Wow, sounds like a nightmare, and I thought East London was dangerous
LOL!

You're in East London as well? Where?

I live on a very busy main road so I keep the Furballs indoors. Also
although most cats can avoid dogs or foxes which are the main predatos
likely to go for a cat, they can't avoid the biggest danger of
all...People...

A friend of mine had the sheer Hell of watching her 8 month old brother
and sister kitties die in front of her because a neighbour poisoned
them to "keep them off his lawn". Alas when she called the police the
guy denied he had done it and the police weren't particularly
interested. She has of course since moved away and her new kitties do
not go out

Incidentally a few years ago when we had nicer neighbours than we do
now, they would let us use the downstairs gardens and Fugazi (RB) would
come out and potter round for a bit but always keeping one eye on us in
case we went in. Meanwhile her sister Isis (also RB) would sit on our
bathroom windowsill and scream at us to come back up.

One day I made the very silly mistake of thinking that if she was taken
outside she would come to enjoy it so I picked her up. This cat was a
completely soppy lap fungus and when I carried her out of the flat and
she realised what I was thinking that was the first, the last and the
only time that she bit me...she was NOT going out!!!!!
