Cats who teach me to fly…

I had been feeding Koufu at Sembawang shortly after I moved in. He was a feral cat. He didn’t allow anyone to get close to him and I am the lucky one. He allowed me to pet him. He was always in a kneading action when he saw me. I knew he loves small canned fussie cat wet food and everytime when I see him, I would give him. He always finished it. 

This is Koufu. I have accidentally deleted all my photos in my hand phone and this is the only photo I have. 

On the 16 Jan this year, a feeder told me that he was knocked down by a car and he was gone in less than 20 minutes. There were 2 feeders feeding him and both of them cried. At least Koufu had 2 aunties who love him. No, I didn’t cry. It hurts though but I didn’t shed a tear cos I always give my best to each of my community cat, knowing that anything could happen anytime. No matter how tired I am at the end of the day or how busy I am, I never fail to walk just a little bit more to give food to the cats. 

Koufu was buried by the feeder who witnessed the accident. Koufu is a lucky boy. He was loved by 3 aunties and got buried. I think he had a beautiful closing.

On the 7 Jan this year, I brought a heavily pregnant cat home. Everyday when I was feeding her at Hougang, I prayed that she and her kittens would be safe and that the kittens would grow up healthily with her mummy. However, as her stomach grew bigger each and everyday, I find it hard to bear. I tried to trap her even before she was pregnant but I couldn’t. Until I couldn’t give her my prayers and blessing anymore I decided to bring her home.

5 kittens were born on 9 Jan.

五福临门!

I hope I do give these lives a chance to live…

When I was a teenager, my classmates asked me what is the meaning of life. I told them I don’t know. 

When I reached my twenties, my colleagues asked me the same question. I told them life is about traveling around the world and enjoy ourselves. 

And in my thirties, the same question came up again. And I told the person who asked me, life is about helping others. 

Today, I asked myself what is the meaning of life? The meaning of life is to liberate myself and other living beings…

And if I am able to live up to fifties, I hope my answer to the same question would be…to liberate all sentient beings…
