    Yes, you are a good bit further north than me.
    I am in the middle!

    Any recommendations of where to buy a resonably priced cat scratching post.
    I think Pets @ Home are not cheap & tried advertising on FB & it said it wasent an acceptable ad!!

    eBay? Or do you have a Home Bargains type place near you. My cat ignored the expensive scratching post I got her from Pets at Home and carried on scratching my hall carpet 😩
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)

    Can really recommend cat no 2... with a cautionary thought that an older cat could mean your heart is broken again sooner rather than later, having said that we are on 5 and 6 of our marriage ( 14 years) and we have lost when young too... I now take the view if we can give them loads of love in their cat years thats all that matters.....
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It
