The neighbour's cat - quandary
We recently moved to a new build and one night when we came home, a rather friendly cat appeared and started meowing. He/she was very affectionate and we stroked it. We went in and thought nothing more about it. A few nights later at 10pm, we heard the cat meowing at our door. It didn't come in but we stroked it (my…

Would this worry you?
Came across an advert for someone selling a puppy on face book and they want a copy of your passport. I did warn people that it might be a scam, but he said its to prove that his re homed the dog if they dont change the microchip. I dont want a dog already got one, but i'd be wary of identity theft.

Pet insurance by Equine and Livestock, any good for a cat?
Hello, Need to renew my cat's insurance (current insurer just keeps increasing!!). He is getting old, so a few companies do no longer seem to insure him as he is over 10, but a very healthy boy. Just did a comparison and the cheapest and best cover seems to be pet-insurance.co.uk, which is the trading name of E&L, Equine…

Poor design of cat flap
We have just fitted a replacement PetSafe 300 series cat flap in our conservatory - the design appears flawed in that the outside of the mechanism has a cut out - directly over the red knob - which rain will obviously enter the flap through which will leave a pool of water on the floor - could someone who has one - please…

Feliway
We need to get some Feliway refills before Nov 5th and see that Mr Pets appears to be the cheapest available in UK (£14.40) ? I also see that other sites mention that OLD refills are only compatible with OLD diffusers, which implies that they have changed them ? Could someone please confirm whether we need diffusers as…

At the same time my friend, who has no money said she was looking to get another dog. She liked my dog and I thought it would be nice for…
