Black cat, possible stray - corner of Landcroft and Pellatt Road

We saw a small black, little bit fluffy cat on the corner of Landcroft and Pellatt road shortly after Christmas. It was very friendly and jumped on to my knee when I bent down to pet it.


We've just seen it again now and it's lost a lot of weight and fur. It looks like it's struggling with its back legs as well. We tried knocking on doors nearby but no one was in.


We were very worried about it so have taken it to the vet to scan for microchip. If anyone knows anything about the cat or its owners please let me know.


Thanks - I'll upload a pic later

When we went back we weren't able to find it, so haven't been able to take it to the vet to get it scanned.


It has lost a lot of fur from it's hind quarters and along it's back and is very skinny.


I'll keep checking back to see if I can spot it again.

It's so hard to know if it's well cared for or not. From what I can see it's underweight and the loss of fur on it's back legs and back look like some kind of problem with fleas or mange. But it's almost impossible to guess at its circumstances. Cats get ill/fleas/lose weight in the best of homes.


singalto: does the cat you're talking about have quite a lot of fur loss? I think the one we met must be well known as it's very friendly.

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
