It's Caturday- Post some cats (vol 3)

After a hard morning's playing, followed by a nice lunch of lamb chunks in gravy, there's really only one thing to do.

He's gorgeous! Vonderhaar is a great name, I think you should keep it

Haha, SWMBO isn't thrilled with the idea of keeping it! He came into the shelter as a stray and so he's not long had his current name. Apparently it's a reference to Call of Duty, and one of the animal carers at the shelter chose it!

We think he is a Dexter!

Beautiful!

Let's hope he doesn't turn out to be sinister!

Just had our home visit done and everything seemed to go really well, so fingers crossed we will be picking up puss on Monday

Holding on to that vertical surface seems quite clever to me

On a topical theme, he could be The Cat Formerly Known As Vonderhaar

Yeah but what do you shout at the back door when you want him to come in?!

I seen radio collars mentioned a few posts back. Who is using what?

The GPS technology for them is still too young and the sensors are huge. I'd love to see where the cats go and also for tracking should i need to.

Overwhelmed by the choice and various pros and cons of different insurance policies. I think I want a lifetime policy, is that the best (ie all conditions will be covered up to X limit every year)

Anyone recommend any particular insurer that has been good for them?

We use M&S, they have been fabulous

Look here for costs http://www.petmoneysaver.co.uk/pet-insurance

Look here for recommendations - http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Make sure it's a lifetime policy, not 12 months per condition and ask them to explain variable excess.

Also check for dental cover, out of hours vet fees, and any exclusions.

Thanks Ali!

[BRISTOL86]

More Than and M&S appear to be the best options, roughly £10/m though MT is £12k vet fees per year and M&S £7k

Gorgeous looking cat, I love tabby & whites.

My moglet Minnie was put down Two months ago. She was going on 15 years, poorly socialized and the other 4 cats had begun to chase and attack her. Our entrance reaked of Cat piss and we found out they attacked inside the litterbox too, chased her out of it. So thought: ENOUGH
