Calling all Cat Spotters of SE23

Notwithstanding as the proud parent of two cats myself, I’d be thrilled to know how they were interacting with the local community.

There is another more positive aspect to this thread. If a precious puss goes missing, the familiarity of that cat to others through a forum like this could help in tracing or finding the pet. I’m not a big fan of letting cats roam freely because of the possible dangers they face. I liken it to letting your cherished child go wondering the 'hood in the wee hours of the morning. I’d be much happier if my cats were becoming part of the community through a forum like this.

And if you see either of these two pudgy pussies around the neighbourhood, let me know immediately. They shouldn’t be.

Not sure of this guys name (Bags Maybe??) but he hangs out all day in Shannons Garden Centre - generally sleeping and being made a fuss of by the likes of me!

Met this gorgeous girl on Thorpewood Ave yesterday. Begged for tummy rubs and very chatty. Then walked with me for a bit.

WE JUST GOT A KITTEN!! :grin: :grin: :grin:

She’s too young to be spotted on the streets of SE23 at the moment, but keep an eye out from October time.

She’s called Tally, and is (supposedly) a bengal-cross.

Apologies for the ropey picture - she’s not too keen on sitting still for photos…

What a beautiful kitten, congrats @Phil

I live on that road - never seen him before! He looks like a fluffy version of my cat Otis! :slight_smile:

Seems our neighbours’ cat Arlo loves the auto-watering system!

This is what happens when one of my two cats thinks I’m paying more attention to the F1 than him …

This is cheating, I know, as this is a feline thread, but that last photo reminded me of Henry enjoying the showjumping at the Olympics.

Pretty much exactly what our cat Sugar does when she sees Henry. Luckily we have a big house. To balance things out, here is Sugar the Cat.

My two cats, Frank and Milly, are indoor cats so don’t get to meet these lovely locals (although I do from time to time!).

I’ll post up some photos if I remember to stick some on my laptop.

There’s a couple of really friendly cats on grierson Road and Riseldine Road that always seem to enjoy following me as I walk along; doing that thing where they run ahead of you, collapse on the ground, writhing, and then start again. :slight_smile:
