There are times when my pets drive me crazy. Take Minnie the chihuahua puppy, for instance — now a teenager of one year and two months and currently snuggled on my chest. Suu, the eight-year-old Burmese cat, is dozing on the arm of my chair, and all the while I'm trying to concentrate and type on my laptop.

These perpetual nuisances have also come very close to killing me, more of which later. Nevertheless, I would spend my life savings to save them — or indeed Madge, the eight-year-old chihuahua female for sale near me, and Frieda, the ancient one of 18 years.

So I could totally empathise with Katie Courts and Paul Giller, the couple whose cat Billie needed more veterinary care than any pet owner could have anticipated. So far he has cost them their £25,000 life savings.

They've dubbed Billie 'the bravest cat in Britain' after he survived cat Covid, was mauled by dogs and succumbed to sepsis.

The first vet bill, in 2021, for feline coronavirus treatment came to £4,000. The attack by four dogs came when Billie had been out walking with his owners.

His injuries were so severe he was taken to a specialist veterinary hospital. The bill was £15,000. Now he's being treated for sepsis, a further £6,000.

Some might say, 'Come on, it's just an animal. Let it go and get another one.' Or, 'Don't give up your summer holiday just for an unlucky cat.'
