Is this your cat? Gorge Road area.
A very fluffy grey, white and cream cat has been visiting our property at 154 Gorge Road for the past couple of months. It is quite shy and makes no attempt to approach us or enter the house but we do think it has been a pet and not a random stray. It has recently taken to hiding and sleeping in our shed, which is a worry if we were to be away for a couple of days. When we saw it yesterday, it was limping, so now concerned for its welfare.
Please let us know if it could be yours or belong to someone close by. Or even to somebody who has moved away.
Haven't managed to get a photo, but still trying.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
