A woman left a message yesterday saying a stray had been hanging around for a week but she hadn't fed it. When I phoned her, She said where she lives which is a bit isolated on the seafront a few miles up the road and other than 3 or 4 houses (they are old coastguard cottages) there is just a holiday park. I questioned her feeding the cat and she sheepishly admitted she had. I told her that was a good thing!
- she said that if her cat got lost, she would like to think that someone would give her a bowl of food
- methinks she had been speaking to another un-named organisation who tell people not to feed and they will "go away"
- anyway, the lady had already done all the right things. She took the cat to the vet to be checked for a chip (no luck) and phoned around all local vets and even looked on the National Pet Register - still no luck
- anyway, the lady is going to keep an eye on her and feed her until we have a space
- she said she tried taking the cat in but her own cat was very upset about it. She even said the cat was fine with her 14 month old baby.
