My cat has started running out of the front door whenever me or my partner comes home. As soon as she hears the keys in the lock, she sprints over and shoots straight out when it opens. Thankfully, we live in a flat and so she only ever makes it into the corridor, but since we’re going away...

Dear Friend, Is the fact that you would like to learn how to train your cat but just don’t know how making your life difficult… maybe even miserable? Does it seem like you’ve tried everything in your power to figure it out, and yet, despite your best intentions, you’re still plagued with: • Not...

Hi! Applaws recently announced their senior range is going complementary. This is devastating for me as the only wet food my cat likes is the Applaws Senior Tuna & Salmon. Does anyone have any recommendations for wet foods with the same consistency? They’re very mushy, and it’s much easier for...

My 11 year old male DSH cat has been diagnosed with pancreatitis and DCM in the past month. The vet has this week given him a steroid injection and prescribed antibiotics and anti nausea for a week along with a daily antacid. He is on a daily diuretic for his heart condition (DCM) too. For the...

My partner and I recently adopted two cats (triss and dandelion), one of them (dandelion) is almost completely blind and upon adopting him we're pretty sure that he is also mostly deaf. We were assured that he gets around and manages completely fine but we're having to stay with him at all...

Hey guys, Sorry this might be a long one but I’m in desperate need of some advice! A few days ago I was walking my 2 year old (rescued) Staffy x Lurcher when her lead snapped (the lead was only a few weeks old and according to the packaging should have more than supported her weight) within a...

Hello, I'm just looking for some advice. My cat is a 14 year old grey short hair and has recently started getting matts around the base of his tail and on his back end. One side was easily brushed out with some time and treats, however the other side has become so bad within a few days despite...

So, my kitten (7 months old) is at it again. He had an habit of biting people's ankles (especially mine) when he was younger, but he stopped doing it after a while so I thought the problem was solved. It wasn't. The little bastard likes to bite naked feet, that means that when I'm wearing socks...
