Cat Manifesto: The key points


- Compulsory microchipping of owned cats


- A national database of cats entering the UK legally so those entering illegally without a rabies vaccination can be identified without delay


- Updating the DangerousDogs Act to allow prosecution of owners whose dogs attack cats


- Inclusion of animal welfare in the National Curriculum


- Clear labelling of flowers, plants and household products that are toxic to cats


- Outright ban on snares


- Stricter regulation on the ownership of air guns and crossbows

srlsy, I would like this to be a discussio


the CPL are off their faces, but some interesting points raised re animal welfare at skools at stuff - sadly I dont think cat owners really give a toss about conservation / welfare as the bigger picture( otherwise they would not own cats)


its coming across as a narrow self interest group trying to marshall support by hoying in a few triggers to garner non cat owning support. It is all so utterly transparent


discuss

There are animal lovers and there are cat lovers.


I'm an animal lover. Although I would never hurt a cat, I would never keep one and let it ouside. They kill too many things just for the fun of it than to satisfy their hunger.


I think big cats are beautiful but find it very hard to watch nature programmes where you see them killing their prey. But at least they are only doing it to survive.

That would be idiotic, they just need to be taught to listen properly when the labels are read out.

    • Good idea - Sue are you happy to speak to the owner of Health Matters? Thanks
    • The Stray Cat Club is in urgent need of local volunteers & foster homes across East Dulwich & surrounding areas. With rescue pleas coming in daily, the demand is rising - especially for vulnerable kittens, abandoned pets & overlooked strays in need of safety, warmth & care.   Whether you can offer: - A safe, temporary home (even short-term or kitten-specific) - Transport help (vet runs, collections, drop-offs) - Admin support, fundraising or social media help - Raising Awareness through educating the general public. ... you can make a real difference. Fostering is fully supported - all food, litter & veterinary care is provided. You don't need a garden, just a quiet space, a kind heart & commitment. Every safe space created means another cat pulled from danger. If you've been waiting for a sign - this is it! Please reach out via The Stray Cat Club official website https://straycatclub.org.uk/ & follow on Instagram @thestraycatclub (https://www.instagram.com/thestraycatclub/) & Please, please continue to spread the importance of spaying, neutering & microchipping your cats. Thank you.
    • Absolutely agree , the pool is in a disgusting state at the moment. I’ve also noticed how dirty it’s been lately, especially around the edges and in the changing rooms. It’s honestly at the point where it feels unhygienic, and I wouldn’t be surprised if people got sick from swimming in it. You’ve done the right thing by reporting it  hopefully if more of us raise concerns , they’ll take it seriously. Happy to add my voice to any formal complaint or petition if that helps. Thanks for speaking up — you’re definitely not alone!  
    • Let's see if we can get a key so the notice board can actually be updated by someone who cares and has time (thank you Jellybeanz, if you want to do that, and if Sue can get a key), or we can have a group of key holders and content managers. It's not hard is it. There's not really any point having one if it doesn't have information
