Anyone know this cat

Recommended Posts

Just wondering if this is your kitten: we live on Hillcourt Road and for the last few weeks a tiger-striped (caramel and black stripes) kitten with white lower socks has been coming into our house, playing with our cats, sleeping on our sofa when we are out, generally making itself at home and hanging out with our cats (including tucking into their food).


It's a persistant so and so and whilst we have no issues with it hanging around (nor, rather bizarrely, do our two cats) I just wondered whether it does have a home to go to!!


Thanks

You don't say how old the kitten is? But presumably it is too young to have been chipped? All you can really do is ask around the immediate neighbours, which I imagine you have already done anyway.


We have had a marmalade and white cat treating our place as a second home for around five years now. And our two cats similarly more or less accept him, although he does acknowledge he is third in the pecking order where food is concerned. He's always been sleek and healthy-looking so clearly had a "real" home somewhere. Anyway we finally got organised and stuck a collar round his neck with a note saying "If this is your cat can you please phone...." And a day later we got the phone message from a slightly miffed owned who thought we were trying to catnap. She said that even as she wa sleaving this message he was contentedly asleep on her bed - by the time her message was listened to though he was asleep on our sofa! It turned out he lived in a house backing on to the gardens of next door but one. We soon reassured her and he still visits to snooze and snack and hang out.

Rocket beware. You are being targeted by this greedy animal. This is what cats do when their owners start buying Iams instead of Cesar. You are being staked out and should treat the little c&nt like you'd treat one of the ponces who swindle change out of E.D's more gullible citizens. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

Thanks for the warning. ;-) Rather oddly the poor little blighter will willingly chomp down on the Iams we gave it (our cats wouldn't touch the stuff so we had some spare). It is such a gorgeous cat but is not chipped, has no collar and seems to have taken up residence under a bush at the end of our garden. I do wonder whether it has been dumped as it is not a pure bengal cat - if it starts looking a bit ropey over the next few days we may take it to the vets and see if there is a chip on it somehwere. Our cats seem to have adopted it though so the decision may be made for us!!

i am guessing that you have taekn this cat to the vets to check if its been microchipped. if you are concerned then maybe put some posters up locally or leaflets thru neighbours doors. Alternatively get a soft collar and either see if the collar gets taken off or write a note on it.

fine idea - ages ago a cat kept coming round and we wondered if it was a stray, so we put on a collar with a note inside: name, mobile number, call if yours or we're getting it chipped and keeping it. Called that night. At least you know.


with our current cats you can feel where the chip is, back of the neck, just above the shoulder blades. bit bigger than a grain of rice. just gives you an idea of whether of not it's worth checking it with a vet.

we also live on Hillcourt and have a visiting cat we can't get rid of. He / she is a 4-5 yr black and white shorthair with collar and seems to come from either overhill or further up Hillcourt.

He/she eats its body weight in food each day so if anyone has a cat that hits the above description and your cat strangely eats nothing but is maintaining weight, pls change your food to ocean flavour Iams as that is what it likes....

We are doing everything we can to keep it out, but are losing the war...

    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.     
    • Anyone else received a cold call from this company pretending to be calling on behalf of EE? When I asked how they’d got my data they said ‘from East Dulwich forum’. I have contacted the Admin to find out whether EDF are selling our data to marketing companies or if they’ve been hacked. Alternatively the website is being scraped somehow.    Just warning others in case anyone else receives a call- it’s a scam, do not engage with them 🙂
