Pretty went missing since last Monday. We have been feeding Pretty for more than 9 years. We knew she was old already. We tried to catch her but we couldn’t. She didn’t allow us to touch her.
I still leave food every night at the usual place where she eats. I’ll carry on doing so for another week, just in case she returns… and will stop after 2 weeks of waiting.
Before I left for retreat at Jhana Grove, I told myself I’ll bring all the cats home from Hougang when I’m back . But 慈忠 and Pretty must be caught first. We tried but failed. The rest were easy to catch.
Finally, our mission was done yesterday.
It wasn’t difficult to put the cats into the carriers. What’s finished is done! And it was done beautifully on the last night of 2022.
We took the 4 and they are with Melanie. They can’t be caged and Mel has a master room which is big enough to accommodate all of them. I really have Mel to thank. And from 2023, I’ll have 1½ hours of free time in the evening. This free time should be used to create slides and animation for propagating the Dhamma. It is specially dedicated to all the cats, all whom we’re in touch with and the future productions will be dedicated to all sentient beings.
And I’m already in the mist of painting the monks…
Lots of rest for me in this new year too…
Cats who teach me to fly...
