Dave-350 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 It's an axolotyl. You can get them at most fish stores, very weird creatures. I used to have them years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Sad day today, one of my cats had to be put to sleep, a blood test revealed he had cancer of the kidney. He'd had a good life though considering he was a feral cat born in our garden some 13 and half years ago. Even though we've got 4 other cats the house feels kinda empty without him .

The G Man Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Sorry to hear that Pete, not a cat person myself but still sad to hear. My dogs cost me £60 at the vets yesterday, one has a grass allergy, one is just a hypochondriac and can't see green cheese, still I'd be devastated to not have them. Oh and the advice from the vet, keep her off the grass!! FFS they're trained vermin killers (well, not very successful, no kills in 5 and 2 years old respectfully, but they do like to eat rabbit droppings), and like fields!!

sipar69 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Sorry to hear about your cat Pete x I had my old dog put to sleep last week Really sorry to hear that and about Pete's cat. I know how I'll feel when our cats and bunnies aren't around any more. Pets are with us for a relatively short time, but they have such a big place in our hearts don't they.

JetSet Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 After a few weeks reflection we decided to adopt a couple of kittens from a local sanctuary. These are lifted from the sanctuaries web page but they should be with us in a couple of weeks . Pete 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I've been contemplating getting a kitten but I think it might be one of my 'buying an audi TT IS a good idea' moments. Cute little blighters though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cute little blighters though. I'm a huge cat fan (also like dogs). Contrary to what some people think cats can be very loyal and loving pets. Kittens can be quite a handful but you could always consider giving a home to an older cat from a rescue centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't take on a sole kitten anyway especially if you work - they need lots of interaction otherwise you end up with behaviour problems 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't take on a sole kitten anyway especially if you work - they need lots of interaction otherwise you end up with behaviour problems Definitely very busy, the shelter ours came from must have 40 kittens and 10 adult cats, not to mention 20/30 dogs, half a dozen ponies, etc. Our second kitten will be with us on the 7th September, it's not from the same litter and must be a couple of weeks younger than our ginger female. Got them from here. http://www.ncar.org.uk/ Pete 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodder Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 We looked at north clwyd animal rescue too. We were after a dog and unortunately most that go through there are staffies which we didn't have a problem with except most that they deal with are nervous around other dogs so sadly we ruled them out. I will have to take a pic and provide an update to our 8 month old lab Hetti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
