Advice on areas to buy our first home please

Hi all,

My husband and I are looking at places to buy our first home max £700k for approx 3 bed.

We wanted to look at Hertfordshire but honestly I’m a little overwhelmed with areas and wanted to ask for help.

We want an area safe for children, good school, maybe village vibes but not compulsory and ability to get to central London in an hour max for work.

Any area recommendations would be so appreciated :)

Guys, invest in these dog cooling vest for this heat. I promise your floofs will thank you!

Hey all,

Spoke about this last year too but I think it’s even more important in this insane heat. Cooling dog vest are amazing for cats (as most things aren’t made for cats, I have to make do haha), I bought it last year and then bought 2 more this year as it’s such a lifesaver.

They keep my cat cool for like 6 hours and then I rinse it with water again and he’s not a fan of putting it on but it’s happy once it’s on, and can fall fast asleep (he never sleep in the heat as it’s too much for him).

Got this one for pets at home, for reference Cleo weigh 4.6kg and is a size S. Hope your floofs enjoy the coolness :)

Is the AirTag collar comfy on your floof? Cat tax appreciated

Hi All,

So Cleo, whose mother seems to post him on this forum weekly 😂 is a flight risk.

When he was a kitten, his kitten harness broke open and he ran to the back of the garden, that was when we realise that’s a lovely gap in the broken fence (we had just moved in 🙄) thankfully he’s a food fiend, with no survival skills so after 20 mins, smelt the food and came back. Any tiny window gap is a goal too (we have chains on).

Anyways, as we take him out a lot, we wanted to get him an AirTag collar, how does your floof feel about wearing it, it looks big so I’m scared he will be uncomfortable.

Does this ring combo work?

Hi all,

So I’ve been looking for a band for my ring, I’m can’t tell if I love this stack. I love the combo on others but they usually have a solitaire. Due to the way my ring is set, there will always be a gap between the band, unless I get a custom ring made.

I love love love when others have their stack with a gap. But I still have get use to loving it on mine. I don’t know if I need a small width band or different gem shape. Please help!

Show me the floof and tell me the crime…I’ll start!

This is Cleo, he decided to sneak into mummy’s room in the middle of the night and bite through her mini fan’s irresistibly spongy lanyard. Even though, mummy had been hiding it under her pillow for the past week.

When confronted Cleo acted innocent, smelt it, just to make sure it was really his crime and then went back for seconds 🤦🏻‍♀️

What pet air purifiers do you use?

Hi all,

Currently looking for a good pet air purifier for my floof Cleo’s hair. He sheds a lot and that’s with a lot of grooming! So I think it’s time for an upgrade.

Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Tell me your cat sitter experiences - the good, bad and ugly

Hi all,

I’m leaving my floof for the first time to go away and I’m looking at cat sitter. I haven’t got a clue what I’m doing I’ll be honest.

I literally feel like I just letting a stranger in to my personal space to look after a piece of my heart (which is literally what I’m doing haha) but I would love to hear everyone’s experiences and any advice on how to find a good cat sitter.

Currently looking at sitters on Pawshake website, hope that’s a good place to start :/

London/Surrey floof owners - recommendation for cattery or cat sitter please

Hi all,

We are looking to go away on holiday and I was wondering who everyone gets to look after their floofs when they are away.

From what I’ve read cat sitters on Reddit I assume cat sitters may be more beneficial for cats due to the unknown territory with catteries but I don’t know.

Any help or recommendations are appreciated ☺️
