Earlier today a large ginger and white cat was stuck up a tree and then apparently hit by a car in Ondine Road. It was taken to the Neighbourhood Vets on Lordship Lane.

I'm hoping it was chipped and its owner has been alerted already, but I'm posting this just in case.

Sorry but I've no further info – I was asked to post this by a neighbour.

Fingers crossed the cat is OK.

It was my cat, Bertie. He was up a tree on Marsden Road and had to be rescued by the Fire Brigade. Luckily the vet from The Neighbourhood Vets was on hand & took him straight there. He is microchipped and I was contacted. He is now at North Downs Specialist Referrals as he had quite a few complicated injuries. A badly broken back leg is being operated on today and if all goes well he will be home with me at the weekend.


I think he was chasing squirrels.

...& provide back garden access, as opposed to the streets.

 

Unfortunately having back garden access didn’t help Bertie. He & his two comrades have direct access to a 100ft back garden & we have high side gates & I’ve never seen them go out the front. But I can’t control what side access our neighbours have. I think Bertie chased a squirrel through a neighbours garden & out to the street. I think his lack of experience on the road led to him being hit. Just really bad luck.

I hope Bertie didn't catch any birds.

I really hope Bertie is on the mend. I had one horrifying instance when my cat got out the front, ran into the road and was paralysed by fear as a car approached - luckily they stopped. I sometimes chase cats out of the road as cars approach, just in case.

Any update on Bertie?

 

Bertie came home Saturday. The operation on his leg went well & he‘s on cage rest for 6 weeks. We don’t know yet if he will regain any of his sight & he‘s still being tube fed. Licked some Lick-E-Lix this morning so some slow progress.

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
    • We found a recommendation for Geek Electrics on a here after we wanted to have a electrical inspection of a property we are buying. From the very beginning through to the end Bob was responsive, helpful and demonstrated his knowledge. He has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. We will defiantly be using Bob again and would thoroughly recommend him! His details are... www.geekelectrics.co.uk 07453 407 226 [email protected]
    • I want to try that and also the granary loaf. Used to get a good granary loaf from the bakery that was in Herne Hill a long time ago.  Think they are somewhere In the vicinity of Coulsdon now. They used to make the hamburger buns for the Meatwagon/Meatliquor people.
