We saw a small black, little bit fluffy cat on the corner of Landcroft and Pellatt road shortly after Christmas. It was very friendly and jumped on to my knee when I bent down to pet it.


We've just seen it again now and it's lost a lot of weight and fur. It looks like it's struggling with its back legs as well. We tried knocking on doors nearby but no one was in.


We were very worried about it so have taken it to the vet to scan for microchip. If anyone knows anything about the cat or its owners please let me know.


Thanks - I'll upload a pic later

When we went back we weren't able to find it, so haven't been able to take it to the vet to get it scanned.


It has lost a lot of fur from it's hind quarters and along it's back and is very skinny.


I'll keep checking back to see if I can spot it again.

It's so hard to know if it's well cared for or not. From what I can see it's underweight and the loss of fur on it's back legs and back look like some kind of problem with fleas or mange. But it's almost impossible to guess at its circumstances. Cats get ill/fleas/lose weight in the best of homes.


singalto: does the cat you're talking about have quite a lot of fur loss? I think the one we met must be well known as it's very friendly.

I saw a cat like this on Oglander Road today, stopped for a stroke and I went to get some food but couldn't find it when I got back.


If anyone sees him/ her, please try and get her to the vet.


It may have been a different one, but sounds just alike

    • Using the smart CCTV cameras is your best strategy - particularly if they have adequate infra-red capability. Setting them to be triggered by line crossing or areas of intrusion is worthwhile setting up as is linking them to a PIR sensor. The PIR could also be used to activate a sounder but that might upset your other neighbours. I have a few cameras around our property and I enjoy reviewing the recordings and apart from foxes and birds, I catch the occasional opportunistic thief on camera - like this one last Tuesday. If you need any help, please drop me a PM. S7.mp4
    • Not in Ed, but I was in NE England over the weekend and saw an otter in the wild! Never seen one before, it was quite lovely.
    • Well unless the heron got them later, there were the  two cootlets. I think some others of this year's babies must have escaped the heron. Many years ago (and possibly still, though I never see them any more) there was a whole heron family on the island  - mum, dad and youngster. I don't know how long herons live. Maybe this one is the grown up youngster.
