Went round to see if we could help (couldn't) - by dint of a spectacular piece of bravery from Mr.Kitten Owner, going up sixty feet odd on a ladder in the dark by railway tracks, and a fiendish bit of ingenuity on the part of Mrs.Kitten Owner, fashioning a cat carrier/washing pole entrapment device, Boris the kitten was safely recovered. Better than the telly, it was!
I won't pussy foot around this, thank you everybody for avoiding this cat-astrophy by a whisker. I hope Boris is feline better soon. There were some hairy moments, but I'm glad there's a happy end to this tail. I'd like to paws to salute the purr-severance of the rescue team.
Huge thanks to Hugh for posting the message in the first place, genius & huge thanks to Cat & Wes... You guys were beyond amazing & Boris is home & safe after over 2 days. Honestly my faith in humanity was restored tonight as I met some pretty amazing people that took time out to help... Made our weekend. Thank you East Dulwich forum... Boris is still purring but about to collapse from his ordeal. Hope I can pay it forward sometime soon xx
You're v welcome. And I am now a little tipsy ;-). Glad Boris is back in your loving home. Hugha - some terrible puns there, thought I was bad. Thanks to the random builder today who left his massive ladder outside the flat - fate if ever there was some. Best Wez + Cat x
Hi all, Hugh... Some amazing puns there... Finished off the whole story purr-fectly!! Massive thanks to Cat & Wez again. Did call around, RSCPA said to call Firebrigade, Railtrack/Netwotk rail told me to call Fire service as they're the only ones that can call for permission to resume on their property. Fire service said he'd eventually come down when hungry. Thank goodness we rescued him without going onto Network rail property :-)
A wonderful happy ending, and solved a mystery for me. We had a distraught message from the builder to say the ladders he left outside the flat had disappeared. By the time we got home late Saturday evening they were right where he left them. We wondered how he could possibly have missed them! Very glad they were put to such good use.

    • This presumably hasn't been done by vandals. It's hardly a Sycamore Gap situation. So if it's been done by professionals, unless it was a mistake (unlikely) there must have been a good reason, as it would have cost money. It would perhaps have been a good idea to put a notice on the tree explaining why such drastic work was done, but usually (I think) it would be either because of disease (often not noticeable on the surface) or that the roots or branches  were endangering nearby structures. As already said, nobody on here is likely to know. The tree department in Southwark Council are helpful in my (admittedly limited) experience. Please post on here when you have found out, as I agree what's left of the tree looks pretty odd. Depending on why the work was done, possibly they intend to remove the rest as well?
    • I have a very stupid question. I want to get a SIM card to put in an old mobile as a back up,  in case despite my best efforts my mobile gets stolen and I have no way of contacting anybody quickly, eg banks. Can I just buy any old cheap pay as you go  SIM card and put say ten pounds on it and it will then be fine for years (with the phone kept charged!) even if I don't use it, or do I have to use the phone  every so often to keep the SIM card valid?
    • I hate to see trees cut down to such an unfinished state. Unless the tree is home to wildlife, an effort should be made to remove & replace. Otherwise, it's just so useless & unsightly.
    • Given the level of care in Dulwich Park, I would not expect this to be careless or unnecessary. It will grow back.
