Thin kitty - been in a bad cat fight
Hello neighbours, just wondering if anyone recognises this cat. I'm sorry the photos are so bad, I was having to use a torch in one hand and my phone in the other. I also know you're not supposed to feed random cats but it looked so thin that I had a moment of weakness so I'm sorry for that too! Kitty was also quite dirty, there was fur ALL over the street this morning (I'm on Dunluce Place) and when I patted this cat this evening I could feel all the scratches on it's skin so I'm assuming that the fur belongs to this kitty. Fur was also very thin over its whole back (you can see a patch by it's shoulders in the photos). It's a gingery tabby with white front and back legs, a white face and black nose and has curly hair on the back of it's back legs with a very fluffy tail. PLEASE if this is your cat or you recognise it can you let me know because I'm really worried about him/her!

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
