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.

      Up the reform

      of course most people would avoid the "stupid" term - but I'm sticking with it fact is no other European would be so dumb, and even with the same information, the  same media, the same everything, 2 of the countries within the UK saw ho stupid an idea it was - but only the English (who played a large part in the Welsh result) pushed ahead - there is something defiantly arrogant and stupid and it isn't just down to bad info and bad leadership But that was all 2016 - it's people in 2025 who claim it to be a good idea executed badly who are especially stupid Now - does calling people stupid help anyone? It's not especially politically gainful and just gets peoples' backs up - but it remains a truth and only when the country as a whole genuinely holds it's hands up and admits the stupidity (rather than downplaying it as a poor decision - no shade meant Mal - you are just nicer and politer than me) will it begin. to turn the tide Also worth mentioning that yes I am as intractable and blunt with friends and family who voted Leave as well - this isn't me hiding behind some online anonymous account. This is what I'm like

      Petsitter available over Summer

      By bleumarine · Posted

      Hello My name is Lizzie and I work locally as a dog walker and nanny. I won’t be needed over Summer so will have full availability for a dogsitting job. I have a DBS certificate and will provide several dogsitting references as well. Please note that I can only watch your pet at your home since they are sadly not allowed in my flat! Looking forward to hear from you

      The decision to leave the EU was a poor one, but I'd avoid the term stupid when applied to the masses (the decision was of course stupid) and blame those who willingly misled.  A certain N Farage (pronounced with a hard G rather than the soft G he affected, rather continental eh?) being one of the main culprits. He blames the Tories for not delivering Brexit, and not really clear how Labour are playing this.  But ultimately what sort of Brexit were people voting for?  And ditto what future were people voting for last Thursday?
