I am not having a go at OP - I am just really worried for the cat and what the OP will do if the cat gets ill (touch wood it will not).

As I have 4 cats and a dog (all insured), work full time and really struggle to keep everything together financially.

Got 4 cats due for boosters soon (minimum 80 for 4 of them if we go to CH but that involves taking a whole day off work, having to ask someone for a lift there and back and having to borrow 4 cat baskets as have none at home now) - otherwise it is 40 per cat at my regular vets.

Worming, flea treatment, excess on insurance.

Pets are NOT cheap to keep.

I have just seen this as have not been on the website and I refuse to be treated as if I am a bad owner!!

I pay £30 a month for pet insurance, and £20 for a pet plan which provides me with all preventative care such as boosters, flee treatment and worming.

I understand that pets are not cheap to keep, I just did not want to throw away £30 (which I do not have laying around) to take my cat to the vet when he could be coughing up a furball.

Don't just presume the worst in people, because you will often be wrong. I do not eat meat, nor buy any animal tested products because of my love for animals so do not proceed to accuse me of animal cruelty.

OP, it might be worth investing in a Furminator. It's amazing how much hair comes off them which they would otherwise swallow!

My cat well one of them has asthma. For a very long time I am ashamed to say I thought just furballs (none every came up), then I saw the video you mentioned. She now has to take a steroid tablet everyday which manages the condition.

Do not just assume its furballs.
