Both 慈细 and Stripie were from Hougang. We found Stripie abandoned in Nov 2015. Mel and I have been feeding him and the rest of the community cats every night.
慈细 was on the street earlier. The same batch as Sheli, Sayang and 慈爱.
A beautiful girl who never allowed me to touch. All the time I have to pretend to look elsewhere and suddenly lifted my hand to touch her and she would jump high and run away but not far. Only a stone’s throw away. She would then walk back to her food where I left for her.
She would always run to me when she saw me coming but too shy to allow me to touch. I did hear some abnormalities in her breathing. It didn’t bother me much as she was a big eater until she went missing for three days.
Another scaredy cat! Stripie would rub against me when he was hungry and waiting for his food. But once he had his full, he would run off and not come near again unless he wanted more food.
I am very fortunate to be able to see them go and to cremate them.
They may be community cats but they do have many who care for them. They have their paws in our hearts and that’s where their home is.
Cats who teach me to fly...
