Did the cat definitely have a collar? I have a ginger cat in this area, he's chipped but no collar.

[halicon]

Sorry I couldn't tell. I hope its not yours but I don't think anyone would have moved it if it wasnt their cat.

Council probably have removed him/her, they have to do this unfortunately. If someone was worried it was their cat you can normally call the council office and check, my brother had to do this when his cat went missing and they confirmed they had collected a dead cat from the road near his the day before. Its unfortunate but I guess they have to do it to stop foxes etc from eating it. Very sad as I'm a bit cat fan!

[Keef]

Hope it's not yours PGC!

[KidKruger]

Bit harsh to take food away from the foxes, at least it would stop them tipping our bins over.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Thanks Keef. Unfortunately it is his wont to stay away for days at a time, so I really can't tell at the moment. We did go up and down the road and peered in the bins last night but couldn't find anything.

Thanks for the tip Nutty, I will do that.

I've called the Council and they've been as helpful as possible, but apparently when a cat is picked up it is bagged and then becomes hazardous waste. It's put in the freezer until incineration day. They are not allowed to reopen the bag so I can't go in and identify it and they don't have the facility to read chips.

They are trying to get more information from the street operative concerned, and will ring me back.

I do hope it wasn't yours PGC! :-(

Poor PGC, fingers crossed it wasn't your cat, and hopefully he or she will come strolling in looking for a nice bit of scran before you know it.

[falcao]

That would be the purrfect ending to this horrible sad story.

[Peckham native]

I understand the family that live in the house right at the end of Ondine Road (front door in Ondine but windows in Adys) helped dispose of the cat. So PGC you might want to give them a knock if your cat hasn't turned up yet.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Thank you PN - I will ask them today.

Thanks to all for your kind messages.

[jim_the_chin]

[Brendan]

My condolences PGC.

[Cassius]

Sorry to hear that PGC

[Peckham native]

So sorry to hear that PGC.

[lozzyloz]

That's really awful. I hope the good memories will make it a bit easier PGC.

[TillieTrotter]

Poor you PGC:(

[Moos]

Really sorry, PGC. Poor you, and poor cat.

By the way, the house that Peckham native is talking about is 3 flats, so you might have to ask around a little bit.

[Mscrawthew]

Sorry to hear your bad news PGC, never easy when you loose something you care about :'(
