Finally I took them home. I was worried about Toofy not being able to adapt to a home environment. Instead, Goofy was the one who took a longer time to adapt whereas Toofy adapted quite immediately. Toofy loves roaming on the street. His AirTag led me to places he frequented. Sometimes, he went as far as Shuang Lin Shi.
Goofy often rested under cars at the multi-storey carpark. I hardly see him moving except for food, pee and poop. Most of the time, he stayed under the vehicle.
Goofy was really loud on his first four nights. Even today, he tends to enjoy singing different tunes every night. Toofy was very patient with Goofy. I can see Goofy was trying to seek comfort from Toofy but they both didn’t get along when they were at the carpark. However, I spotted them sleeping close to each other at the carpark many times.
Toofy has coughing fits which would leave him vulnerable and unable to defend himself if he had remained as a community cat. Goofy tends to stay away from people except me. No one can touch him. It is safe for him this way. Toofy goes to everyone who pets him and would roll and show off his belly.
There has been a few cat abuse cases recently. It was brutal and our authorities are not doing anything about it. Their investigations were not transparent. They closed the cases too soon giving the reason that the cats were hit by vehicle. We all knew that these abused cats weren’t hit by vehicles.
The community cats are well taken care of by their caregivers like myself. We give our effort, time and money. We send them to vet and release them when they recover and provide them with food and clean water every day. When our community cats’ lives are at stake, it is not only about them, it’s also about us! However, our authorities refuse to see this.
There are still other community cats downstairs and they are well taken care of by other feeders. They too are responsible feeders. After removing Toofy and Goofy from the street, I stopped hanging around at the void deck with Toofy late at night and spending time at the carpark in the afternoon with them. I save two hours every day.
When you get older, you just want to have more time with yourself. At least, I am the one. I have enough time to rest in the afternoon and get to do some sketching and reading late at night.
Both are coping well at home today. Basically, Toofy never shows signs of wanting to go out and Goofy becomes clingy like a baby and wants to be petted all the time.
