Hadn't thought of looking in M&S, I'll give that stuff a go. Bit tricky getting to one on a regular basis though.

My little guy Dante seems to be quite a fussy eater. I haven't watched him closely yet, but I think he just licks all the gravy off the meat chunks when I put food out, then Evey comes along and eats all of her portion and a bit of his. How should I deal with that? Try other brands? I'm wary of...

I don't even know! It just sort of... happened. I showed 'em all the info I could find that reccommended 2 cats in a household where they'd be left alone for several hours a day. Then our discussion of "cat" gradually changed into discussion of "cats", and my dad either didn't notice or didn't...

Ah, well, we're fortunate in that the largest and fiercest birds around here are probably seagulls. Cheeky beasts, but not the type to swoop down on unsuspecting moggies and swipe them.

If I get them accustomed to breakfast at 7:30am, I may never be late to college again. Artgecko - thanks v. much for all the info! I tried looking at a book for basic cat care book but most of them are all pictures and no info. Is there any particularly good brand of cat food I should look...

I hadn't heard that advice about the cat food. I got a couple of bags of Iams from the pet shop last week in preparation, and a few different tins of regular Whiskas type catfood from a supermarket to figure out what they like. I'll definitely look into a proper diet for them though, if Whiskas...

*bump* Well, we booked a pair at the cat home today. They're male & female, 5 months old - the male's ginger and looks about fully-grown; the female's a tortoiseshell, still pretty small, and has the most adorable voice. They look really happy together (don't know if they're brother & sister...

Lovely stuff, thanks! I'll take a peek now. Sarahp - the local petshop is, fortunately, one of the good ones; it's independently owned, and the guy who owns it has run it for years. They don't sell animals larger than rabbits though. It's usually a good place to ask for advice, but I just...

Aloha again peeps. The local petshop guy here told my mum that there tend to be long waiting lists for people looking for kittens. Can anyone from the UK or Scotland here confirm that? And are older, trained and neutered cats - one to three years old - usually more abundant? I was promised I'd...

Sorry. Whatever I get will be spayed/neutered. I don't want to end up with a horny male cat or a pregnant female. When the poor beast's been rendered incapable of reproducing, what difference in temperament is there between males and females?

Thanks for the info. Male or female - when neutered, what are the standard differences between their personalities?

I find it hilarious how many people would fail their driving test if they were to re-sit it tomorrow.

Attacking. Like putting the subject of your abuse upon a barbeque and verbally grilling them.

Haha. When I put my foot in my mouth, it goes in to the heel. You barely licked your toes there. :p

Ooh lovely, thanks folks. Carol - that reminds me. I can't get two cats whilst I'm still under my folks' roof. I've been begging them for nearly a decade now to let us get a cat, and it's only been very recently that they finally gave in. There's no argument that I can think of that will let me...
