The Best Guide for the Neston Area

Smudge - Not a Lost Cat!

Earlier today we were asked by some concerned residents to advertise what they thought was a stray cat spotted in the Furrocks Way area of Ness.

Thanks to the publicity generated by the article, we can now advise that the cat in question is, in fact, Smudge - a well-loved and looked after pet, who lives happily with his owner Rebe, pictured below.

Rebe says: "I can confirm that Smudge does not need rehoming and please ask people not to feed him as it's affecting his health, because he only has three legs."

So there you have it - not every cat grabbing an extra meal when offered it is necessarily a stray. The well-meant actions of local residents is appreciated, but as Rebe says, please do not feed Smudge if you see him around again, he's got a home to go to.

Excellent news. I know with our cat a collar & tag bearing phone number proved a low cost but worthwhile investment.

Thank you, we might try a collar again, it’s just very risky as he does climb trees and the fear is because he’s disabled if he gets a collar stuck, it will be incredibly hard for him to get free xx
