Oops when my daughter was 5 she had a 50cc Italjet, mind you she was always taken onto a country park or when we went to the Isle of Man she used to ride on the beach in the evenings which you could do at TT time.

I have absolutely NO problem with kids having stuff like that. What I do object to is two lads of around 15 tramming up the pavement right next to our house and then zooming down the middle of the road. Not only is it noisy, it's also bloomin' dangerous! And to add insult to injury, they live two streets away and come onto our street especially to use the bike!

They're what we consider to be "problem" kids. One of my friends gave them verbal both barrels once(not how I'd have dealt with them, but he was being antagonised)and their mother came out and told him off for "shouting at her kids!" Their parents basically let them run riot and if anyone tries to do anything, shout at whoever is attempting to discipline their children.

In fact, what happened to this poor cat...well, let's just say I wouldn't put it past them. And I do feel that it would be the parents fault on this particular case, having seen how much structure they get from them.

Yes the little one seems to be coming along very nicely thank you. Wonderful what 24 hours on a drip will do. All bloods were fine and also FeLV & FELV test clear.

Excellent news.

No need for food, shelter and TLC to be perscribed, that comes automatically, with us anyway.

I'd want to try and compensate her for the treatment she has endured, somehow.

I know exactly what you mean, and my feelings too,

Leaving aside my thoughts about the children (with difficulty) does that mean that the little cat has been given the provisional all-clear by the vet and has been prescribed food, shelter and TLC?

Brilliant news about the potential home, Ela. This is the sort of cat I'd want to adopt myself - I'd want to try and compensate her for the treatment she has endured, somehow.

I think the Police have the powers nowadays to confiscate the bikes if ridden on the streets and rightly so in my opinion. I know some Police forces have been doing this for a time now.

Yeayyyy. A new home being offered that quickly. Wonderful.

Little sods. It makes me really annoyed, I grew up in a fairly rough area and would never have dreamed of treating an animal that way, and still wouldn't obviously!

I'm currently sat having to endure listening to a mini motorbike due to two young lads driving it up and down the street repeatedly....aggghhh!

Ela · « **Reply #18 on:** March 24, 2007, 12:17:14 PM »

Just found out this morning the little bu

ers were swinging the poor little soul round by its neck. Anyway the good news is Donna can pick it up from the vets and even better news is that if the owner does not turn up (we usually give 2 weeks) someone who was in the vets yesterday has just rung me and offered it a home. Bless. Not so many people want an old cat with one eye and possibly deaf.

Aww, fingers crossed for the cat Ela, and good on the garage and the dog walker for helping.

I takes a lot of guts even to tackle some kids now.

If you knew the size of her dogs you would be scared, very scared.

Poor little soul .... sending lots of positive thoughts that it will be OK.

Also a great bit

and

to the dog walker.

Hearing so many bad things lately, it shows there are good people around - I'm so happy for the poor cat - one of the lucky ones

I agree Ela, so many people are scared to intervene when they see bad things now. I takes a lot of guts even to tackle some kids now. If a grown up told us off when we were kids we were petrified.

but I hope the little cat can be helped.

Of out vet feels that the little one can have a quality life, then no matter how much it costs us, we will pay and hopefully find a home that the little one deserves.

I am not going to allow myself to dwell on what was going through those children's minds (thank goodness for the dog walker) but I hope the little cat can be helped.

of course they might have been well meaning kids and just petting it not realising they were probably frightening it.

Knowing of the area they live, I think the Jury is out on that one.

I hope the police were contacted and these kids get a good beating! .

The chance would be a fine thing. What I cannot understand is why were they not at school? I mean when we played hooky or whatever you call it nowadays we used to go to a friends dad house cos we knew he would be out all day. I always remember I and 2 friends did it for a week, On the Friday Mum found out and made me stay in my room all weekend. On the Monday she took me to school and told the Headmistress what we 3 had done. I though that it the cane, but all the headmistress said to me was right Elaine off you go to your class room and tell Mary and Marianne I want to see them. When then came back to the class they had been given the cane. I felt so guilty.

what a shame ela, I do hope it is ok.
Thank goodness the garage gave her the petrol.

can just imagine what the kids were going to do but partially sighted and deaf..it must have been pertrified having been passed around.. A card of thanks to that dog walker woman i think what a star she was intervening and not just "minding her own business"

I hope the police were contacted and these kids get a good beating! . Poor kitty - safe now but who knows what would have happened if the lady wasn't around. When we were kids, we would have taken a stray to the police station or at least taken it home for our mum to sort out.

I received a phone call this morning from a lady who said she was walking her dogs in a woods when she noticed some kids in a den, also inside was a cat that they were passing round, she asked who the cat belonged to and the den fell silent. So she took the cat off the kids. I Immediately contacted Donna one of my fosterers who lives near the lady and she went to collect the little one. Poor thing it only has one eye, is emaciated and might be deaf. She put it straight in the van and as she was approaching Town realized to her horror that there was very little petrol and she had no money on her. She pulled into a petrol station and asked if she could have petrel as she needed to get to the vet urgently, fortunately as it was our CP van they realized it was genuine and let her have petrol and took her watch as a deposit. The little one is now on a drip and having bloods 'done'. Fingers crossed that we got the cat on time.

This was the second emergency of the day, fortunately the first one was chipped and its owner soon found.
