BAD ADVICE FROM HOLLAND & BARRETT
TWB Cat Sitter replied to i*Rate's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
If the product states that it's not suitable for anyone under the age of 18 on the package, were you not given a warning by the brand itself? Why would any advice provided by H&B assistants override that? -

I can confirm people are feeding foxes locally, & all across London. The problem isn't so much whether they're being fed, but rather what they're being given. Unfortunately, a lot of the food offerings aren't suitable for foxes, which is why we see the kind of unpleasant evidence left behind. In many cases, people are feeding not to encourage foxes, but to treat foxes for mange. Left untreated, mange is fatal, & it would be cruel to leave any animal suffering. The treatment is often provided freely by both large & local rescues like the National Fox Welfare Society, The Fox Project, The Fox Angels Foundation.... & is backed by the RSPCA in what is known as target feeding, in a compassionate effort to administer life-saving medications. In other cases, it's an effort to lure & totally relocate the fox(es) to a safer environment. If you are having serious issues with foxes (outside the realm of them simply existing) you can contact Fox-A-Gon (Non-lethal fox control). "Foxes are protected under a series of wildlife protection laws. Poisoning, gassing, asphyxiating, maiming, stabbing, impaling, drowning, clubbing & most forms of snaring are a criminal offense, with anyone carrying out such acts subject to 6 months imprisonment and/or a £5,000 fine per animal."

Hi, Aqsa! I'm so happy to hear you've been reunited with Nido. It sounds like your intentions were to keep Nido housebound for the first few weeks of settling in, which is exactly what you should do. Transitioning from one space to another can be very unsettling for felines, especially given their hardwired territorial nature. But I would also recommend setting up a quiet, enclosed space with all of Nido's essentials & scent-soaked comforts. This would include food, water, litterbox (these 3 items spaced apart) + bedding, toys & scratching posts or boards. This safe space comes in particularly handy when you have visitors (specially strangers) coming & going, & leaving doors open like the contractors did. Monitoring & gradually allowing him to explore the rest of the home once he's showing signs of comfort & curiosity helps to prevent him from feeling overwhelmed. Enrichment plays such an important role in mental, physical & emotional wellbeing, so if you can provide 2 x 15 minute intervals of play per day, this will not only build up his confidence, but will naturally transfer the pheromones required to establish his territory. It's all about scent mapping in the early stages of a house move with a cat. Twb x -

I hate to see trees cut down to such an unfinished state. Unless the tree is home to wildlife, an effort should be made to remove & replace. Otherwise, it's just so useless & unsightly.

Please update your pups tag & microchip details. -

Hello, Does this lovely little panther have a name? & Is he neutered & microchipped? -
Any unwanted/unused cat scratcher lying around?
TWB Cat Sitter replied to Smiley_blue_1234's topic in Wanted
You might want to try the Peckham Facebook community group. I am located in East Dulwich & have 2 well-used scratchers: A large single post (ideal for an adult cat) & a small cat tree with 2 short posts (ideal for kittens) While the wear & tear is nowhere near as bad as the one shown in the link below, ideally the sisal should be replaced to get the best use out of it (& neutralise the scent of another cat) hence why I haven't donated these to a shelter. You may find this link helpful: https://thegreenmadhouse.com/diy/how-to-repair-your-cat-scratcher But you can just get a brand new one between £10-£30 on Amazon that'll last much longer. It all depends on what type of scratcher you're looking for; material, size, vertical or horizontal. Your little lion will let you know by whether they're currently scratching down or up, like a mat or armchair for example. More than happy to send location & leave in front garden for pickup.
