Was anyone else awoken by a fox fighting with what looked like a cat on Heber road Friday night? It was late, probably about 3am. I looked out the window and it was horrific, and it seemed (though it was dark) as though the cat came off quite badly. I won't go into details here. My partner got up and went outside and walked up and down the road but he couldn't see the cat anywhere - the fox we had seen run off in the meantime. I am a cat lover, and I have had nightmares since about the owners possibly finding their cat in a very bad state. The cat might not be a Heber road resident at all, as cats do tend to ramble around, I hope he made it home ok

My late cat was chased by a fox who was thwarted by the narrow window opening. He stayed on the window ledge for quite a while. I think it is quite unusual - foxes and cats usually are amicable. Have to agree with ???? on this one, Tally Ho.

I would love to start a fox hunt in East Dulwich. I can just see us galloping down from Ladlands me on the back of an enormous black hunter, in my perfect gleaming black leather boots and riding pink (sigh), Michael Proctologist on a small grey donkey..


I worry so about Chav's chickens.


What say you ????? Do you have a steed or should I ask the strange lady who runs the riding stables at Dulwich Park if she could see her way to lending you the pair of cart horses that she uses to pull the hearse to Norwood Cemetry?


I think it would be a wonderful way to spend a winter morning...

My brother used to fox hunt in East Dulwich on the way home from the CPT. He once 'penned' a fox in the front garden of 128 Barry Road (I'll apologise to our former neighbours on his behalf). The fox, being cleverer than him jumped over the gate and legged it towards the rye.


...those were the days...


up in Hackney/Dalston, though, we've been having the same problem. Every night the local cats and foxes go mental. Either fighting with eachother or performing insane mating rituals. It must be Spring.

Surely an urban fox hunt would have to be carried out by men in hoodies on those buzz-bike, Japanese style mopeds preceded by a pack of staffeis with spiked collars. Instead of a horn it would be heralded by some hippiddy hop blasted from a mobile phone and as the hunt comes by girls in track suits would walk around offering trays of turkey twizzlers to the riders.

      Vet recommendation

      By NewWave · Posted

      I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.

      Be careful in local shops

      In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.

      There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
