New pet

James K

Hi,

Today I heartely visited the RSPCA and then had to be turned away because they were closed.

Having decided to buy a cat, I felt the need to really be secure in my decision.

I decided on a cat that was loving in return. Potential for some good adventures with my cat indoors for a few weeks. Fully ready.

Lots Of love

James

  • You sound more knowledgeable about guinea pig lumps than most vets I have come across. Perhaps vets encourage surgery so they can make more money? Sorry that sounds very cynical but I have had so many bad experiences with vets. That is part of the reason I am taking a break from rabbits and guinea pig fostering/rescuing. All vets learn about cats and dogs in vet school but hardly anything about other small animals.

    Your piggies do sound lovely. I have a particular soft spot for Shelties and Peruvians. They have lovely (cheeky) personalities.

    the bearded lizard we rescued came with the whole set up (tank, lights, etc). We took him from a couple who had him for 5 years then didn't want him anymore once they had a baby. We didn't have a clue what we were doing at first but just read as much information online and in books. we have the light and UV bulb on automatics timers and a temp control. It is the feeding of live bugs that bothered me most at first. I still don't really like it, but it is their natural prey. 

    But our beardie is great fun. He is very sociable and loves to sit on someone's shoulder.
