    I have got to stop watching YouTube... :( :(

    This is probably in the wrong place... Apologies if so. YouTube primarily sets my home page to feed me videos of charities etc working with animals. It's lately been hundreds of links to things like cat rescue videos and similar, mostly Kritter Klub who are a South Korean group. Usually...

    Just watching a really good film

    Has anyone seen it - Journeyman? I'd never heard of it and it was on as background more than anything else but I started watching. It's a UK film, about the aftermath of a boxer who suffers a traumatic brain injury. Not an action film but rather a slow build. The focus isn't on the fighting...

    Changing paint colour in the lounge... Decisions!

    So currently two walls of my lounge are a fairly dark grey. I painted them quite quickly when I first moved in 4.5 years ago as I wanted the painting done before the white laminate floor was laid. Looking a bit tired now... The other two walls are a pale white silvery grey blue. Looking for a...

    So cross with TV shows that say cats are dirty! Grrrrr

    We have a few series here in the UK that are about dodgy landlords and / or dodgy tenants. I am sooo sick of seeing them go into horrible, dirty, smelly disgusting houses and blaming the poor pets - but especially cats. It's nigh on impossible to rent if you have any pets and it's these...

    Does anyone know of any good, active fish keeping forums??

    Hey, just wondering if anyone who keeps fish, is on any good, active forums? Or actually if anyone here with experience of small-medium tanks might know. (Compared to some monsters, my tank will be considered as very small!) All my accommodation is on the first floor (I live in a coach...

    The Arty Crafty Creative Show-Off-Your-Hobbies thread!

    Well, I noticed that there seem to be lots of people here who are either arty, or have really creative hobbies, but there doesn't seem to be a thread showing our varied talents off?

    Cat shredding paper and cardboard??

    Is it odd that one of my cats seems to really like shredding cardboard and paper? She doesn't ever eat any of it; she just really likes ripping it up. (it's Feora, who generally appears to be very special and sweet in her own way...!) Inevitably I get home to find she has ripped up bits of...

    Hi all Bear with me.... I live in a coach house. I have an outdoor space at the back of the house, but there is no access to it or the outside as the house is on the first floor. My 3 cats are indoors only and so I am having a catio built for them in the garden. The first part is done (ie...

    My accident prone creature Feora has just fallen off the top of the fridge freezer, in the gap between the appliance and the wall.

    Hi all Long post, sorry!! Well my little Feora bug has been on cage rest since 1st Oct following a (hopefully successful) surgery to correct a spay op, done in Feb, that didn't quite get all the ovarian tissue. So this was a midline surgery rather than flank. Unfortunately a few days after...
