My fears about foxes attacking my cats were allayed somewhat by an incident a couple of weeks ago. I have 2 cats,one of which is semi feral and likes to be out at night, the other one preferring the comforts of home. One evening ,about 11.30, I returned home after a night out to be greeted by the two said cats who had been happy to be out together as it was a warm night. Forgot to mention that I dont have a cat flap and have to look through my glass front door to see if either cat wants entry!!! Bit tiresome but you soon get used to it!! Anyway back to the story!! I decided that I would leave the 2 cats outside a while longer while I got their late night food ready. Whilst dishing up the Felix I heard 'noises' outside. On looking through the frosted glass door I could see what looked like a coat draped along my doorstep. It then dawned on me that it was a fox!!! I kicked the inside of the door, but nothing happened.So I kicked it again!! Still nothing. So I bit the bullet and opened the front door The fox shot out of the small garden and left the 2 cats sitting outside the door looking somewhat bemused. I can only assume that they had cornered the fox without really meaning to!!! Whatever,I can rest easier now as the fox seemed more scared of the cats than I would have thought. Also I have seen my little home loving cat chasing the foxes away!! May they all live happily together.

      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.
