Have been meaning to reply to this sooner sorry. I am sorry to hear about this Dragonfly.

There are posters up on the trees on Vancouver / Marler / Hurstbourne Roads at the moment about an alleged dog attack on a cat on Marler Road. The poster describes that their cat was attacked by a dog in the night, and only found in the morning, and had to be put down. The owner obviously didn't see the incident if the cat was only found in the morning, so maybe the vet surmised that it was a dog attack. I wonder if it could have been a fox too?

There is a phone number on the poster asking if anyone has any more information about the incident.

Sorry cat owners don't want to alarm you just thought I should post this as it struck me as it just struck me as fairly similar to the incident that Dragonfly describes, although not in the same area of FH.

Dragonfly if you want me to I can jot down the phone number and PM you.
