"odd" cat

So, the time comes to order some Advantage.

Should be simple - AnimedDirect sells it in packs of 4, I have 4 cats.

Easy?

Nope as Macius the the "odd" one.....

My 3 other boys are well over 4kg but Macius is tineyyyyyyyyyyyy

So got to get 2 packs of 4 - doubling the price.

As Advantage comes in "under 4kg" or "4-10kg"

Or shall I pump Macius up somehow to pay under 10 pounds rather than nearly 20?

Cats, huh?

    The one pack of 4 should last as long as 3 packs of 4 for the bigger cats so the overall cost over the year will be the same. If you've got the money now buy 1 pack of under 4kg and 3 packs of 4-10kg in one shipment.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    That is the problem, I never have the money to buy in advance and would rather buy as/when/how much needed.

    Delivery is free so it is not an issue..

    So, the skinny little sod costs me extra and I just found him looking at a spider.... Not only extra cost but also does not even work for his keep....


    Sigh.... ;)

    Now got to calculate the Drontal LOL

    Does it have to be Advantage?

    I've got plenty of Frontline and would be happy to send you a pipette for little Macius :D

    Let me know if you want me to :)

    Oh Walwin, so sweet, thanks a lot but I could not possibly accept...really appreciate the offer though, thanks a lot.

    Guess just wanted to have a little winge ;)

    Why advantage? One of mine had a really scary reaction to frontline _ Fred was foaming at the mouth like mad so started using advantage since then.

    Ordered now... but really they could sell them in singles as well as in 4s....

    Thanks again xx
