I am about to give a home to a brother and sister aged 6. The girl cat is all black and the boy black and white. Could I have name suggestions please ? Previous animals have been named using food or current singers' names, but any ideas are welcome..

Not too badly actually, he doesn`t think it`s constipation, says it`s more likely to be a stress thing. Gave him a jab, Depo-something, I asked about vaccinations, but he said to find out first if the cat rescue people had done them. They haven`t, so I`ll be making an appointment for that next. He struggled whilst he was being examined, but never moved a muscle when he had the jab, bless `im.

Re. pet insurance. Before you do please please read the small print.
You may find that the very reason , for which you would take out insurance, ( reasons) are not covered at all.

This one is for you.
Have you ever been in a position to ascertain whether it is male or female cats you are allergic to?
The sex of the animal can make a huge difference.
It is mostly the males that cause the allergies, this is also the case with dogs.

I always look for a name belonging to a musician or an opera singer or something.
I think cats are noble animals, always elegant and sophisicated.

Cats are also wild animals. They use us for their convenience and comfort, but as Jess says, on another thread, they also play havoc with our songbirds. We owe it to the birds to keep the cat population under control, difficult as this may be.
