A tiny fledgling and Tigger

18/12/2025 by A learning buddhist...

I usually don’t get up early in the morning. However, I was thinking of Tigger, the ginger cat at Whampoa. He had not stepped out of his recently made shelter for the past three nights, and I thought he might be in trouble.

The little shelter is covered with cloth, and I can only see his tiny paws. The place he sleeps is right in front of someone’s corridor. The owner of the flat hardly opens the door at the hour when I am feeding the cats. Last night, the door was opened, and Tigger was hardly moving in his shelter. I was worried he could be unwell or chained. I woke up immediately, took a quick shower, and cycled over to check on him.

There he is! Safe and sound!

I’ll make sure I flip the cloth every night to check on him.

Before I cycled to Whampoa, I saw a fledgling lying helplessly on the cover of the drain. I picked her up and placed her somewhere safe, promising to help her once I was done with Tigger.

When I returned, the fledgling had moved away from its original location. I saw a white cloth, a cup of water, and a half-empty water bottle lying there. I believe they came from the funeral wake nearby. It’s good to know that people care.

I tucked the fledgling in the cat carrier and contacted ACRES. I’m glad that ACRES was willing to take over.

I believe she is weak, which is why the way she rested looked a little awkward.

Securing her in a box.

I dropped her off at ACRES at noon. I hope all goes well for her!

A busy morning for a good cause!

  • “Bhikkhus, dwell with yourselves as an island, with yourselves as a refuge, with no other refuge; with the Dhamma as an island, with the Dhamma as a refuge, with no other refuge. ~ SN 22.43

  • “Enough, Vakkali! Why do you want to see this foul body? One who sees the Dhamma sees me; one who sees me sees the Dhamma. For in seeing the Dhamma,Vakkali, one sees me; and in seeing me, one sees the Dhamma.” ~ SN 22.87

  • I highly recommend reading the sutta translated by Piya Tan. His "Laymen Saints" has been an inspiration to many lay people.
