Deranged cat person

[steveo]

I've been spotting little piles of 'matter' on the lane for a while. 'Pavement pizzas' I thought but the piles are too neat and there are no carrots.

This morning it has been confirmed; somebody is leaving out piles of food for kitty or kitties unknown and dumping the tins and packaging beside them.

This is bonkers beyond all imagining. Either someone needs help or a stiff talking to

[Azalea]

Likely to be put out for foxes. Someone near me puts ripped up bread out on road near kerb.

[Penguin68]

Maybe this is how the cat ripper operates? He/ she has to catch them somehow.

[peckham_ryu]

They need a littering fine. Rats eat cat food too.

[dirac]

There's a lady that does it near mine, but stands there and waits for the cats to be done and then clears up the rest. Fair play to her, cus the owner of the cats has completely neglected them since they were kittens/doesn't give a fuck. They were left outside on the doorstep when they were probably less that a month old in the coldest part of winter to fend for themselves and basically live under parked cars now.

You could try contacting Celia Hammond Animal Trust on Lewisham Way and they would probably collect the cats to find them a safe home as living under parked cars isn't going to be safe .

You ought to report this to the South Norwood rescue liberty - http://snarl.org.uk/

If it's linked that would be horrible.

Cats (it is reported) kill 55 million birds (and over 200m mammals, including hedgehogs) annually in the UK. Which probably explains why I have seen no small birds at all in my garden for the last fortnight or more - when I used, only a few years ago, to get robins (a breeding pair), a variety of tits and sparrows in abundance on my terrace. Even last year I might have expected to see numbers of small birds feeding. But more recently I have only had cats stalking there. It is a feral wasteland, populated only by magpies, pigeons and screeching parakeets.

Friendship with the boat in the ocean of life is impossible easy, sometimes encounter clouds and storms, and in this case, the friendship should be this or that test after these dark clouds and storms, and then the friendship will more consolidated, true friendship, in any case will shine new light.

When I lived well away from London the birds seemed to

survive the many cats on their wits - the cats would try

stuff to like climbing up the center of hedges and lying

still for hours. But we always still had plenty of birds.

If no birds I suspect humans unfortunately.

If a bird allows itself to get caught by a cat, it's obviously bloody stupid.. and should make way for more intelligent species.

[DulwichFox]

I know an old lady who swallowed a cat,

Imagine that, to swallow a cat!

She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,

She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,

That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,

She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,

I don't know why she swallowed the fly,

I guess she'll die.

In defence of felines (which I adore, though I do think Terry Pratchett (great catlover) was right when he said "If the little buggers looked like frogs we'd all realise how evil they were") the RSPB are of the opinion that cat predation is not responsible for any decline in bird numbers (and actually apart from sparrows and certain rare countryside species there doesn't seem to be one); birds naturally overbreed to ensure they produce two surviving offspring, the majority of birds caught by cats are ones which were already ill or injured. I've never seen a cat manage to catch a healthy bird (though of course it must happen sometimes). Also worth noting that many experts are of the opinion that without domestic cats the rat problem in urban areas would be well nigh insuperable.

Can you clarify exactly where this is taking place?

[P.O.U.S.theWonderCat]

Humans do more to decimate birds and other wildlife than cats. If its a serious concern to you, I highly recommend avoiding procreation.

Something must be done about the CATastrophic effect this is having on our bird population...

Have plenty of cats, plenty of birds in our garden. Works just fine.
