Money talks...to dead pets

A Romanian psychic can put grieving pet owners in touch with their dead animals, she has claimed. Nina Petre communicates with her clients through a website where she posts both the owners' messages and the pets' replies. One recently deceased dog is quoted as saying: "I just came from the dogs' judgement where I was told my good behaviour in life means I have a good chance to be sent back." The psychic charges a small fee, but as much as £80 for an online discussion. "I was blessed with telepathy by the divine grace," Ms Petre commented. I find this all a bit odd, to be honest. What do you reckon? You can find out more about Ms Petre and her ramblings here.

What's your perfect pet?

In a recent issue of Cage & Aviary Birds we flagged up a new section on the PDSA website that helps you to select a pet suitable to your lifestyle. I thought I would try it out to see whether it worked. Basically you're asked a series of questions relating to how much money you want to devote to your pet, how much time you can spare and whether you have a garden or not. Funnily enough, according to the responses I gave, my perfect pet is a bird! Click to discover your perfect pet.
