Woman put cat in bin for a “joke”

Aren’t jokes supposed to be funny?

I don’t think Lola the kitten thought it was very funny to be scruffed by a stranger and stuffed into a wheelie bin, only to be found a terrifying 15 hours later by her worried owners who heard her plaintive cries.

Thank goodness the bin men didn’t collect that day.

Mary Bale, who carried out this bizarre act, was quoted in The Sun as saying “It’s just a cat” and that she didn’t know “what the fuss is about”. The RSPCA didn’t think it was very funny and are investigating.

Her actions are certainly beyond my comprehension, that’s for sure. Let us know your thoughts.

Oldie but goodie!

Back to black

Black is back, let me tell you.

Worthing and District Animal Rescue Service have a huge variety of beautiful, sleek black cats just waiting to join you in your home.

Did you know that fishermen’s wives believed that having a black cat in your home ensured their husbands would return from sea? And King Henry I had the right idea – he decided that the penalty for killing a black cat was death, so he obviously thought they were worth protecting!

Everyone knows that a black cat crossing your path is good luck, but did you know that to dream about one is also lucky?

So if you are dreaming about having your very own lucky charm, take a look at the WADARS website and contact them today on 01903 217788 to give one of these special cats a loving new home.

And if you are Scottish, you might also believe that your new addition will bring prosperity! However, just in case that doesn’t happen straight away, we definitely recommend taking out pet insurance!
