It's a bit simplistic blaming cats for the decline in bird populations, it's human activity as a whole in particular land management and farming practices. Climate change no doubt is beginning to damage numbers, the changes in the season are already creating issues with the food not being around at the right time in the nesting season. That said our domestic cats are an introduced species, so bird predation on birds is not natural; the number of indigenous wild cats in the days gone past would have been pretty small and tiny now down to a few 100 in Scotland. That said many urban birds are semi domesticated as they rely so much on people to feed them, and some such as goldfinches are doing very well. And I have never seen an urban cat with a dead bird, mice - yes.

Did Young's have a policy of only letting unpleasant couples be licencees? I remember the couple who ran the Clock House. Their son was an arse, as well. New Year's Day, probably 1998/99. Absolutely freezing. Lovely walk through Peckham Rye Park, fancied a pint. They wouldn't let us sit inside with a two year old. We had to sit out in the sleet. Tiny, cold hands. Massive, hot chips. A fortnight of toddler chilblains. I think the landlord was ex Met, if I recall correctly. -
Hi everyone, My pet cat, Nido, is lost. He’s a British Shorthair, grey / blue and is an indoor cat. We just moved into the area (East Dulwich, Lordship Lane, near local Sainsbury’s) and had some contractors come do some work in the house. They either left the door or window open and our cat managed to escape. He is absolutely precious and is likely to be scared. Please reach out to 07519665507 if you happen to see him. Many thanks, Aqsa -
❤️❤️❤️ They are my favourite birds! I had never seen any round here before, then I suddenly spotted some in a tree across the road when I was walking down East Dulwich Grove. I got talking to a passer by as I was gawking at them, and she said they were often around there. I think she said that a man in a nearby flat fed them, but I may have misremembered that. A cat with a bell comes and sits very still next to my bird feeders. Once he is there, you can't hear the bell. I don't know whether the birds can still sense that he is there, as I chase him away whenever I see him. I get loads of other cats without bells, who also sit very still waiting for birds 😢 I do like cats, but there is definitely an issue with them and birds. But it's nature, I suppose. The only bird I've definitely seen killed in my garden was a starling, carried off howling piteously by a bird of prey. I've never seen a starling in the garden since. I used to get loads, years ago.
