Does anyone know whether the mutilated cats were out in street when they were attacked or whether the attacker got access to the properties where they lived? I realise that it might be difficult to say one way or the other.


In any case we have started to keep our cats in at night.

They are not being taken from inside the properties as far as I am aware but they are often being dropped back so the owners find them. What the police fail to realise is that this is often how psychopathic murderers begin - with small animals. As horrific as it is already for the cats and their owners, we could be looking at something far more sinister so it really needs to be taken very seriously. The latest news a few weeks ago was he/she had moved onto dogs and even a fox.

"What the police fail to realise is that this is often how psychopathic murderers begin"


You honestly think the police don't know this? Even Martin Clunes knows this:


"Research in psychology and criminology shows that people who commit acts of cruelty to animals don't stop there - many of them move on to their fellow humans. That is a scary thought indeed," Clunes added.


Hope they catch this person soon.

Its so scary that someone so deranged has been walking around the area. I live very close to the streets in question and while I'm afraid for my cats, I'm also afraid for myself. This person is potentially going to escalate to human beings at some point so I hope the police are throwing a lot of resources at tracking him or her down.
On my way to work on Friday morning I saw a cat in my neighbour's front garden in Silvester Road. It looked like the poor thing was bearing the same injuries as you described singalto. I reported it to the RSCPA and an officer was sent over within a couple of hours. What a horrible thing for the owner to wake up to. I really hope they catch this person soon - absolutely horrific!

Very concerning as a cat owner in the exact area we're talking about. Without wishing to scaremonger, it does feel though that all cat owners in the area need to be made aware so they can keep their cats in. I'd also like some more information about how this is happening (e.g. just at night? only on the street, or is this person getting into back gardens? etc) and what the current police response is.


I have absolutely no idea how to do all this, but I'd be very happy to help if someone else has. Is this one for Safer Neighbourhoods? Leafleting? A public meeting? The council?

    • Off topic (ish) but does anyone else remember when Blue Mountain opened? They had chocolate coated coffee beans and a range of coffee beans sold loose, and I can't remember whether it was freshly baked  bread or rolls or croissants or  something else, but my then partner used to go and buy it/them in the morning. And behind the part with the counter, it was divided into several little rooms, all different colours and styles. There was another room upstairs, though I can't remember if that was open from the beginning  It was great. It went through many incarnations after that, before eventually sadly closing, but I liked the first one best. Also off topic (ish) there was a Greek? Turkish? deli opposite. My then partner bought some yoghurt there once, and when he got it home he found it was months (I think) past its sell by date. He took it back. The guy in the shop opened it up, looked at it, sniffed it and said "There's nothing wrong with that." 😂
    • However, some would particularly like to avoid reviews of the 'there are far too many mice'; 'the cakes are deteriorating badly' nature. If you consider that a 'Negative Nelly' response. My experience was that the hot drinks and the varieties of e.g. teas on offer, were generally a positive element. As were the staff serving. 
    • The hare krishna restaurant is called Govindas and still going strong in Soho Street, a different establishment to the one that used to be (still is?) in Hanway Street. I must go back to Govindas some time
    • Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ?
