Dogs vs Cats in neighbour's garden?
Hello, I'm a dog person, I have two. The neighbour is a cat person and has one big fat spoiled mean cat. Ironically we don't get on because of laughable hedge boundary issues. Their boundary, their hedge over my drive, my chainsaw. Their cat comes through our garden all the time. I've seen it pooing, marking up my herbs,…

greyhound lump

He had an op under sedation to drain it, the vet suspected a foreign body (grass seed) but didn't find anything inside when she operated. All fine…

Stupid question of the day - heating broken down - kitty OK?
Don't laugh. :p Our boiler broke down on Tuesday evening. We've had no heating for 36 hours and the house is now COLD. We borrowed a couple of electric convector heaters last night to heat the lounge and our bedroom a bit, but we don't want to leave those on while we're out at work. Now, I *know* kitties go outside in…

When to start allowing kittens outside...
Hi, I've got a couple of 7 month old female kittens. They had everything done before I got them from a shelter, aged 3 months. ie. neutering, microchipping, shots etc. I started allowing my previous cats out after they were neutered at 6 months, but this was in April (17 years ago) when the weather was warming up and the…

Dog with dodgy tum
My lovely terrier cross rescue Pipsqueak has a dodgy tum. I've no idea what's caused it as usually she has a very strong stomach, apart from a bout of colitis a couple of months ago. I noticed her tum problems on thursday as she had 6 squitty deposits (sorry about the description). I took away her food for a day/night and…

Debating whether or not to get another cat through time
So I have two cats - Rambo and Nibbler and they are brother and sister and are 10 years old. Both are in great health and don't see them going anywhere anytime soon :p They have always been around each other and never been apart so I'm wary about what to do if anything ever happens to one of them, would the surviving one…

What else can I try
Hello Folks Cat2 is elderly and is probably close to the end of her life (renal issues and dementia) if she was in pain/distress then I'd opt to have her pts rather than have her suffer. As she wasn't eating I've taken her to the vets this morning and there is not much he can do for her. The renal issues are causing her to…

We was wondering what wet food tray/pouches were…

Recall training for dog who prefers running & chasing to food
Most recall training techniques seem to involve conditioning the dog to return to a signal such as a command or whistle. This is reinforced during training by a reward such as favourite treat, usually food, but it might involve a ball, toy or even petting. However, what happens if the drive for chasing or possession of…
