Cats who teach me to fly…

Piper is a community cat at Jalan Tenteram. The first time I saw her, she was all so skinny. That was a month ago. At first, I thought she was fussy over food. So I ignored her a little while. After a few times I just felt that it was not right for her not to eat always. I decided to feed her seriously, hoping to help her put on a little weight, just like Bluz from Hougang.

Everyday, I would make an effort to feed her twice a day. If I don’t see her downstairs, I would go up floor by floor to look for her until I find her. And until I feed her, I would pack and leave. If not I wouldn’t leave.

She had quite an appetite actually. If I did not come in the morning on weekends, I would ask someone to feed her.

It was ok for about a month until last Monday. I realised that she was not eating much and she breathe heavily. The minute I saw it, I knew it is not looking good on her. I was sad of course. I didn’t want her to go through all those needles and jab. I decided to bring her home to spend her last moment with me. To let nature takes it course.

At least she is safe from the road now and even though she is eating lesser, she still has food and water 24/7.

I boiled fish for her this morning and she ate a little. Boiled some salmon for her in the late morning but she didn’t like it. Left some canned food for her and she ate a little. I just boiled a prawn and fish for her and left her some canned tuna for the night. Wether she eats or not, the food will always be fresh for her.

She is getting skinnier and weaker. I pray to angels to keep her comfortable.

I want to spend more time with her tomorrow…
