Hello there, I am not sure if I am posting this in the right place or not but my husband says it will get moved if its in the wrong bit, so here goes. I work off Peckham High Street on Bournemouth Road, and since February there has been two stray cats that live together under some arches. They are in beautiful condition and are friendly but cautious. Locals feed them and I think Celia Hammond have also helped out. When I spoke with the lovely old lady who looks after them today she said that Celia Hammond had neutered the cats but had no plans to rehome them. The old lady also told me that she is being rehoused soon and is worried about who will feed them when she has gone.

With it coming up to winter soon, I am getting very concerned about them both. I would have them in a heartbeat, but I think my two feline friends would not be happy about this!


Any ideas? I have been in touch with Celia Hammond in the past and the lady who called me asked if I knew anyone who would fancy taking them on, so I am sure they would help with the rehoming of the cats.


Does anyone want to rehome them? One of them is fluffy and pure black - stunning. And the other one is white with patches of grey tabby. The lady who feeds them told me that they were really very timid at first, but they are clearly not anymore and with alot of work they could be lovely pets.


I had to post about them as they really are on my mind and I was hoping there might be someone out there who could help? With winter coming up I think it would be rotten for the poor cats to be literally on the streets.


Any help or advice much appreciated!

Charlotte

Hi Charlotte.


Rest assured that they're stalking a prospective target/owner under a meticulous surveillance operation as we speak. Cats are born survivors. They'll most probably find an elderly or unmarried woman who'll look after and pamper them until her death. The cats will then eat her corpse.

That is hilarious and probably true.

Lee Rocker ? Honaloochie,what happened to Setzer and the rest. I saw them around 87-89 then again about 10 years ago, Setzer looked like he'd hit the JD a bit to hard. Great band live though.

    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.  
    • Nothing to do with the topic of this thread, but I have to say, I think it is quite untrue that people don't make human contact in cities. Just locally, there are street parties, road WhatsApp groups, one street I know near here hires a coach and everyone in the street goes to the seaside every year! There are lots of neighbourhood groups on Facebook, where people look out for each other and help each other. In my experience people chat to strangers on public transport, in shops, waiting in queues etc. To the best of my knowledge the forum does not need donations to keep it going. It contains paid ads, which hopefully helps Joe,  the very excellent admin,  to keep it up and running. And as for a house being broken into, that could happen anywhere. I knew a village in Devon where a whole row of houses was burgled one night in the eighties. Sorry to continue the off topic conversation when the poor OP was just trying to find out who was open for lunch on Christmas Day!
