There is no denying cats love food, but what happens when yours seems to be hungry all the time? If your cat shows signs of an increased appetite, begs, whines or gets aggressive around its food bowl, it could be a sign of an underlying medical condition. It could also be that your cat is bored, craving your attention or even experiencing a psychological issue.
Everyone knows cats are the Houdini’s of the animal world. Present them with the tightest of spaces, and they will take the challenge head-on (sometimes literally). Seeing some of the predicaments, they’ve gotten into; the question has to be why do cats like tight spaces?
How fluent in feline are you? We bet if you turned to the person next to you now and asked them what noise a cat makes, the answer would be ‘meow’.

We often get questions from customers who are worried that cats may hurt hedgehogs visiting the garden. The truth is that whilst they may love hedgehog food, 8 out of 10 cats (probably more like 9 out of 10 actually) are way too smart and lazy to tangle with a spikey visitor.

More and more, people are finding ways to coexist in peace with free-roaming outdoor cats. One way to help stray cats and feral cats in your area is to build a winter cat shelter, or even an all-seasons outdoor cat shelter. It’s easier than you might think.
You might have heard the term “community cats” — or you might not have. It’s a fairly new term. Community cats are unhoused cats living in or near a human community. Not only has our name for these cats changed, but many communities’ responses to their presence is changing, as well.

1 in 10 people in the UK suffer allergic reactions to cats and dogs. Strictly speaking, hypoallergenic cats don’t exist. But some breeds are definitely much better than others for allergy sufferers.
Cat hairballs are a common occurrence, but there’s more to them than meets the eye. You see, while it’s okay for your cat to exorcise a furball or trichobezoars once in a while, regularly spewing them isn’t something a healthy cat should be doing.
The service from Home & Roost is exemplary and I have been more than happy with how my online orders have been received and processed. Delivery is always quick and my goods are very well packaged. I would much rather support a family business than a national chain, so Home & Roost will always get my custom!
Bought a double hutch and run for our guinea pigs and they were super helpful. Little chocolate Freddo in one box and Harribo in the other for the kids to munch on while daddy built the hutch & run. Great communication / customer service, fab. products and they're lovely too. Highly recommended them!
I 1000% recommend home and roost, there hutches are very well made, the wood is thick and there super sturdy when together, I did have a few issues with a missing door and divider and also a few cracked parts however their customer service team are 5⭐️ and sorted everything for me the same day and sent new parts out I will defiantly be using again
Such a helpful man who went the extra mile to ensure that the carrier had precise instructions on where to leave the hedgehog house and food etc., as the recipient would be out. He was polite and eager to help.
Wow I’ve been blown away by the amazing service and quality of product with Home and Roost. I literally knew nothing and they were so helpful! Even told me how I could get a discount and generally made me feel like I was in an exciting journey and not just a customer! I especially loved the lollipop when I opened the packaging! Which was all all plastic free and that pleases me greatly too!! 👍👍👍👍
Great products, but what impressed me most was the speed at which I received them. Who expects an online order to arrive the following day (or early the day after that, my memory fails me)? Certainly not me, but sure enough there it was! Amazing service, thank you!
