I hope by this point you realise that I am talking about a cat. Anyway, my baby Tom was a Molesey boy until he went of to join the great cat heaven in the sky. Nowadays, Molesey pet store rarely sell cats, but occasionally you can find some kittens here. A few weeks ago there were some gorgeous Burmese cats here, but they didn't stay long. They treat what ever animals they have here really well. There are no dogs sold here, which is a good thing - I don't like the idea of pet stores selling dogs anymore. But they do sell plenty of doggy treats for all you pet lovers out there. This is where I pick up my dogs chocolate buttons, which are so much cheaper here then they are in Tesco's. They sell a few different types of birds here, like love birds and parrots. Plenty of fish too, and some bunnies, guinea pigs and hamsters. I melt when I see anything furry or fluffy, so I try not to come in here to much, as I would probably leave with something squeaky.

Sadly, Chris is not for sale. . . He is the owners pet, but he is adorable! My favourite animals are the degus. They are wonderfuly active, and are so cute and fluffy! I would just love one! Right now they are doing a deal where when you buy a cage - hamster cage. You get a free hamster with it. I realise that the hamsters are only £10, but this really helps when it is only three days from Christmas! Anyhoo, I recommend this pet shop to anyone reading this because it is truly delightful, and they will get you a great bargain!

Squires are a very popular garden centre, which is busy all year round…read more The high number of visitors means most of the stock is very fresh and not root bound. This makes a big difference as the quality is so much better and there plants tend to get off to a much better start once planted in the garden. They also have properly trained staff on hand to give plant advise - which probably accounts for why they are so popular. The downside is it's not the cheapest of garden centres - some of the bedding plants are almost double what you would pay in a DIY centre. Also the range of shrubs is a bit limited. If it was a restaurant it would have 3 Michelin stars - worth a long journey just to visit.

There are other Squires outlets, but for me the Twickenham branch, is a haven. When I was working…read moreon a project , there were three places I would go to check on their stock, and this was my first preference, though I would always save it as the last visit. Many garden centres have gone downhill and don't really take pride in their establishment , or worse are not knowledgeable on what they are selling. The plants they sell look as if they have met the patched and over frazzled soft shell crab from my other review. Not so here, and it is no surprise that this particular place has won various awards for its design layout. This for me is important since they have created an atmosphere that for me just leaves you to feel content and think freely. Yes there is the usual eating section which I never go to and pets corner , though I did find a use for bundles of straw and bugs bunny had long since taken a vacation. There is a good selection of gardening implements, fertilisers and growers, I am sure Percy Thrower would have been in his element. Once you have managed to pass the piles of soil , only you don't because there are so many different kinds , your uncertain which one to choose and then you notice.....oooh 3 for the price of 2 ...where's the trolly out of my way and you ignore the caution not to lift heavy objects on your own because you just want that bargain..and then oh dear you are already over loaded and you have not yet got to the plant section...and then you wield and guide and grunt and push....no don't worry this is still the same review...and you gaze in amazement at the symphony of colour. I need more time.. So back you go with the soil and you return at a later date...20 mins later you just dashed at ..the pace of a snail ;) For me the time to visit this branch is early Spring , March, for they have a collection of Rhododendrons ,Camellias , Magnolias, Azaleas and Acers that is second to none. I can't say if they will this year but last year they went that little bit extra and created a Japanese theme to complement it, It was then easy to get engrossed or yes I confess drool at a particular plant, and then imagining where I was going to plant it and how it would blend in with the rest of the garden, ..I would often get carried away and wonder what it would be like once it had fully matured. However, there will be no admissions of talking to plants or passing complements of beauty on its fauna. In the excitement of finding the right specimen and having giving it a thorough examination i might frequently get drawn to another...no honestly my feelings for you have not wained ..let me introduce you to...well okay it passes the time. I should point out that they don't just do Japanese plants, that is my particular choice, they have a wide variety and it is a large outlet. There are also two areas where you can obtain information. ..and when you completed your purchase they will if need be load your car up. It has been a while but I feel a visit to this place coming on.

Before I discovered this pet supplies store, I was buying from Amazon, which was often sold out of the only type of litter I liked. When I found this store, I saw they had a huge selection of everything, from dry and wet cat food, to raw treats to litter, toys...you name it. Prices are really competitive - beats or matches what I have found on Amazon but without having to wait for shipping. Their membership card is free and a portion of the store's proceeds go to charity of your choice. You can also find small pets here: small birds and parrots, gerbils, rabbits and chinchillas. They also have dog grooming. Those who say you can get a better deal at Tesco obviously aren't picky about the quality of products they are getting for their pets. I don't buy my cat any processed junky crap you find at Tesco and Sainsburys - I once had a cat develop IBS as a result of that sh*tty food. I only buy grain free organic now with as few ingredients as possible. I want my cat to live a long healthy life and stores like this make it possible. Keep your Tesco crap, I care too much about my kitty baby to feed him just anything. Well done, Pets at Home.

They raised the price in 1 month by 20% without telling me when I gave them my card details on a repeat order (from £57 to £70!) on my brand of dogfood and gave the only reason for doing this is the RRP on the Origen website had increased. (They did not, however, state that the unit cost price had increased so I would speculate that it hasn't!).

There's plenty to browse here with temptations around every corner and in each nook and cranny, from basics and practical items for the house and garden to awe-inspiring plants, herbs, trees and pots to contain them.

On a couple of occasions now, I have visited the store during my lunch-break to buy pet food. But on taking the items to the till to pay. I have been served (if you can call it that!), by a young lady who makes you feel a 'nuisance' by your mere presence!

I ordered a cat scratch tree which included a hammock and sleeping box etc. The plush material it's covered is cheap rubbish which falls apart like wet tissue paper leaving the hammock unusable and bits of fluff shedding everywhere off the rest of it. Had to remove it in case the cat swallowed bits and choked. I complained within a few days of receiving at and enclosing photos and asked for a refund which they refuse to give me. "Tracey" has emailed me saying all i'm entitled to is a replacement cover for the hammock which is pretty pointless as it's obviously in the same cheap material. She copies bits of consumer regulations in her emails and tries to twist them to make her point, saying the manufacurer is entitled to offer a repair and she's not responsible as the retailer even though I pointed out that the legislation actually means i'm entitled to a refund as I rejected the goods straight away as substandard. She also expects me to pay for return delivery (of a 9kg cat tree!!) when i've already paid for it to be delivered to me, so she can inspect it and report to the supplier. Never had such a disgraceful service from any shop online or otherwise, they've no idea about customer service and seem to think their Terms and Conditions negate Consumer Law-don't give them your money, there are plenty of other traders out there who won't mess you about, just wish i'd done a search for reviews before i ordered. She's twice said she's arranged a courier collection and then cancelled it, the last time saying i couldn't return the item as i don't have the original box. I've since complained to Consumer Direct who agreed with me that i was entitled to reject the goods under both the sale of goods act and distance selling regulations and that not having the original box made no difference at all to my rights. I sent her their advice and she now admits she was wrong about the original packaging being needed, but still won't give a refund until she's sent the material off to the supplier to inspect and report-meanwhile i'm still out of pocket when I was entitled to an immediate refund as I wasn't satisfied with the standard of the goods they delivered. It's annoying having to give them even the 1 Star the site makes you give as they don't even deserve that.
