Hi e.d


I just want to ask if anyone is having a problem on Bellenden road with their cats being viciously attacked. my cat has been roaming around the gardens for years and has had the odd scrape, but in the last six months it seems to be getting worse. The last two weeks have seen his face ripped to shreds and I am having to keep him in which is driving Him insane, and v upsetting.


I have seen a large ginger cat attack him and have heard that people on Ivanhoe road are having the same problem. Do you or anyone you know own a large ginger un neutered Tom if so pls get in touch as he is out of control and I'm pretty sure he is the culprit.


This may sound funny to people who are not cat owners but its a real problem, for me and other local feline lovers.


Any help and advice would be really appreciated as I don't know how much longer I can keep my cat in.


Thanks

Hi benners


This sounds awful, I'd be horrified if something like this happened to my cat.


The only advice I can offer is to call all of the rescues, not just Celia Hammond and/or Battersea. You could try Blue Cross, Cats Protection League, RSPCA Southeast,(they post on here so maybe you could PM them or reply to one of their threads). You could try popping into Celia Hammond on a Saturday or something to speak to someone as I know they can't always answer the phone. Maybe one of these charities could offer some advice to help you trap the cat and neuter it for you.


Also, could you try calling the council? They may be able to give some advice.


Good luck, I hope you get somewhere with this.

Poor boy, are those slash marks across his eyes?


Last year, the feral tom my young neutered male used to hero worship turned up with a tooth hanging out of his face which must have been enormously painful. I called Celia Hammonds to see if they could help and they were really good and dropped off a trap Once I'd caught him, they came to pick him up so they could deal with his injury, give him a general health check and get him neutered at the same time. The agreement was he'd be dropped back and released back into my garden. He'd been sort of adopted by a few people in the street so was getting fed but he was too wild to bring indoors had anyone wanted to. They were very helpful. If you think he's a stray/feral, you could perhaps have a word with them to see if they would be prepared to neuter him.

Really feeling for your cat and you, what a stressful time for you both.


I second what The Minkey says. See if Celia Hammond's can do a neuter and return. An neutered male is far less likely to fight and have territory battles. It will also reduce the population of unwanted pregnancies and it happening all over again.


They will talk through the best procedure to capture the cat and offer assistance.


You may want to try Feliway as well to calm your cat. It's not cheap and doesn't work on all cats but have a look into it. I have used it with success but make sure you put it in a room where your cat spends most of its time.


Good luck.

We live near Bellenden Road and we did have a problem with a large un neutered ginger male but I haven't seen him now for several months. He used to force himself on our neighbours female and was aggressive towards our old cat (who has now passed away - unrelated to this) including forcing his way into the catflap and spraying in the house. I don't know if he has stopped coming because the neighbours got their cat spayed and we lost our cat or that he had met a sticky end.

We have adopted another cat now from Celia Hammond. When they came around to do our home visit, they told us if we saw the cat again, they would be very happy to come out, trap it, neuter it and return it. I have the person's name and I will PM you with it.

My cats have bells on their collars so no dead birds or rodents on my doorstep :-)

Nor mine. I quite often though find mouse/parts strewn around the garden but I don't think it has got anything to do my 2 little fluffy muffins :)

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
