OK I've now removed the apostrophe! This weekend I had a good search around my "new" garden and looked for any possible entry points - these have now all been blocked. I have also removed the "bucket", and am happy to report no more new attacks. PS - Jamie, I don't have a Bengal anymore, I gave it to my Mum (who doesn't live in London, but out in the countryside) about 2 years ago. I did used to let him out and he was fine, but they are very curious and overly friendly cats - which can get them into trouble. They look very good and distinctive, which means that they could get nicked in the current era of dognapping that we are in. But having said that, I think the thieving Chav's are only after the 'ard looking dogs!
