Help with rogue cat

Justine from Saint Johns

Hi neighbours,
I posted about a little ginger cat we had seen and we put food out to see if we could identify it. Unfortunately it seems it has attracted a bully to the property and it comes inside , eats our cats food , sprays everywhere and - the worst is it beats our cat up pretty badly. He’s had to go to the vet twice so far and one of those times he needed surgery. It looks like he needs another trip and we’ve kind of got to the end of the rope. Has anyone got any ideas about how to get rid of this intruder?

What workplace change would you like to see most?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.

As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.

Do you feel that we have reached the ideal in working environments yet? What rights are you passionate about relating to employment? Share your thoughts!
