FOUND!!! 'Polly' - our medium hair tabby cat (Friern / Upland Road area)


Recommended Posts

Excited and relieved to say there's been a happy outcome! Polly just reappeared after 2 long days and nights away.


It appears that she had got caught in a 'Mouse Glue Trap' which looks like some kind of strong adhesive mouse catcher. Pix attached.


She'd somehow managed to tear herself loose with half of the trap still attached to her bushy tail. God knows where the trap was and I dread to think about what would have happened had she not been able to get free.


I've never seen these kind of traps. If you are using them, please know that while it's presumably effective at catching rodents, there's clearly a risk of snaring other animals too.


We are just thrilled to have her home safely and I hope that all those with missing pets have similar fortune.

Hello - Our lovely cat Polly (sister of Pippin) has disappeared.


We live on the top part of Friern Road a few houses along from Goodrich Road, our garden backs on to the gardens of houses on Upland Road (near Mother Goose nursery).


I've attached a picture. She's a moggie: brown, black and a bit of white. Medium to long hair with a quite bushy tail. She's micro chipped and has a silver collar with a pink heart tag wih her name and phone number on it.


If anyone has happens to have seen her in the past 36 hours please reply or send me a private message.

Fingers and paws crossed!

Thank you so much! Yes she's gorgeous. She and her brother like to roam the gardens between Friern and Upland but she's never not come back for so long. Might be stuck somewhere. Hopefully she's ok and will show up. Will have to get posters up :-(

Thank goodness for that... Brilliant news she's managed to get herself home:)


I hate these Traps... If you ever go inside most pound shops, there is a whole section of mouse clue traps and other nasty looking types of traps and sprays stacked all over the shelves on sale for anyone to buy. It shouldn't be made so easily to get hold of and I strongly believe this should be illegal and left in the hands for professional use only.


so pleased she's home, thanks for letting us know :)

    • what's scandalous is our government allowing it. The should and can impose fines and order works which would lead to TW becoming bankrupt, at which point it can be taken back into the public domain.
    • The privatisation of water is just ridiculous. I have the Safer seas and rivers service app on my phone (recommend it if you like to swim outside) and the regular (weekly) sewage dumps highlighted all along the south coast is just outrageous.
    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.
