I would be happy to get involved with this. One thing we learned in our "missing cat" episode is that there are a lot of people who leave food out for neighbourhood cats. This could be part of the reason why so many E.D. cats go missing for long periods of time -- they have no reason to find their way back home to be fed!

Owning 3 cats (including one with 3 legs and poor sense of direction) I always worry when they are out a long time. Count me in on the cat watch (or any other pet watch). We have a cat flap and frequently find 'guest cats' enjoying lunch and even sleeping on our beds.


We are dogless for the time being, the first time in about 10 years (we have had 4 retired greyhounds) and are a little out of touch with dogs and their owners - so loose/stray dogs in the area may not be so easily recognisable to us.


We are the top [art of Barry Road, backing onto Plough Lane and Landells Road.

I quite agree that the current situation is ridiculous. Every time I log-in there is some flighty feline that has done a runner. May I make a suggestion - how about a Cat Bank (along the lines of a Bottle Bank) on the Goose Green roundabout. Let's put a large wire cage there with a simple flap-type one-way door. Anyone who finds a stray cat can pick it up and dump it there for collection in due course by its hapless owner who would obviously make the Cat Bank their first port-of-call in any search. Any cats that are not collected after, say, a week, could be given to a new home or humanely destroyed. Whatdya think?

Domitianus the shame of u! Humanely destroyed after being missing a week?!!

HAve u ever come across a stray cat? And wot do u define as "stray"? Just those u don't like the look of? Or those whom happen to trip u up in the street coz u werent looking where u were going? Oh please! Suggestions like urs arnt particularly constructive!


I'm in for the watch :-)

Dom's post made me laugh.


I do think we have our knickers in a twist about cats a bit. I have one so I am a lover but it is in their nature to go walkabout. I think they should be missing for at least a week before posting on here/trees, etc. One week locked in a shed without food is not going to do them much harm (unless on medication). What might be more useful is to come up with a scheme that alerts owners when their cat has been run over. Are they just picked up by the roadsweeper? Do they have chip scanning facilities? It's always tough when your pet dies but harder when there is no explanation for their disappearance.

You can buy velcro attachable stretchy collars which have little chance of hurting the cat and stay on really well. We use that and chipping as not everyone will bother to take them to a vets to check the chip if found.

Count me in for Henslowe Road.... Archie having gone missing twice, it was good to have forum support. First time he was badly injured in a possible road accident, second time I think he must have been shut in someone's house for five days over a Bank holiday. He's become infamous at the lower end of Henslowe. He and Pearl have hooked up with Pal Joey from a few doors up....

    • Thats the problem, I dont have a solution, but I can see disadvantages of some of the proposed solutions.  Not selling it to a foreign company is my preference but after that I have no idea of the best path / solution with the least impact for all. Whats your view Sue ?
