http://www.justgiving.com/Poppy11M My friend Poppy passed away nearly two months ago now (jeeze, it's two months a week on Sunday!) from anaphylactic shock caused by an insect bite. She was just 19. Poppy was as selfless a person as you'd ever meet. Nothing was ever too much for her if it...

"After scolding one's cat one looks into its face and is seized by the ugly suspicion that it understood every word. And has filed it for reference."- Charlotte Gray Ohh yes, we know that look!

Ahaha, no, I prefer to keep my blood in my body! They're both the most docile cats you'll ever meet... Neither have ever raised a paw to any human (each other is a different story though!) but start running a bath with them in the bathroom and they both run! They do a pretty good job of...

Having two white mogs, we were advised way back when they were kittens to always try and sun cream up their ears and nose when they went out during the summer. Mogs had different ideas and would either just lick it off, or refuse to go outside with it on... So we gave up on that idea. Should we...

Most definitely; a pet is for life no matter if it's a horse, or a hamster. Over here we recently had a bit of a hoohar about someone who told a 15 year old she couldn't buy a hamster; it went to the paper but the shop owner was perfectly legal in refusing the sale because the law states that...

Two different ones - the first one is Snowball, then it's Poppet trying to get into the box They're pretty easy to tell apart IRL - Snowball is much furrier than Pops, whilst Poppet is a short hair and a bit smaller in size. Also, Snowball is commonly found asleep, whilst Poppet is much more...

I have a day off tomorrow = BAKING TIME!

I mean, there's all that posing you have to do! It's ok though, she can just sleep it off in the sunshine... Poppet, on the other hand, prefers to take a more direct approach to life - New box? Little white cat? I do think that makes an award winning combination! "Oh Mum, I think I might...

Of course they do... There's a phrase bandied around on the horse forum I frequent... "If there are no horses in heaven, then I don't want to go!" I'm not at all religious but I couldn't agree with the statement more. No animals in heaven? I'm not going then!

Yes! Poppet is crazy for this... every morning, without fail, when I go to do my, uh, morning business, she's there, trying to get on my lap - I let her once, and she dug her claws into my bare thigh on the way up, so she gets put down now. If you shower, she also has to be there, licking the...

My two kitties are knocking on a bit now (12 this June), and whilst Poppet is active and moves freely, Snowball seems to hobble a lot more now and often meows as she's jumping up to things - not the happy Brrrrp of her younger years, a proper ouch! sounding meow. She no longer likes her back...

Very much a meat eater here! Couldn't live without meat. Animal welfare is an important issue to me; but extreme animal rights people scare me :/ (By that I mean the people who want all animals released into the wild including house pets and those who don't agree with riding horses!P)

I have two. FujiFilm FinePix which is awful and decides not to use the flash even when it's in forced flash mode... or decides to use the flash when it's in suppressed flash mode... It blurs constantly and I hate it I also have a Canon 350D DSLR with three lenses, absolutely love it, wouldn't...
