Ginger cat - please stop feeding he has a family and is well loved


Recommended Posts

Our very well loved ginger tom cat Woody, came home this morning wearing a blue collar. He has never worn a collar from us, however is microchipped.


Please could I request that whoever (if on the forum) put that collar on our cat please refrain from doing so. Also if he has been visiting you frequently and you've been feeding him please STOP - he is very overweight now and it is risking his health. I do however realise that these actions were likely carried out with the best intentions


He is a much loved member of our family and well cared for here. Please do not continue to entice him into your home.


Many Thanks


Hannah

I agree. Put a note with a contact number on the collar for the feeder to read.

We had EXACTLY the same problem with one of my two cats before we moved here, and this was how we contacted the feeder. It's incredibly frustrating, so I feel your pain.

Happened to a cat I had years ago when a neighbour who kept feeding him refused to when I asked her to stop. She said the cat spent more time at her place so it was now her cat !

She lived next door and spoilt it rotten. I wasn't going to get in to a 'treats war' with her, so let it be and cat came back of its own accord. When neighbour asked me to stop letting cat in my house I said, "soends more time at my house now, so MY cat". Catnip played a part if I'm honest, I grew kilos of the stuff.

Our cat is a greedy puss and frequently taps the neighbours up for snacks. I've been and spoken to those that we know. Most have been very obliging once I explain the health issues and that as a last report we will have to keep her inside if she doesn't loose weight. I also made little "beware thief" & mugshot posters and put them through a few doors saying she would steal food so watch out, and included our number in case she was a pest. A few of our other neighbours have responded to this and she finally seems to be slimming down...

Best thread for ages. Keep having images of massive fat cat licking its lips as it thuds up the street demanding food from every house and passerby. Images of a kid tying another note on the cat saying, "Ignore previous message, I have a medical condition that makes me fat. Feed me NOW!"

Thank you all for being so kind. He seems to be around the house a little more recently.


Regarding his gargantuan size - don't joke - he really is huge, you can hear him coming from miles away! heaven help our floors when he jumps off the bed!

    • Nor me, I left there years ago, even though it's just round the corner from where I live.
    • I noticed this announcement en passant while doing various searches on the libraries website.  When I eventually went back to  make a proper note, I couldn't find it.  Eventually discovered it in the middle of the catalogue basic search page, and thought it well to post it here too. Easter opening hours All libraries will be closed on the following days: Friday 29 March 2024   Sunday 31 March 2024  Monday 1 April 2024 
    • I am at The Gardens. I saw GP on a Wednesday and he recommended physio, he checked availability and offered Tessa Jowell Centre for Saturday at 1 pm or Forest Hill Road Practice on a Monday at 11 am. I chose FH- very efficient/ Physio at FH very helpful, sent me some neck exercises and referred me for spinal assessment at Kings.
    • Of course, people's experiences may vary, but I'm afraid I can't recommend the DMC on Crystal Palace Rd.
