A vet will give you a good idea of what the damage will cost.0 -

Whichever it is then it's £15 tops and fit it yourself. Pretty straightforward.NiftyDigits wrote: »Laptop or PC? Try to give more info.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

I'll damage further for you if you like. A one off fee of £50 plus travelling costs. I'll be 15 mins, max.
I can also damage other items, soft furnishings , textiles etc if required.0 -
You must have a rogue cat. They generally only damage a mouse. :cool:0

You may need to get the cat out first.0

If its a PC CD then opening the cd box may allow you to realign the tray .0

Even if Tiddles has left a limb in the drive, you can get a USB CD/DVD gizmo with change from £20. It's a bit more fuss, but a bit more startled-cat 'proof'.
Hoping for a full recovery for all involved!0 -
I'd also suggest an external CD/DVD drive, not expensive, much simpler than fitting your own or cheaper than getting someone to fit one.0
