Missing fluffy ginger cat ***FOUND***
AT 4AM ON 5 MAY, TAI BURST IN THE BACK DOOR! HE HAS LOST 25% OF HIS BODY MASS, IS HOARSE FROM CALLING, AND VERY HUNGRY. BUT THANKFULLY UNINJURED. BEEN LOCKED IN SOMEWHERE? WHO KNOWS! PLEASE *ALWAYS CHECK THERE ARE NO CATS TRAPPED BEFORE YOU CLOSE UP A SHED, GARAGE, CARAVAN, RENTAL, OR YOUR HOME.
If you've perhaps seen a large light-GINGER quite fluffy neutered male cat, quite substantial - our boy has been missing from BURNSIDE for about 2 weeks. He seems to do this periodically, but not usually for this long. He is 7 years old and microchipped but doesn't wear a collar. Please check any sheds or garages you may have left open and then locked. He's very gentle but a bit timid about noise (quake refugee). Very cuddly and not scared of dogs. Loves (adores) small children who are gentle with him.
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)
.
