there was never a day this cute chunky ball of fluff didn’t bring joy to the customers and to the staff,” said one store member. Staff at the store have also been affected by the loss of a cat who would spend hours basking on compost bags and lounging on trolleys, sometimes even catching a ride in one. She has her own little name for him – “Patchy”. She gets her dad to take her to Lidl every day to see him. A mum said Holyhead’s youngsters will be among those to miss him most. Elsa said: “China was a well-loved local celebrity and he needs a fitting tribute. Brutus, a tabby, spent most of his time at the supermarket before passing away from kidney disease. Elsa Simon said the entire town was in mourning. China was a former street cat taken in by Terry some ten years ago. “Loved seeing him outside Lidl, he was so cute and streetwise.” Another said: “Noooo! Owner Terry Wray sparked a wave of sadness when he took to social media to announce China’s passing. Countless shoppers would bring treats for China, who often demanded cuddles when they arrived at the store.

Flea-riddled cat living among piled-up faeces and eating dried pasta ... (WalesOnline)

Lola is still looking for a new home more than 320 days after being rescued, following RSPCA prosecution of previous owner.

They were also severely dehydrated, partly because of the overpowering heat in the property caused by an electric fire that had been left on in the lounge. The cats had also torn open packets of pasta and couscous to try to stay alive. The RSPCA prosecuted Lola’s owner, who was given a 16-week custodial sentence suspended for 12 months, and banned from keeping all animals for five years. A starving cat that was forced to live among rubbish and several weeks’ worth of piled-up faeces has been rescued by the RSPCA. Lola has since made a good recovery at the RSPCA’s Great Ayton Animal Centre where its favourite pastime is playing with a ping pong ball. A vet who examined all the animals after their rescue by the RSPCA in January last year said she had never seen creatures so "ravenously hungry" before.

Cat who ate dry pasta to survive still looking for loving home a year ... (ChronicleLive)

Five-year-old Lola was found in a house in Durham along with two other cats and an elderly blind dog after being repeatedly left to fend for themselves.

Lola adores cat treats, her box of catnip and playing with a ping pong ball in her pod. Lola was given a body score condition of only two out of nine and had to be put on a drip. The RSPCA prosecuted Lola's owner, who was given a 16-week custodial sentence, suspended for 12 months, and banned from keeping all animals for five years. Forced to drink water from the kitchen sink, the cats had torn open packets of pasta and couscous to try and stay alive. But she's sadly been overlooked by potential adopters and is now one of the longest-staying residents. Her new owners will need to be patient and give her space but we're confident she'll thrive and enjoy even more attention once she's settled. A vet who examined them after they were rescued by the RSPCA in January 2022 said she had never seen animals so 'ravenously hungry' before. But this little beauty is still looking for her forever home a year after being rescued and staff at the centre say that "after her traumatic past she really deserves to be happy." Could you provide a loving home for Lola? "After her traumatic past she really deserves to be happy; she's still a young cat and has her whole life ahead of her and we hope that sharing her story will help us to find her a wonderful new home."

'Sweet girl' Lola is still looking for her forever home more than 320 days after she was rescued.

Lola adores Dreamies, her box of catnip and playing with a ping pong ball in her pod. The RSPCA prosecuted Lola’s owner, who was given a 16-week custodial sentence, suspended for 12 months, and banned from keeping all animals for five years. The cats had also torn open packets of pasta and couscous to try and stay alive. But she’s sadly been overlooked by potential adopters and is now one of the longest-staying residents. The vet said they’d been suffering because of inadequate nutrition for at least six weeks and had they been left for another couple of days they would most likely not have survived. Lola was so hungry she resorted to eating dried pasta to stay alive as well as drinking water from the kitchen sink.

The #2 Best-selling Cat Product on Amazon Is This $10 Cat Litter ... (SheKnows)

That iconic song by Phoebe Buffay on Friends was so funny because it's true. We pet parents love our cuddly fur balls, but, wow, can they make some stinkers.

1 cat litter on Amazon, Fresh Step Clumping Cat Litter is a steal! Not even the most cat crazy among us loves dealing with the cat’s litter box, so any litter that can make that job a little easier is worth it. Plus, the ClumpLock technology in this litter locks in liquid and odor on contact to form tight clumps and make scooping fast and easy. Let’s face it, kitty litter is can be the bane of existence for a cat parent. It’s hard to believe something so cute and little can make such a massive stench that it permeates the whole house, no matter where the litter box is located. … I would most definitely recommend this litter to anyone who loves their nostrils LOL.”
