Hi there


Our little cat seems to be missing. He is 10 months old (so almost a grown up cat) but relatively small and looks young. He is all black and a cheeky little thing but likely to be scared out on his own for so long. He doesnt have a collar but has been tagged.


He's only been missing 24 hours but thats a long time without food - so please keep your eyes open and give me a call on 07775 552043 if you think you have seen him.


thanks!

What's his name? Just in case someone spots him... it's often easier to be able to call out their name see if they respond.


Hope he turns up soon - I'm sure he'll just be off on a big adventure and will arrive home completely unaware of the fuss he's caused!


Good luck.

Sorry to hear your cat is missing. Ours went missing a few weeks ago and has now come back. He must have been stuck in a garden shed. We actually hand wrote notes (our printer was not working) and posted them through our neighbours' letter boxes quite late in the evening. Corfu was freed at 3.30am in the morning so the personal touch must have helped. I am not saying you should hand write your notes but you could print as many times as you can and post them through people's letter boxes. Also put posters up in hot spots if you have not done this already (bus stops, train station, supermarket...)


Good luck and keep us posted.

If you do put notes through people's doors why not put the forum address on it too?

That way people can log on for an update and find out if they should keep looking or hopefully so they can share in the good news when he's found!


Helps drive traffic to the site too, so there'll be more people online if anyone else needs help in the future for this kind of thing.


I will look out for your pet and cross my fingers he comes home soon

Good idea Snoopy - I did this on three roads last night and am going to do more tonight - we've also been putting up some signs but on the way home from work last night noticed that a few had been taken down - which isnt very nice. Anyway - we wont give up!


Aimee

Thanks Alan - i didnt realise they had a forum too. Yes we kind of live at the junction of three postcodes - at hte bottom of our Road is ED and one road to the right is Peckham Rye. I've been posting notes through doors like crazy - so hopefully something will come of that!


thanks, Aimee

We have a call from someone who spotted Oscar on Derwent Grove (near Melbourne Grove) on Sunday!! Can everyone who lives in that area keep a careful lookout please! He probably crossed the main road when it was quiet and is now too frightened or too lost to come back!


If you do see him and dont mind cats, perhaps you could try and lure him in to your house so that we can come and pick him up?


Thanks for your help!

Hi - don't want to put a dampner on the sighting but I have two black cats that are often in and around Melbourne Grove. There is also a young female black cat on Blackwater street so it could have been one of these three that has been spotted. My two don't have collars on currently as they have lost them so they could look like they don't belong!

Yep - please don't lure the wrong cat in!


To be a bit more accurate on Oscar, he's quite small, all black EXCEPT for a few wisps of white on his chest - literally 10 or so hairs. So if you do see him, please check he's the little rascal we're after before catching him!


By the way, the sighting on Derwent Grove matched the wispy hairs bit perfectly so seems likely to be him!


Mike

Don't give up hope guys, I'm sure Oscar will turn up safely any day now just as Mika did last night. Even if he's locked in somewhere he'll still be fine - the cold weather works in their favour as it means they don't need as much water etc.


I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you, as know how stressful it is!

    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps

    • Ahh shame about the cost of replacing the battery - especially (and I am assuming here) as the car probably isn't worth that much.  I do, however, think your decision is better than scrapping the car.  I will still update the results of our "experiment" in case this is of interest to others.  I absolutely refuse to scrap an otherwise perfectly good vehicle (especially as ours is ULEZ compliant - despite its age).  Nor am I enamoured with the idea of driving more just to keep the battery going.  If this little £35 gadget does the business then I shall be very happy.  We shall see......... Enjoy all those extra journeys, though if our gadget works then you might benefit from purchasing one and trickle-charging from time to time to save you having to make them.
