Hi all,


Roughly 8wks ago (as I work a late shift) my husband met me at the bus stop on Lordship Lane to escort me home and walking up North Cross Rd and cutting through Ulverscroft Road (around midnight) I noticed 3 kittens (1 black and 2 white/mixed) outside and immediately thought they are too young to be left unattended. One house had it's lights on, music playing and ground floor front window open, so I knocked the front door to ask "are these your kittens" and without hesitation the man said "yes, they are mine" and let me place them back into his house and closed the door.


Now 2wks ago coming home late again, I saw a kitten and recognised it as the black one from the original trio. I've been concerned since as to it's well being as there were many foxes around.


Yesterday, I had a day off from my working late shifts and thought I'd knock at to ask if the kittens are well, as I saw one out again 2wks prior... the guy (with his wife silently hovering in the background) now claims that they never had kittens and they have alot of strays in the back garden???


I wish originally he said he didn't want them and I would have took them off his hands 8wks ago.

I suggest you report your concerns to the RSPCA or Celia Hammond. RSPCA can do a welfare check and get any unwanted kittens signed over for rehoming.

 

Many thanks for the advice. I've spoken to neighbouring residents and have been informed that the black kitten has now been received by Celia Hammond.

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
