A problem close to home, thinking I have been super-vigilant only to find I have been scammed. Big Tech has the resources and the profits to honour the contract they have with their customers. They should instigate tighter checks and infrastructure to mitigate.

Ministers promised to make Big Tech go ‘further and faster’ to fight fraud on their platforms in 2024. But while fraud attempts skyrocket and social media giants profit from scam ads, ministers have taken almost two years to pull together a fraud plan that fails to acknowledge tech giants’ res...

I am sure I'm not the only person to unknowingly fall victim to a scam (usually to a Facebook purchase months after the event). Big Tech has the profits and infrastructure to place more stringent checks to ensure the online safety of customers from scams.

Please forward this. Thank you.

HAVE I LOANED YOU A CAT TRAP WHICH IS STILL TO BE RETURNED?

I need a secretary! With the cattery being so busy these days I don't record things straight away and am missing an expensive £130 professional cat trap I loaned but still have not received back. Could you check your sheds please and return it if you come across it. Many thanks

ARE THERE ANY TRULY INDEPENDENT VETERINARY PRACTICES IN MORAY?

I have been a loyal customer for all my rescue animals with my current vet for almost 15 yrs and had ben happy until the trend for the independents to join finance consortia.

Suddenly my vet bills have rocketed sky high.

I booked one of my rescues in for a routine dental expecting the bill to be in the region of £200 at the most. When I dropped him off this morning I found the bill once all the obligatory additions were added was likely to be in the region of four times my previous invoices for similar work carried out.

I was horrified. I did not ask for jewel-encrusted canines for the cat; all I wanted was a simple extraction of the tooth/teeth causing him painful eating.

I fund all veterinary costs of the many animals that are "dumped" with me and fund their medical care from the profits of the cattery and have done since 2006.

I feel strongly there should be an Ombudsman to regulate these outrageous pricing systems.

DO YOU STILL HAVE A CAT TRAP YOU BORROWED FROM ME LURKING IN YOUR SHED SOMEWHERE?

If so, could you please bring it back to me at the cattery ASAP. You will have seen my earlier post from this morning regarding the theft of one of my traps from Lidl carpark. I now only have the new one delivered yesterday afternoon but there are still more young cats (probably from the same litter) that I need to trap and get to safety. It would help enormously to have the two outstanding returns brought in to me quickly to prevent the youngsters being killed on the road while looking for food and shelter.

If you loaned the trap on to one of your contacts, then please ask them to either return to you, or return directly to me at the cattery.

Many thanks

THIEVES!!!

What is wrong with people?

As you all know, in conjunction with running the cattery, I try to give something back and will trap, neuter, work on socialisation skills and rehome the 'graduates' to happy Forever Homes. This week I was asked to help catch a young cat who was hanging around Lidl carpark. I brought a cat trap and left it in the carpark bushes where the young cat was spotted. The trap was not set to give the young cat confidence it was safe to enter, until I was sure it was still returning for the turkey mince meal. One of the employees in Lidl was keeping an eye on the trap during the day.

The night before last the trap was stolen!

I despair of the honesty of some people. The trap cost me £75 three years ago. Previously I have loaned two good cat traps to assist people who have unfortunately not returned them or loaned them to others. I have now had to purchase another quickly (over £100 plus VAT plus £30 carriage to the cattery because it is a Highlands and Islands surcharge (don't get me started on THAT one****). Consequently should anyone want to borrow a cat trap in future I will have to charge a deposit.

And in the mean time, the young cat is getting more and more feral and in a worse case scenario could be killed trying to cross the road looking for food.

I AM CROSS!!!!!
