Has anyone lost a ginger cat?
We’ve had a cat coming in to the house for several weeks and for the first time got a glimpse of it. He/she actually came in through the cat door and into the kitchen while we were home ( normally it’s when we are out or at night into the laundry) to eat our cats food. The poor thing ran out when we called our cat but he didn’t run off completely which makes us think he/she either has a family somewhere or has maybe been lost or left behind. I put some food on the lawn to see if we could identify any injuries etc and try to take a pic. We got a couple of pretty bad ones - attached. Just hoping someone out there might recognise him/her. One of the pics is clear enough to zoom in on. 👍🏻 we are at the back of the golf course on Panapa Drive.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
