Is anyone else trying to avoid Ned Rose Day? I do not mind in the slightest what other people think is fun for fund raising, but I would like to quietly ignore it.

Can you start acting your age instead of your shoe size?

I enquired why the ladies in the pasty shop were gaily attired, hadn't realised & still don't care.

Am trying to trap a feral male cat so that he can get neutered. He is making a pest of himself by beating up the neighbour's elderly cat, though the girls have given him pretty short shrift. And he's spraying on everything in sight.
He'll be far less of a nuisance with his pompoms removed.Someone had another free meal out of the trap during the night without stepping on the kickplate and triggering the flap. Have had some useful tips from a friend who regularly traps ferals, so will put them into action after the weekend.

He's scruffy, skinny, battle-scarred and scared of people. Plus I live in a rural area near two feral colonies that our branch of CP keeps an eye on. If I catch him, he will be checked for a chip as a matter of course, but he *will* be leaving the vets without his crown jewels.

If he's neutered, he will get back to a decent weight, won't be roaming looking for girls (which is why he comes here, though mine are spayed) and he won't be picking up anymore injuries through fighting. Even if he does belong to someone, which I seriously doubt, he'll be a much happier cat for it.

More often than not, it's ignorance, a "can't be arsed attitude" or a "I want to breed moggy kittens to make money" that leaves cats unneutered. That and the fact that young cats get abandoned when it's time to go to the vet for the snip because a) people don't want to pay (which is ridiculous, because we run a neuter your cat for a fiver scheme) and b) because it's not a cute kitten anymore.
Three years ago, our branch removed 42 cats from one house as a result of "I want to breed kittens to make money". We're still dealing with the consequences of that three years down the line as a result of temperament issues, inbreeding etc...
