EDOliver Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 For the attention of any black cat owners Underhill Road/local area. Having just driven down Underhill Road I noticed a dead black cat on the pavement at the top of the hill opposite the cemetery/near the new flats with the see through curtains.Certainly not a nice sight but thought I'd make any cat owners in the area aware.

James Barber Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Ideally you'd contact Southwark Council via 020 7525 2000 and they'll come and remove it.

Monkey Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 No James -better to wait a bit otherwise the council picks up the body and the owners never get to find out what happened to their pet.

pommie Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 all council wardens are supposed to keep a record of any dead pets they pick up so that if the owners ring up, they can let you know if they did indeed find your deceased pet Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20871-dead-black-cat-on-pavement-underhill-rd/#findComment-506429 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarafitness Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 but would they then scan the cat to see if it's microchipped? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20871-dead-black-cat-on-pavement-underhill-rd/#findComment-506701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartk2 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I don't think they scan for microchips and they are not easy to get a hold of to find out if they have found any dead cats matching your pets description. I speak from experience. The street cleaners I talked to said that if they found a dead cat they would just call for another specialised team but they weren't aware of any sort of record being kept of these animals. Its very annoying as I think the least they could do is scan the animal so its owners can be contacted via the microchip information. That is the point of having it afterall!

bonniebird Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Agreed, they should have to scan any dead animals, should be the law, how much would a scanner cost :'( Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20871-dead-black-cat-on-pavement-underhill-rd/#findComment-506888 Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodrot Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 and why not get the council workers to hold a minutes silence or a candelit vigil for the unknown cat ? or maybe a memorial fountain on the Rye ?OP and JB posts aside, please halt this idiotic thread before it becomes a 3 pager.

pommie Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 or maybe someone could collect the cat and take it to a vets to see if it is microchipped. i did that when a cat was run over by a car near my house, they scanned it but unfortunately no chip was found Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20871-dead-black-cat-on-pavement-underhill-rd/#findComment-507000 Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveo Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Where do they put the chips? In the ears? Couldn't they just take the ears?
