A giant fatberg, potentially the size of four Sydney buses, within Sydney Water’s Malabar deepwater ocean sewer has been identified as the likely source of the debris balls that washed up on Sydney beaches a year ago.

Bit of a long shot, but do any veterinarians follow me who would be willing to take a quick look at a video of my cat, who has developed a limp, and tell me what I should do?
He's being watched by friends in Toronto while I'm in the UK and the local vets are all closed. Poor little guy is clumsy.
