Someone shooting cats in Berhampore

Caroline from Berhampore

Somebody is shooting cats in Berhampore. My slender black Mandalay cat has been very unwell over the past weeks.

After X-raying her chest in the weekend, the vet discovered the pellet from an air rifle is lodged in her chest cavity. Given that there is a feral cat colony between Luxford St and Te Wharepouri St and many of those cats or skinny black cats - my suspicion is that somebody might be taking shots at cats they believe are strays. Regardless of the why, this is not cool, and it is not safe. Just a heads up that if you live around the Te Wharepouri St / Luxford area and your cat starts behaving strangely - check for gunshot.

Nocturnal Feline issues

Pauline from Mount Victoria

Hi Neighbours
I am just putting my feelers out here on behalf of my boy Billy the Cat in the hope someone might be able to help me understand the Cat dynamics in the neighbourhood by night
Yesterday Billy had a urgent vet trip after his chin was bitten open and he had significant blood loss

Hi Neighbours
I am just putting my feelers out here on behalf of my boy Billy the Cat in the hope someone might be able to help me understand the Cat dynamics in the neighbourhood by night
Yesterday Billy had a urgent vet trip after his chin was bitten open and he had significant blood loss
Thanks so much to Brooklyn Vets they popped him into surgery straight away and he is recovering at home today
Vet and staff were amazing
Reason I am posting is while in the past wasn't as significant as yesterday Billy has been hurt in the same place 3 times now within the last year and always warranted Vet
I accept has always been my choice to allow him outside by night but I think those nights are over as something out there is giving him the bash on multiple occasions recently
I am just wondering if nearby neighbours have had any issues re same with your cats
Me and Billy have been locals for 12 years now and I don't feel he is safe by night anymore
There are obviously bullies in the neighbourhood
And there is considerable constant transition with non residents moving in and out
How do we keep our Pets Safe by night without locking them in
I guess I know that answer I just wonder if anyone close to my address has had any issues to
Appears the nocturnal cat wars are on the increase and injuries all cost money but more so emotional with one's cat being hurt
I am obviously human so I will be the first one to say I don't believe that Billy is a bully but things just seem on the increase with Cat fights
Any advice would be much appreciated
Kind Regards
Pauline and Billy
