Bubbles is home!
After 8 long months missing, my cat Bubbles has been found and is home again safe and sound. We are beyond excited and happy to have our lovely boy home again. Thank you for all the support over the past months, it was greatly appreciated during such a difficult time. It was so distressing not knowing where he was or what happened to him.
I know some of you will be looking forward to having a visit from Bubbles as he does his rounds in the neighbourhood, but for those of you who don't enjoy his visits, please give him a squirt with your garden hose as he really hates that and it just may deter him from coming back, or if you have a water pistol, keep it loaded and in a handy location for quick easy access to squirt him. You never know, you may actually enjoy it! Feel free to contact me and I can supply you with the water pistol if you like this option. I know he can be a nuisance and I understand your concerns, but please remember he's not just a cat to us, he's family. Please be patient as we are not here long term and will be leaving the neighbourhood once our house is built.
Bubbles will be locked in over night and we'll do our best to keep him home during the day when we are home.
And finally, for those of you with missing pets, please, never give up hope.
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)
