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.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
