Grey cat - Landells Road

[sunshine77]

Our cat is a beautiful grey cat and we live in Landells Road. Someone has been feeding him and has taken it upon themselves to trim his whiskers. If a cat is not yours, do NOT cut their whiskers, feed them or do anything you have not been asked to do. Whoever you are STOP IT

I believe also cats should never have their whiskers trimmed as they use them to keep themselves orientated. I'd recommend looking into it as you may need to keep the poor chap inside for a bit.

Could you attach a note on his collar to this effect?

Absolutely disgraceful that somebody is doing this to someone else's cat.

Unless they believe he is a stray which they have adopted, and don't realise he already has a home?

Poor cat! They need whiskers to judge width so they know whether, if they stick their head in a gap, their body will also fit through.

Could you post a photo of your cat? I tend to agree about the keeping him in for a bit. Maybe break the habit

[singalto]

That?s outrageous. I agree with the others: can you try and keep him in for a while until his whiskers grow back?

[KalamityKel]

Perhaps your feline chum has had an encounter with a curious child?

Ours on occasion has returned home with his ears coloured in and extra stripes - the result of someone playing with a marker pen. Quite annoying and dangerous!

Thank you all. The vet checked him over last night and said he?s clearly traumatised so she?s given him anti-anxiety medication and we?re keeping him in or watching if he goes in the garden. I did used to have a note on his collar saying please don?t feed me which I have to put back on. They know he?s not a stray as he?s too well kept and actually all the kids in the area call for him. Thank you for your support and advice

This is Bob

I know it may not be an option for everyone, however, have you considered attaching a small camera to your cat's collar? If possible, you could moniter where he goes, and who he comes into contact with. You might even catch the culprit.

Cats can wander quite far, so it may not even be local where this happened.

Perhaps put up posters as a warning to stay away from Bob.

I feel for you, and I can imagine your worry.

My neighbour also suggested that and I think it?s the way to go. I?m bowled over by the support on here. Thank you so much
