Poll: Should NZ have a "junk food" tax?

Missing cat: Cream

Talita from Pakuranga Heights

Hi there. We are missing our cat Cream. She has white long hair and blue eyes. She is very nervous and probably hiding under a deck or tarp or somewhere quiet. I think she was scared of the weather last night. That is when we saw her last. She has health issues and on a special diet. Please don’t feed her.
