Morning,


We found a black cat with a very injured front leg on Blackwater st. Apart from the leg wound he looks well groomed and fed. We've called the RSPCA and some of the guys arriving for work down there are keeping an eye on him/her until they arrive. IM me for the exact location. Danielle

My 10 month old Black Bengal kitten went missing in the early hours of Friday morning 1 April around Pellatt / Landcroft Road. She's called Miu and she is quite small. She has no collar. She has the rosette and stripe markings but these can only be seen easily in sunlight.


I've attached a picture so you can see if it was Miu you found injured.


Thanks for your help.

Hi Marc,


I'm sorry to hear this- you must be worried sick.

The cat in question was definitely a grown adult we think. weve both looked at the photos and don't think this was her.


SNARL went down in the end to see what was what but didn't find the cat. I'm hoping it managed to hobble home...

I'm astonished at the last two comments. How does anyone know if the OP had a suitable basket to have transported the cat? or if they had transport to the nearest vet (which presumably would be Lordship Lane)? It is incredibly difficult to get some cats into a basket to take them to a vet, let alone when they have been injured and are traumatised anyway. I can just imagine how one of my cats would have reacted if a complete stranger had tried to take them to a vet (possibly by public transport) when they were injured and terrified. I somehow suspect that the people the OP said were arriving for work might not have had cat baskets to hand either. I think the OP did everything anyone could reasonably be expected to do and it's completely out of order for people to be criticising her for actually bothering to do something when many people would have ignored the cat.
I'm sorry - I have a full time job- which I was already late for - and no box for the cat. I was just trying to do a nice thing by putting a post on here. Thanks for your nasty comments calling me an idiot and uncaring. Its really hurtful. I alerted the RSPCA, SNARL and a local guy working nearby. I did the best I could in the circumstances.
Sue- I dons know if the RSPCA turned up. The vet we rang advised us to call them but on my way to work I also messaged SNARL who were able to get down there quickly and gave me an update. So I'm afraid I dont know if the RSPCA made it- no reason to think ill of them from my post.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
