Black or Black Brown Cat clearly a pet hungry for food at Caledonian Rd St Albans

Marcy from St Albans

A clearly loved lovely, large, healthy, dark short haired cat (looks kinda Burmese) is a nightly visitor at 230 B Caledonian Rd. He has a beautiful dark, maybe black or very dark brown coat and is in great condition and affectionate. I can't tell if he lives in the "hood", sleeps all day and comes out at night for a midnight snack (because his family watch his food intake) or if he is lost. He has green eyes and a gentle mrow and likes to picked up and held. So, clearly he is not a stray. He hopped onto my bed last night & my cat didn't really mind so I think they have become mates. He has been visiting at nights for about a month. I usually leave biscuits outside for him but he really likes the special expensive ones I keep inside and cried last night because I didn't feed him. He is terribly smart and follows my cat inside at night knowing that Uber Eats will be arriving any moment. He also knows the biscuits are in the pantry and last night ran around the kitchen wanting me to get the biscuits for him, while my cat just sat and watched the circus. I am happy to feed him but his family may not want him getting extra food. He looks like he weighs approx 5 ks and is fairly young - maybe 3? He looks a bit like the missing cat Marlow from St Albans who's pic was posted 71 days ago. I can't find a link to Marlow's family so the page must have expired. I don't know if he was ever found...
Any suggestions welcome

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and youโ€™re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:โ€‹โ€‹
โŒ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codesโ€‹โ€‹
โŒ Never need to know your full credit card number โ€“ especially the CVC
โŒ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your deviceโ€‹โ€‹
โŒ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? ๐Ÿ›ป๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
