Deceased Cat - Awatea Rd / The Runway
A cat was hit by a taxi on Thursday evening. Unfortunately it passed instantly, although thankfully it wouldn't have suffered. I took the cat to the after hours vet but the cat didn't have a microchip. The vet believed it was a spayed female, it was black but with a distinctive white mark between its back legs. It was quite a large cat with a heavy build. It was hit at the intersection of Awatea Rd and The Runway. The cat will be held at the SPCA for 7 days so I desperately want to find the owner. If you know of anyone in the Wigram area that is missing a black cat please let me know. I have a photo but won't post, I can send privately if requested.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
