Just experienced the same outside of The Montpelier, they set off about 5 and cycled/ran off pretty quickly.

Dodged about 5 piles of dog dirt today whilst on a walk in ED! It's really foul, please clean up after your pets!!

Thanks all for you input, it?s given us a lot of food for thought. KalamityKel - do you have any vet recommendations? We?re regisetered to one in Peckham, and although they?re kind and very familiar with the cat the advice offered has been vague and I don?t know if they would add any info to the chip. Over the last 4 years we?ve been to 3/4 different practices - mostly emergency and it?s never felt like the right time to mention changing the chips details, although we have always explained he is a stray. Singalto - This cat was initially very pushy, we would arrive home from work and he would be sat waiting for us and when we refused him access he would wait for hours on our balcony - we felt horrible guilt.

Hi bcam, like I said previously we took the cat to the vets after an injury, what I didn?t mention was the owners lack of interest to provide care during or after this. I appreciate the sentiment and we would hate to have an animal taken from us. However the the first few weeks we would not let the cat inside or feed him; we were aware he was not our pet. Several neighbours reported to the owners what had been happening, one neighbour volunteered to take the cat to them but to no avail. We did not have direct contact with the owners, the cat was spending time at 2-3 others flats in the vincinty and were already reporting it?s whereabouts to the owners.

We took in a cat that we assumed was stray approx. 4 years ago. The cats owners liaised with our neighbour, and the cat was taken home a few times - each time however he returned to our flat. We were not ready for a pet, but the cat was pushy and desperate - we only started feeding him when we noticed the amount of time he would spend trying to come in. It was not long after contact with the owners had vanished did the cat have an accident which required veterinary attention; it was fairly affordable, but our neighbour gave some money toward the bill. 4 years on and the cat is living with us very comfortably. Our vet suggested we get the name changed in the chip to our family name/address - however we don't know how to go about it, and we're wondering if anyone can offer any advice? Thanks, Reg

Or even advice on Jam and cordial making!

Does anybody have any recipes for sweet things; cakes, pastries, biscuit or patisserie etc? We have lots of books regarding dessert baking, just wondering if anyone has any recipes to add or even any book recommendations. Add your own, thanks!
