Unfortunately, the fox I have been feeding has developed a limp. Does anyone know the name of thing people use to catch animals? that pole with loop at the top. I might try catch it and call a rescue centre

probably worth talking to rescue place first - they will probably be able to lend you something

and probably better to have them lined up rather than catch fox and then have to keep them for a few days...

I've emailed them. But dont think they cover this part of London. I am sure I called them last year about a fox. Cannot remember if it was them or not. ended up calling the RSPCA who put the fox down. RSPCA is the last resort. Though I wonder if the local vet would help if I caught it

You know that bit where a cat purposely leads you to where they want you to go.
Bloom comes in this morning and waits at the foot of the stairs for Mrs P to come down.
He then shows the way to where the breakfast goodies are.

One of the cats in our area (Merlin) knows how to break in and steal cat food packets if we leave the backdoor open.



Cheeky sod. He isn't even a stray.

 

[Throbbing Angel]

Sushi started having seizures last night which lasted in the region of 30 minutes. These have continued into today and he has been put down at the vet.

Bye Bye Sushi

 

[Epona]

I am so sorry for your loss Throbbing Angel - exactly how my poor darling Radar went (his was almost certainly a brain tumour) so I understand how traumatic it is to see it happen like that to a beloved companion, you have my absolute sympathy, much love to you and your loved ones.

Sushi was very beautiful, what a lovely photo.

 

[Numbers]

RIP Sushi.

Sorry to read that mate.

 

[Numbers]

Cats eh. Mr Best the stray now sleeps in our bed and Ti the house cat of 12 years stays in Mr Bests hut in the garden, he Loves it.

 

[May Kasahara]

What a beauty Throbbing Angel, I am so sorry you've lost your furry pal and under such horrid circumstances too.

Our one sometimes pretends she wants to be let out the front door (which I will get up off the sofa to do) and then diverts to the food bowl (which I wouldn’t have got up off the sofa to do).

got a reply from fox project. I've ordered the injury pills (didn't even know they existed)

Hi Donkeyboy

Limps are very common in foxes as they receive many a knock or sprain during their daily wanderings, which often recover within a few weeks. When a leg is held high this shows good muscle tone being used to protect an injury. Please see the following treatment plan:

To assist rapid healing feed infection mix pills, or injury pills (if no swelling) in honey or jam sandwiches for a few weeks, these pills are available from Pet Perfection - 01689 856361 www.petperfection.net.

The remedy will not harm any other animal that ingests it.

Short-term feeding patterns set up in order to treat injuries do not do any harm and will not encourage the foxes to visit long-term, as soon as they are well the feeding can cease and therefore you may see them less regularly.

I'm very sorry to read that, Throbbing Angel. Sushi was a handsome cat indeed.
