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 :)

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
