People here may wish to know...


George was involved in an accident of some sort between last night and this morning and sadly didn't make it.


A big thank you to the manager at the Brickhouse Cafe for getting him to a vet who contacted us today with the news.


We got George when he was around two years old from the Celia Hammond rescue home.


He was a stray, and ever since we've had him he's been prone to wandering long distances and getting lost.


His first two years with us saw regular posts to the East Dulwich Forums; us looking for him, people reporting him found.


With all his wandering, and living so close to Lordship Lane, it was inevitable something would happen one day.


Keeping him indoors permanently was never an option, he'd quickly go stir-crazy and dart out through any available exit.


A big thank you to...


- All of you on here that have helped find him over the last few years - we've appreciated the help!


- The staff and customers of the EDT and Actress who put up with his regular visits for strokes and scraps.


- All the local Dulwich residents with their open door / window policy and cat snacks.


- The friendly commuters who greeted him each morning on their way to work as they passed our house.


- And of course to George himself, who brought a smile to so many people's faces every day.


We'll miss you George, you handsome devil you, keep smiling.


Love Bella, Clara, Kati and Rob.

So very sorry to hear this, used to see him around and about, dashed handsome devil he was.


One of our pet rabbits died recently and I thought people would be a bit cynical about us being upset, then my father said to us "What the hell is the point in having a pet if you don't become emotionally engaged with it?"


Bless you for giving him such a grand life.


Take care,

So sorry to hear this - we really loved George and we always looked forward to his visits. He'd pop in through open doors and windows and stay for an hour or two for some cuddles and to chase an old bit of string before heading off on his travels again. He was an absolutely wonderful chap, such a lovely friendly personality and we often thought how lucky you were to have someone like him. Poor little thing. We will miss him.
George was a very special handsome chap and was even part of our cats gang despite the odd hiss. We will all miss him lots. I did pop round Rob/Katie to say how sorry I was and was only on the forum as Squiggly wasn't around this morning so getting worried! Maria,Helen, Charlie and Squiggly.

    • But we’re not in Canada so why celebrate their recent election? Wasn’t their winner our Bank of England director up until his defection to his homeland of Canada? He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.
    • I expect that they consider it should be a free choice what to do with your waste, and that segregating it is a waste of money, no doubt it's all a woke conspiracy.  I expect that others are more up to speed with Reform policies. I should have asked Nigel when I was drinking with him.  Well within the vicinity of him in Westminster pubs a couple of times.
    • Let's see how a Leader and party that thrive on division and demonising elements of our society actually do when they have to deliver. Let's hope that the two main parties don't consider that the best way to fight Reform is to become like then. Even less reason to visit the small town where I grew up.  Not a cause for any joy or celebration. Happy to celebrate the Canadian result.
    • The Reform Party has surely taken the Conservatives and Labour by surprise? I’ve been a Conservative voter since the age of 18 and voted for them in the General Election last Summer. Sadly Labour were elected but their policies on so many issues have been their downfall as they did not stick to them.
