Did anyone else get one through their door yesterday? Just a picture of rescue cat asking not to feed as needs special medicine. No contact no or anything,or to say it's lost. A bit strange/annoying, depending what way you take it lol.


just to add I'm talking about getting a flier through the door (not the cat!) :)

I don't go near other people's pets let alone feed them. Maybe not strange or annoying to you but it is to me & I'm pretty sure I'm not alone.

Hi, it's a young looking white moggy with dark back & tail. I will try to upload the picture later as not done it from this phone before.

Not sure I understand why it's strange or annoying. As someone with a rescue cat who had special dietary needs, I did have cause to wonder at one point if someone else might be feeding him which would explain why he was still getting sick. Some people might not realise that this could be an issue and I have certainly heard of people feeding strange cats that turn up at their door. So if my cat was continuing to get sick, I might well be driven to send a note round to nearby neighbours in case.


Just ignore if it doesn't apply to you.

This thread seems to have gotten a little heated!

Hi Callie - I got the flyer too. Completely understand the rationale behind the flyer.

Toby is quite well known in the area - always see him having fights with other cats. In fact I have literally just seen him having a massive fight with a big ginger moggie in our front garden - a lady passing the fight had to intervene with her M&S shopping bags!

This isn't our cat, but we have done the same thing. It was on the advice of our vet, so no, not stupid at all. Our cat got overweight, then ill as someone was continually luring him and and tempting him with food. As a pet owner, there's nothing nice about having to pay ?500 in vet bills and medicine because he's eaten something meant for humans. Letting the neighbours know not to feed is the only preventive thing.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
