    asea, we had one of those brushes to but the furminator works a lot better IMO. I was bit sceptical about buying one as they cost so much but honestly its well worthwhile!

    Not saying the zoom Groom is no good, each to their own, personally I just find that the furminator stops them shedding almost any hair.

    thank you claire! i think i might give it a try, mu cleo threw up a huge hairball this morning, poor little poppet!

    I had a persian cross and treated him as any other cat (dad was persian, mum was persian X). He went out and socialised with all the others, however you'll need to groom him as there coats get very matted - I had to keep shaving my cat! Also persian and persian crosses are prone to urinary tract infections. After having stones removed from his bladder (very similar symptoms to cystitis), he had to stay on a special diet). Just something to consider.

    storm35, maybe you could also look at rescue centres & animal homes when looking for a new cat?

    there are so many beautiful cats out there who are likely to be put down as the rescue centres do not have the resources to keep them & you would be supporting a rescue centre as opposed to a private breeder who may be using the animals as a profit making enterprise only (some are lovely though!)

    Hi :)

    We have recently got a kitten and wasnt too keen on the idea of the cat litter tray, but didnt have a choice as she was going to be a house cat. But then we got one of these Cat toilet

    Its brilliant! You cant smell the mess and even better you cant see it (im a bit ewww around mess like that, god knows what Ill be like when I have kids. Lol) This way kitty can do her mess without bothering anyone and doesnt have to go outside :)
