats what…
