Default Quick question on Pets

I'm looking to get one to replace my mum as shes too noisy

What pets are out there that dont need a massive amount of attention. I'm looking at getting something pretty soon, but not sure what to get ....

Oh and I'm not into spiders and crawlies Any ideas?

Do cats need bundles of wedge spending on them at the vets? I'd hate to spend money into one then have to scrape the fooker up off the road

Nah not really Nath! my old cat never cost us a penny other than injection once a year!

Though i can see William (cats name) cost a bit more as hes fookin crazy

Well worth it mate! My Dad used to not hate cats but when we got the first he liked loved them well the cat we had as he still wasnt overly stuck on others

piss funny that one aint it, one just looks at the other and then the other does a crab style walk before pouncing

not expensive at all nath, i feed em both on dry food (iams) which is £14 for a huge bag that lasts ages, far nicer than cleaning up the bowl after whiskas type food ...and its mega high protein too injections are as rhys says next to nowt, just had both mine spayed and the bill was £42

cats rule pal, mind you i did have to remove a dead frog from the kitchen a few weeks back AND to make matters worse i forgot to shut all 3 of the living room doors that night so the fuckers ragged it round the cream carpet as if just to piss me off love em to bits though. MIA and VINNY ex named em after pulp fiction characters
