Not neutering her may have made me irresponsible and I wish I had done the right thing while she was alive. However, that doesn?t mean I didn?t love her deeply. I?m always going to love that cat.


Not like I need to justify myself but I?m hoping to put an end to this. Me and my mum knew that Fudge had been missing for at least a few days. We had (including) Fudge seven cats in total, all outdoors that came and went as they pleased. We would keep a tab on them, but it wasn?t unlike them to go missing for days at a time. One of ours is still a regular to the cemetery ? he goes there for up to a week at a time and then strolls back happy and ready for cuddles. This was not unlike our cats. (But no more, we have both vowed never to let the cats outdoors again after what has happened.)


Now I must admit Fudge was gone for longer than I realised. The night before we found out she was ?missing? me and my mum commented on how neither of us had seen her for a few days. I decided to have a look on the forum to see if anyone had seen her and ultimately case across the devestating post...


Yes I wish I had realised sooner. Yes I have been irresponsible by not getting her chipped and neutered (we were planning on getting her done really soon, the last of our cats to not be chipped etc.) But this by no means meant she had a horrible owner. I love Fudge and she loved me, a lot. Throughout her short six years here she had a life where she was loved and spoilt and unfortunately got taken away from us too soon. Like I said earlier, our cats have been outdoor cats my whole life - chipped or not, she would?ve been hit by that car either way. NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE THAT. Not your words of judgement or ill-wishing. I feel guilty as it is. I don?t need a bunch of strangers telling me what I already know.


There is a time and place for things like this and this is neither the time nor place. I beg you find some compassion, because however much y?all want to preach that your words aren?t nasty and hurtful - they are.


I love you Fudge. Always have and always will. Some spirits aren?t meant to be on this Earth for too long.


And with that ? this is the end of the thread. I?d like an admin to close or delete it now as I?m done with the vileness of some particular users on here. Thanks for anyone who has given me support, it has helped a lot. For now I?m going to continue to grieve without the added stress and upset of unkind strangers.

    • A Google search brought up eleven Chango  branches, although they don't all seem to be listed on their website. In the order they came up: East Dulwich, Clapham Common, Mayfair, Wandsworth, City of London, Wimbledon,  Parsons Green, Kensington, Highgate, Richmond, Hampstead. I think it is the positioning of this new branch that has mostly got to me. I accept that they would have to go for where a space became vacant, but Lordship Lane is pretty long, even just the part with shops in,  and choosing to  open a stone's throw away from Chacarero seems mean, to say the least. I wonder if they have made contact with Chacarero. It would be nice to think they had (in a friendly way, obviously!) As regards the apparent  marketing spiel, at least one of the online reviewers also refers to a Chango branch (the Parsons Green one in this case) as a "gem". Probably just coincidence and a word in common use to describe such places. I wouldn't know. I'm ancient 🤣
    • I like empanadas. I don't think Chango is a massive chain - it's got a few stores all in London I believe (stand to be corrected if I've got that wrong). I don't see a problem with them opening on the Lane personally. I really like Chacarero, but that doesn't mean that they should be immune from competition - if they're successful and open a couple more stores, are we then meant to stop supporting them for being a 'chain'?  That opening post does sound a lot like marketing spiel though. Is the OP perhaps connected to the new business I wonder?
    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has.
