5th Feb 1926 - Letters

Dear Sir,

Lovers of cats will deplore the fact that many of these animals meet their death through being caught in rabbit snares. The black cat, referred to in last week's "Gazette," who was trapped in a snare for nine days, was lucky to escape. 

Several cats have been lost from Norfolk Road and Newtown, and the name of one person connected with the loss of a grey tabby cat is known. 

It is stated that the skins of the animals are worth from 1/6, and this may account for the disappearance of some of our cats.

There will be trouble for one gentleman before long.

Yours faithfully,

"Fluff".
