Black cat

Madena from South Dunedin

EDIT:Ive been sitting outside pretty much this whole weekend (my kids are at nanas so I'm being extra lazy😏) and I've watched this cat closely it comes out from under my deck when I come outside around 6am jumps over the back fence then comes back to have breakfast out of my compost ,on to my deck and into my wash house ,back under the deck ,into my garage into my drive way and within an hour or 2 it's back.... it's done this aaaaall weekend there hasn't been more than a couple of hours at most that I haven't seen it so that to me says it thinks it lives here??? Otherwise surely anyone on here who thinks it's their cat would notice it's never bloody home??

Hi all, I've recently moved to young st (not quite 2 months yet) and ever since I moved in this cat has been here... I think it's a girl ( but only going off the pretty eyes) so I could be wrong. It has no collar or anything.
It eats out of my compost,sleeps in my garden and under deck,and rips open unattended rubbish bags from time to time, It's very shy around us but It will wander right into my house like it lives here until it hears a noise or realizes someone is home and takes off. There is also a small hole that has been cut out of my garage door that it uses like a cat door...couldve been cut intentionally?? and my partner has found puddles in there but obviously cant be sure it's from the same cat
I'm not sure if it belongs to a surrounding neighbor or if it was left behind by the last tenant or if it's just lost .
Today I managed to lure it close enough (with ham haha) to take some pics
Hope someone out there can identify it 😺

P.s also a large-ish tabby hanging around, not as much as the black one but have seen them asleep together....perhaps left by/belong to the same owner

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
