LOVE being charitable in November but can’t grow a moustache? The friends of Perth writer and artist Kate-Anna St Valentine are continuing the tradition she started with “Meowvember” to raise money for the animal shelter charity SAFE (who don’t just do cats: They’ll even keep guinea pigs safe). Ms St Valentine had cancer and died in January, but friends describe her as a “mega-talented, vegan, animal-loving, supremo babe with a huge heart and a life-force you’d never forget”. Many friends still post to her Facebook wall at least once a week. Ms St Valentine launched Meovember back in 2011 and this year friends and cat fans Miko Katze and SJ Finch are hoping to match the $1500 she raised the first time round. Check out the “Meowvember 2015” Facebook page to keep track of their cat-poem writing and cat-costume wearing adventures.

WE’VE long heard complaints from residents and traders near Weld Square who are fed up with “anti-social behaviour” but last week problems boiled over big time with a man being stabbed in the neck. At 2.15pm on October 29 police were called to a fight between two men and found a 42-year-old with minor stab wounds to the neck. They shuttled him off to RPH for treatment while the other bloke fled. Police urge anyone with info to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. They describe the offender as dark skinned and short.
