A send off for a local tabby cat found deceased

Christine Blance from Christchurch South Community Gardens

Hi to Spreydon and Sydenham Neighbours,

Kate ( Burns St) and I ( Christine - Strickland St Community Gardens) buried a lovely cat found deceased on the corner of Deyell and Strickland St last night. We took it to the local vet to check for a microchip but none was found. It was a small light brown tabby with a white front. The fur seemed slightly long and silky. We buried Tabby at the Christchurch South Community Gardens in an area that is becoming a small cemetery for cats - it is a special place that will not ever be dug up by us or disturbed. If you think this is your cat - feel free to stop by at the gardens anytime or contact me on Ph. 9426630. Christine

Response to regifting presents

Gordon from Halswell

My mind tends to wander:
I do not see any problem with regifting it back to the person who gave it, they obviously liked it. In fact, that might work out well as you buy the present you want, then gift it to someone you know who will gift it back.
Perfect, no decision needs to be made about Xmas presents
