When you said you wanted to get something cat related I was going to suggest another cat 😆 My older cat wasn’t happy when we got another cat but she tolerates her now. There’s still the odd stand off but nothing serious.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

That face 😍
Glad you had a nice lunch, sorry about the fall though. I totally agree about the sunshine though, it's amazing how it can lift the mood."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee4 -

Ds couldn’t get over that there was a full shop selling cat things. Didn’t think there’d be a market for such things….he got a shock when it was full every time we passed it 😂😂I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.

Our two now are covered by pet insurance at the vets for health ,injections and dentistry but it's quite costly.pollyx

We have an almost 13 year old Stealth Cat. She was so timid (the runt) when we got her and only really came out after her litter sister was killed. Her personality really developed and she was really contented. Very much an indoor cat. Since we got the puppy last January (so 14 months ago) she has changed a lot. He is far more assertive and we now spend a fortune on meds to prevent stress-induced cystitis, a Feliway plug-in with bi-monthly refills, more expensive cat food to stop her being sick, and additional litter so she has more litter trays. And we have two stair-gates so that he can't get everywhere. We budgeted for him but not really for the extra cat costs. Of course we would not change them, we love them both, but adding another animal can really change the dynamic, not always in a good waySave £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £9586.01 out of £6000 after August (158.45%)
OS Grocery Challenge in 2025 I am at £2135.07/£3000 or 71.17% of my annual spend so far

I have done this before when Mr N was introduced to Master J & Miss J.
I think of the absolute joy Master J brought & I wouldent change that for the world.
Even in the week I lost Mr N & Master J I would not have changed it for the world because they brought so much love & joy every single day.
Mr n for 20 years & Master J for 2 years.
I miss them every day but that's the price we pay for love.
They were my buddies.
My life is different to many of you.
It has taken me a long time to accept this & I make my joy in different ways.I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.
