Cats who teach me to fly…

Who could have hated Boy so much to want to kill him?

The last time I saw Boy was on last Tuesday midnight. I left my feeding area at 12a.m. Boy was happy with the food I gave him. I went to the opposite block to look for him. I saw him, called him and hide myself. Not wanting him to see me. When he couldn’t find me, he walked further away and meowing for me and I was right behind him. There he turned around and saw me and ran quickly to me. I pet his head, telling him I am here. He had a good can of daily delight pure. Happily he licked his mouth, cleaned his face and crossed the road with me.

I left him alone to do what he wanted to do while I carried on with my feeding. As usual, he was walking around sniffing here and there and finally, I finished my feeding and had to say goodbye to him. And that was my last goodbye to him…

On the next day at 0805, one of the resident at Jalan Tenteram texted me a photo, telling me that there was a dead cat. Immediately, I recognized that that was Boy in the photo. I left my house immediately.

I examined Boy’s body thoroughly and found that there were white powder all over his mouth and there were abrasions on both the corner of his mouth and his mouth was tightly closed. Poisoning was the first thing that came to my mind. Someone forced open his mouth and that explained the abrasions at both the cornor of his mouth and closed his mouth tightly. I have never seen one cat died with its mouth closed so tightly. There was blood stain on his penis. Boy was intentionally poisoned by someone who wanted him dead!

SPCA can’t do anything. Police refers to NPark. AVS office came and I had to make a hard decision on whether I should surrender Boy to them so that they can do a post-mortem on him. I was so heart-broken that Boy had to be cut open.

AVS officer said that they will return Boy’s body to me. I am not so interested to find who killed Boy infact. To me nothing can be changed even if we hang the murderer.

The thought of surrendering Boy to AVS saddened me so much… and I was still crying after AVS claimed him.

Boy, 4 years ago. I remember he was newly abandoned and still wearing a collar. I sent him for sterilisation. He was skinny then.

There was another feeder who was feeding him as well. On the same day, I went looking for the feeder, wanting to tell her about what happened to Boy so that she will not go around searching for Boy.

When I saw the feeder, she was already making her second round searching for Boy. The feeder was pulling a trolley and carried two heavy bags. When she stood down and left some food on the floor where she usually left for Boy, she cried.

I walked away feeling painful for her and I cried too…

For those who harm the cats have no idea that they also bring harm and pain to humans… That would include relocation and putting our cats down…

This video was taken on May this year.

There was a tree by the road where Boy loves to scratch. I was touching it just now when I was doing my rounds….
