Cheltenham Science Festival looks at the secret lives of animals

Academics from the University of Bristol are set to debate cats and dogs at the Cheltenham Science Festival.

Animal behaviour and welfare experts from Bristol's School of Veterinary Science will take a glimpse into the hidden world of cats with executive producer Helen Thomas from BBC Cat Watch 2014.

Dog behaviourist Dr Emily Blackwell, vet and presenter Mark Evans, and Secret LIves of Dogs producer Kirsty Wilson will explain what dog's actions tell us about what they are thinking.

'The wild cat in your home' debate will take place on Sunday, June 7 at 10 am in the BBC Science Zone. Tickets are free and seats will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis.

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.
