Our neighbours are moving out soon, they feed a stray cat (the one who stole the steak etc), they're a bit worried about what will become of him (he is a bit of a wild bruiser and doesn't like humans or other cats much, I like him tho). Not sure what to do, he can't come in ours as he doesn't get on with our cat and can't really leave him food outside as there are foxes

You lost your little cat to a fox iirc? so I understand you not wanting to attract them into your garden by putting food down for the local feral cat.
Is there anywhere else you could put food out for him? So not in your garden, but somewhere near to where he is currently being fed?
I know I keep banging on about it, but if you do decide to feed him, be aware of the incoming microchipping law, there could be fines for someone who is deemed to "own" an unchipped cat. The whole thing is a load of bullshit IMO (and has absolutely fuck all to do with reuniting lost pets with their families or deterring theft) but I bet they will try to use feeding a feral as a means to fine someone as the "owner".

an ting!
That's him alright. Absolute beauty of a cat <<< all cats are beautiful obvs but he really is something else in terms of skill, attitude, mannerism etc. The other 3 are all weird as fuck in their own way but Dennis Brown is like Mary Poppins.Ah is that the lovely Dennis Brown? Absolutely adorable as always

I guess as he is feral he is fairly good at getting food anyway... will probably just keep an eye and see if he seems hungry or ill. I doubt whether anyone will move in soon, so could put food in their garden... but we're probably moving out in not too long anyway so even if we could feed him regularly it would only be temporary
I will also try get a picture of him, he is one tough cat. He used to bully the staff who lived upstairs.
Edit: by staff I mean the dog breed, not our butler and maid.

Walking into town I turned down an alleyway I've been down probably thousands of times. As I turned I heard some scrabbling, and looked up just in time to see a furry rear end disappearing over the adjoining fence. No amount of teeth-kissing could tempt him/her to reappear.

My friend in Oxford works at University College, and like Downing Street Larry it has it’s college cat called Lyra.
Like Larry, and Sadie of Lee, Lyra is one of those ‘visible’ cats everybody knows, likes, and wants to make a fuss of.
Can you see Lyra in the first picture?
Incidentally my friend is Chinese, and her lovely cat is called Wendy rather incongruously.
That is because her Chinese name is ‘wenjing’ meaning Gentle and Quiet, which sounds like Wendy.

Super Refuser!
Just had ours at the vet for a bite. £99.98.
He was examined and prescribed meloxicam, and given a long acting antibiotic.
It is time that veterinary fees were regulated.

I'd love it if we had an NHS or equivalent for pets. I'd be happy to pay taxes on that. Hope your furry lad heals fast.

i know the smudge is true
Yes basically haha. There is an understanding in our house that if you have a cat on you, it's the other person's turn to make tea!

In FiFi news - her weight is now down from 4.85kg to 4.6kg, which isn't good
She's had 5 days of the anti-nausea cream, which is rubbed into her ears, and she's having that with minimal fuss
She will drink cat milk, "some" Dreamies, I tried her on a tea-spoon of sensitive cat food which I'd mushed down into a paste and thinned out with warm water, she had a couple of goes at that, but barely ate a teaspoon full
Back to the vet this afternoon for an appetite boosting injection and then, I'm afraid, fingers crossed, cause I don't think that there's a Plan D

Mrs Voltz has just done a pre-Vet weigh in of FiFi and despite my post (above) she's actually now UP TO 4.7kg - probably still needs a good turn out 'n' that, but she is a LayDee after all

Just returned from the V. E. T. and on the vets scale her weight is actually 4.75kg - barely 100g down from last visit . . . so this is good
The vet has a good squeeze around to check for, yunno, "lumpy things in her stomach" and apart from "she appears to need a poo" all was fine
My fault, the cream that's being rubbed into her ears is an appetite booster, which means she's had an anti-nausea injection today to see if that helps
Doesn't fully kick in for a couple of hours, but she's just had some biscuits, which is good
She's not out of the woods yet, but I do feel a bit more positive with the vets weight readings
Onwards and upwards, I 'spose
