The simple gesture of sending a Christmas card could help tackle "the single biggest issue facing older people today".

It all started when Auckland woman Hannah Rodgers and her son, Jayden, committed to 100 days of kindness in the lead-up to Christmas last year.

"On day 65, Jayden suggested we write a card for someone who might feel lonely at Christmas," Rodgers says.

Now Rodgers and her son want the campaign, Sending Love, to help 100,000 Kiwis of all ages as it returns for its second year.

A feral feline missing an ear has not let his injuries hold him back from impregnating other cats in a North Canterbury town.

The black and white short-haired cat, locally known as Scruffy, appears to be in pain since a fight in September. He is missing his right ear, has a swollen face, cannot hold his head up properly and has difficulty walking in a straight line.

In an effort to flush him out, a local cat rescue service is urging residents in Ashgrove area of northwest Rangiora not to feed him.
