MAY we use your letters page to thank your very generous readers for their support over the past few weeks and to ask them to consider helping probably the most disadvantaged in the cat world -- the abandoned strays and wild(ish) cats living rough.

Known as "Bag ladies", they are rarely noticed by the public because they are very shy.

Can I ask readers to pop a can or two of cat food in specially provided bins in Booth's supermarkets at Ansdell and Lytham or give me a call and I will arrange to collect them.

Christine Ashton, Cat Rescue, South Moss Road, St Annes.
