Black and white male probably only a year or 2 old.

Keeps hanging around and now won?t leave.

Can?t let him in as I have cats of my own and am not able to get him to vets to check for chip.

Been hanging around acre drive for a few weeks.

He seems very stressed and is vocal with really long whiskers.

He seems lost or stray.

Do you know who he belongs to?

It?s very cold out and I?m worried about him.

Unnutered male cats are vocal during mating season, so it could be that he has got lost on the scent of a female (also common for unneutered males to get lost because of this). Give Celia Hammond a call. They may come out and check him for a chip.

Hi yes that?s him. It?s definitely a boy.

He won?t accept any dried food, didn?t turn his nose up at steak the other day.

He hangs around acre drive with my cat that looks very similar to him and a big fluffy tabby.

We don?t see as much of him as we used to and it?s usually early mornings or early evenings.

Haven?t been able to take him for a chip check and I assume he is a stray.

If I do see him when the vets are open I will grab him and take him to the vets.

Very friendly and eager to get indoors until be cones face to face with my female cat as she hates other cats.

Hi

The cat belongs to my neighbour on Crystal Palace Rd and is called Riley. He isn?t well looked after and is often left to his own devices for periods of time, however, he gets fed when he is around. A big ginger tom is challenging him on his territory here, so I?m seeing him less and less.

The problem with this cat (riley) is he doesn?t know how to respond to other cats, his first reaction is to bite the other cats neck, he is gentil and my cat is OK with him, but the ginger cat is not. Seen a huge fight with them recently. The ginger cat doesn?t seem to bother with my cat, so I guess it?s a male dominance thing. My cat has been neutered and is very good with others. If he was neutered. He isn?t even sure how to react to humans he?s very jumpy when stroked but will let you pick him up without a struggle. Could you not speak to owner about neutering him? Is his owner elderly or need support then Celia Hammond should be able to help.

You have had the chance to talk to us in the garden the past few days about Riley. Instead of posting it on the forum, why not simply come and speak to us about Riley. I am extremely upset that you feel the need to talk about this with strangers who have nothing to do with the situation. Riley has had flea treatment put on him 4 days ago so PLEASE DO NOT PUT ANYMORE ON HIM!!!!! We have had him for 6 years and chosen not to get him neutered as he is not an aggressive cat, he simply comes and goes as he pleases, i do not wish to lock him in at night and cause him stress, and HE IS WELL FED.

No offence was intended by what I posted. I was responding to other people?s concerns on here and trying to reassure them that he is not a stray and that he has an owner. I have spoken to you a couple of times about him in the past. Happy to discuss this elsewhere.


The reason I came on here in the first place is because of my concerns over the ginger cat who has injured our cat and another resident?s cat recently. It seems other people have been having issues too, and I?m not sure what ? if anything ? to do.

Wow.... your cat is not neutered - no wonder you don't keep him in at night.......he would spray all over your house. Be a responsible cat owner and get your cat neutered.


Here's some other reasons why he should be neutered: -


Reduced fighting and associated injuries


Reduction of ?Tom cat odour?


Decreased spraying


Prevents roaming, as they will generally not sense female pheromones


Prevents unwanted litters


Not to mention the spread of FIV and also the CAT KILLER is out there!!!

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
