Found: Friendly black and white cat hanging out on Lordship Lane

[genwilliams]

He/she followed me and my friends quite a long way along the road so we worried they might be out of their catchment area. Quite dusty paws which also made me think perhaps they’d been roaming away from home for a few days.

Took photos in case anyone is missing them! Very pretty, friendly long-haired black and white cat, leopard print collar, pink paw-print metal tag. They eventually stopped following us across the road from Mrs Robinson.

It very well may be the cat that lives at Neighbourhood vet?

Yes, it is Raymond from the vets.   I have just checked and he is safe and well.

I saw him on Monday outside Screwfix completely unfazed by the people and noise.  It did worry me though that he was out so close to busy traffic and am glad to learn he is safe and well.

Ah, grand! Yeah he was lurking near the vet when he first decided to promenade along Lordship Lane with us.  A friendly chap though he took gentle umbrage at me removing some of the leaves from his fur.

Raymond!! What a treasure. Long may he maraud.

Did he shoplift snack food like seagulls sometimes do, or did he queue up and pay like a responsible southeast London citizen?

Nope I think he just used to browse through the CAT-alogues

Fur play to the lad.

🤣 at the puns.

Seriously though, thank you for not assuming he must be lost just because he followed you a long way.

Thank you for posting on here rather than  taking him back to your house!

He seems purr-fectly happy pussyfooting around Lodship lane.

Of course! Not least because I live in Sydenham, so that would be a long way to take him out of his manor, he'd have been very confused. He looked pretty happy, I just thought it made sense to check.

I got a bit nervous when he decided to cross the road, but he must have thought it was a whisk(er) worth taking.

But it's not for me to paw-lice his movements.

Have we reached the tail end of the puns?

No, it's just a brief paws. I'm feline pretty confident we can sustain the puns fur-ever.

That wouldn't be catastrophic
