BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Kitten Sales; Home Fragrance; Pre-Paid Funeral Plans

Kittens are in demand, and breeders are selling kittens that are underage and unwell.

Kittens have been in demand over the pandemic, and prices are skyrocketing. Research by this programme shows kittens are being advertised that are underage and could have health problems.

Luxury candles and diffusers have been surging in sales over the past year- it looks like we're treating ourselves while we're at home. We speaker to Master Perfumer Roja Dove.

We speak to the Financial Conduct Authority about its new plans to regulate the pre-paid funeral market where elderly people were often targeted by cold callers.

After the Grenfell Fire a report recommended disabled people living in high rise buildings, or flats affected by the cladding scandal should have personal evacuation plans. Disabled people say it's not happened - we speak to disabled residents living in these fire risk buildings.

Presenter: Samantha Fenwick
Producer: Lydia Thomas

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
