My cat goes out through a flap in the morning and comes back when she feels like it, which is usually fine and occasionally not. Twice this year she has been gone overnight and I spent both evenings walking around…
Complete accident, she yelped, and since then she leaves the room when I come in. She is eating normally and behaving normally with everyone else in the house, so it is specifically me. I know "apologise" is a human…
I scoop twice a day and I have started resenting it, which is unfair to the cats and not their fault. Budget tops out around $600 and the unit would live in a windowless bathroom, so noise and odour both matter more…
29 gallon planted tank, moderately stocked, currently running a hang on back that hums fine during the day and then becomes the loudest object in the room at 2am. It is not the water noise, I already raised the level so…
I have taken in a six month old male who has been used to wandering freely in the countryside. I now live on the second floor of a building with a shared entrance balcony, meaning he could get out whenever a neighbour…
One cat, third floor walk up, and hauling 12 kg of clay up the stairs every fortnight is the actual problem I am trying to solve. Tofu pellets are about twice the price per bag here but the bags are much lighter, so I…
Adopting a two year old indoor cat in September and I want a realistic monthly figure before I commit, not the number on the shelter leaflet. I own nothing yet, so I know month one is expensive. What I want is the…
22 kg mixed breed, six years old, currently on a mid range kibble he has eaten happily for four years. Bloodwork is normal, coat is fine, no itching, no gut issues: so I am not solving a problem, I am reacting to every…
One medium dog, about 300g of kibble a day, so a 15kg bag lasts me the better part of seven weeks. The big bag saves real money but I have started wondering whether the last third is worth eating by the time we get…
Two dogs, about 55 kg of dog between them, and food is the line item that keeps growing. A membership store bag is roughly half what I pay now per kilo, which over a year is real money I would rather put toward the…
Setting up a 10 gallon for a betta and a few shrimp, and every filter I look at is rated for 20 to 40 gallons because apparently nothing is made for small tanks any more. Budget about $35 including media. The two things…
Switched brands on the recommendation of a friend, bought the big bag because it was on offer, and she ate two mouthfuls and walked away. That was a week ago and she has not touched it since. The bag is open, obviously,…
Labrador, 30 kg, currently on an imported kibble that has roughly doubled in price over two years and is now regularly out of stock at both shops near me. Budget is about ₹6,000 a month and I can cook if that is…
