no sign of it, hopefully it is okay

I know people will disagree, but who lets out a 3 legged cat out in the middle of London? We live near a busy road that already has claimed a neighbours cat and broke the leg of another.  I understand people think it's cruel to make them stay in doors, but honestly sometimes cruel to be kind? Poor thing I hope its ok too.

I'll take that ????

I would keep the cat indoors too, it  was very jumpy and distressed, obviously new to the area.

Today's long range on bbc. He did say not sure yet so don't take as gospel !! ???

[Gowon]

The latest GFS run is absolutely crap for our area.. Don't want cold weather in March if it doesn't produce snow

Without wanting to sound controversial, I would keep all cats indoors period. Their a menace to our native wildlife and are a big factor in the decline in our bird population. That said I hope the cat is well and I’m sure it will be as their a hardy bunch.

They have been saying that nearly all week there is still so much uncertainty on this situation probably still many twists and turns to come. 

I am really feeling the exhaustion of model watching and cold chasing lol ?. Seems like itself cold keeps gets shunted further in time. Let's hope this winter will go out proving it can still do the good deeds. 

I have not been on The MOD thread all day today just promised myself I will stay on my regional thread and hope for the best, 

regards ????

I’m not a cat person , don’t not like them but think they are very selfish animals ... dogs on the other hand are very loyal ... specially boxers and bulldogs ... and cats are just doing their job aren’t they by being wild and free to play cat n mouse

Maybe they can do their job in their native country ? 

why not let some tigers out for good measure. ?

I did not feel no earthquake today despite it being registered even in the SE much of England registered it! Great day on the Sussex coast, chilly and blue skies been very good for weather since Friday here.

Models are still getting to grips with the SSW influence

That's true completely agree I still think there is going to be a few twists and turns. The Metoffice are still broadcasting with uncertainty and they use super computers so I am not surprised at the models. 

This episode is far from solved yet and I am afraid it's just the waiting game, seems to be going on and on. Spring is round the corner so we will know sooner than later if this all pans out. 

Fingers still crossed stay together people

I'm not an animal person, especially indoors. We grew up with several cats and 3 dogs and didn't enjoy picking up their s**t side of things - plus they smell.

My late cat was a fabulous rat killer. He’d bring one in every few weeks as a ‘gift’, some were massive. Had to keep him in for 3 weeks after an op....no chance, within 4 days he was smashing the house up, knocking everything off shelves, bookcases, etc. So had to let him out. He came back though and was the most loyal, chatty and cuddly pet I’ve ever had. All my friends and family just loved him. I still miss him, 4 years on.

Hope the 3 legged cat is ok.

That's how they behave if you don't castrate them..

I prefer cats (once they're castrated) My parents have a cat and she's quite touchy feely with me - as soon as I sit down, she'll jump on me rubbing up on me and start clawing my clothes.
