Ginger Cat missing
Timmy is very small for his 7yrs old. His left ear is nipped as he is a SPCA TNR (trap,neuter ,return) cat! Born in the Belmont Bush(Hill Rd, not far from Sweetacres). Despite being neutered he still sometimes goes walkabout , but not this long for two wks ,maybe a few days. Maybe because of the geographical location of my property , ( creek, swing bridge,) he had to cross the Rd over to Sweet acres or heavens know where?! He may be shy, but he is very vocal. I've had him since he was only 4 wks old (don't know if he was abandoned or the offspring of a bush or stray cat) but I miss him like hell. I just want to know what's happened !
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)
.
