Knitters can craft their creations each month with Battersea's cats for company.

Battersea's cattery launches a knitting club

Knitters and kittens are joining forces for Battersea Dogs and Cats Home's new knitting club.

Whether a novice or a knitting expert, cat lovers have been invited to the charity's London cattery for the world's first interspecies knitting club.

With Battersea's cats for company, knitting club members can make donations including knitted mice, blankets and toys. Or, they can work on their own projects or make items for their own pets.

The Knittin' Kittens Club is meets monthly at 5pm till 8pm, from Wednesday, October 15.

While the club is free to attend, donations to the charity are greatly appreciated.

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
