Hi Everyone,


I'm sorry to be the person posting bad news for someone but there is a dead cat near the top of Barry Road. It's in between two parked cars almost opposite the first bus stop. It's black and white, looks as if it was well cared for, shiney coat and all that. I have reported it to the council as I was at a loss as to what else to do, it's not a cat I recognise, I hope I did the right thing.


Kind Regards

Emma

Hubby just investigated - it is a small black and white cat - I imagine being hit by a car and someone has put it to the side of the road.

Whilst I am releaved that it is not our Gerry ( who is large and micro chipped) this will be someone's pet and they will be very upset. Many thanks for putting this on the forum.

No problem, I was a bit worried it was my neighbour's cat initially but he's playing in the garden. It's strange as I don't often see cats out the front, it's made me re-think whether I will let ours out when they're old enough.

It's very sad, I feel for the owners.

It's always best to let them out back.


Terrible news. I'm so sorry for whoever the kittie belonged to. :(


Keep cats away from busy roads, or any roads. I'm seeing an awful lot of them lately, including kittens who obviously have owners.

Long time since I've had a cat, but if you're going to let them out at all, how can you keep them away from roads?


Surely they will just roam wherever they want to?

No. Not always.


If you get your young cat used to going outside from a back door, that leads into the garden, they are very much less likely to want to use the front & therefore will roam back gardens & not busy streets.


This isn't always the case - but it can definetly be prevented & worth a shot, if you care enough.

Thank you for the messages, she was our cat and we are very sad she died. Like many, and according to Callie's somewhat strangely timed advice, I let her out in the back garden and didn't know she could even get to the front as she's never been a particularly adventurous cat but, obviously being a cat, she did exactly as she pleased.


Thank you for all your kind words.

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?

      If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
