Cats who teach me to fly…

I’ve never seen him before. Whoever he saw, he would go near to rub himself against that person and to me, this can be dangerous. Obviously he was once a home cat and now abandoned.

Without hesitation, I took him to my carrier. I checked his teeth and they told me he is still a young boy though very skinny. He was malnourished and time would be needed to boost his health and to help him put on some weight.

Like any cross breed, we’re always confident in rehoming them without having to depend on adoption drives. We posted him on the Cat Welfare Society adoption platform and as usual, we had quite a number of adopters who showed interest in adopting him.

Simba is a sweet cat who is gentle and is able to get along well with other cats and kittens. He definitely loves human companionship.

We’re always happy to see them being well taken care of.

With effect from September this year, two cats are allowed in every household and those who already have more than two cats are allowed to keep them and I’m one of them. We’re given two years to register them for free. I don’t know what would happen to my cats down the road, I guess I can only register them at the end of the given date. We’re also not certain how things would be like since sterilisation is not mandatory. Will the rescuers get busier? Will there be more backyard breeders or more unsterilised cats being abandoned? Lifting the ban is good, at least I no longer have to hide and lie.

I remember one of the reason for banning cats in public housing was the caterwauling sound. This is usually because the cats are not sterilised. Now caterwauling sounds are okay for our authorities. It is no longer an issue and not sterilising them is all right as well… I guess we’ve been fooled!

We still have three more cats waiting to be rehomed and patience is everything now.
