The issue is that I live in Israel - a country not participating in the PETS scheme which makes it possible for animals to bypass the six month quarantine period. I spoke with a PETS representative and they told...

I'm in the UK. Mum's cat Molly has always been picky on what she eats. She is 10 and was a rescue cat at about 18 months after having kittens and then being spayed. She has always been fed on wet Whiskas with Jelly, preferring the beef variety until recently! A few weeks ago, she started...

An adorable young tom (apparently dumped in a field near our house) has adopted us, snoozing on the verandah and enjoying the food we put out for him daily but he won't let us closer than four or five feet.

We didn't ask for and don't have permission to name the source, so I won't, but a family member received this advice on commercial cat food from a nationally prominent professional: "Ironically, the most expensive foods are not usually better than lower priced foods. "I like Fancy Feast, Whiskas,...
