Should cats follow some rules?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We can all appreciate a good family cat but cats aren't known for toeing the line. New Zealand currently has no national cat management plan, allowing domestic and stray cats to roam and breed as they please.

New Zealand currently has no national cat management plan, allowing domestic and stray cats to roam and breed as they please. This can lead to the death of native species, not to mention creating nuisance for neighbours. Do you think some laws should be in place for our feline friends?

Missing football

Hi friends

Recently my football obsessed son (7) saved up to buy a women’s World Cup branded football. We’ve been playing football at the front of our place on Arrow Street, but haven’t been good at bringing the ball inside afterwards.

It was last seen by one of the mini goals that we have. We’ve looked everywhere and checked with the neighbours but it can’t be found. I’d hate to think someone has come and taken it but that looks like the only conclusion - even if it was some larrikin grabbing it and booting it down the street.

It has either “Kit” or “Kit Mason” written on it. If anyone sees it and could get in touch it would make a small boy very happy.

Thanks all

Nick
