  Gosh, all amounts quoted seem HUGE (apart from Badger). We do not have a pool and live in a smaller 2 bedroomed open planned house.  We pay Enel approx 500 euros, 300 gas and 500 wood.  Have noticed Enel prices were higher last year than the previous three years.....Do wear alot of clothes tho' !!!!!!!

  Hi Jo and Simon, Spoke to friend - complicated, but partner (italian) owns house in mountain village...over-run by cats...... Neither she, nor he had heard of the 'community programme' to neuter cats and was of course interested....  Unsure whereabouts you are....maybe not far from me ??? but I do have to call into vets in Sarnano Friday so will ask what 'semi-feral' constitutes then......  Sorry cant be of more help just now but I will spread the word and get back to you with any interesting info asap.
