This is getting f@cking stupid now.

Seriously out of hand.


Just seen that there was an article in the Sun and on the BBC news website today. It needs more mainstream national exposure like this.

At the bottom of the BBC article are related news links. There was one from October 2014. It's been going on for at least two years..!


How is it still happening?

How has fate/karma not caught up with the evil perpetrator?

From the SNARL page:

Further Bracknell update:


Sly, the cat whose body Tony has just collected was last seen at 7am this morning and his body found a couple of hours after this.


Therefore this was an attack during the daytime.


We reiterate our advice to please keep your cats indoors unless you are physically with them. We would also ask that you share our pinned post everywhere you can so that people know what to do.


We would ask that the community please give us and the police space and time to investigate this and the press give the families time to come to terms with the loss of their beloved cat and the shock of seeing his body.


Our thoughts are with Sly's family at this hideous time.

This issue has been in the news for over a year-:there has been at least one feature about it on the TV and countless newspaper articles. As a result we and numerous other cat owners have been keeping our pets in at night ever since. Is it really being suggested that this is an urban myth and that we are all deluded?

No it wouldn't be.


The serial cat killer needs to be found and fast. How, Otta, are you measuring the distress to owners over this? I would prefer someone broke into my home to take my mobile, took drugs, shoplifted (all crimes I have witnessed or in the first case experienced directly) etc etc WAY more than they killed my cat. The cat, probably, would think itself the target of natural predation and give a resigned shrug. It is my feelings that count (and my taxes).

Your taxes?


I very much doubt they'd pay for one police officer unless you're very well off.


I am not belittling the crime, it is nasty and sick, and I hope the person is found and punished. But just because you and a few (or even a lot) other cat owners think it should be top priority, doesn't mean that it should be, or that other people with other concerns would think that it should be.


The only way that level of resources could be justified is if they were convinced the perpetrator was getting ready to move on to human targets. And even then I doubt they'd have 16 officers investigating it.

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
