Cats who teach me to fly…

She was less than six months then. As she was a newly abandoned female, I had to sterilise her as soon as I can. However, I did wait for three weeks before I sent her to spay. And that was on December 2013.

According to the information on the website, cats which are FeLV positive do not live more than three years.

Suigu was not eating since four days ago. I also noticed that she has fresh marks and scratches over her body and it was only recently. My guess is the virus could have spread to her during the attack from other cats to her.

I send her to the vet last night but it was too late. She passed away after midnight.

Suigu is around two-and-a half-years-old I guess. That is too young for a cat…

Suigu loves to eat Royal Canin fit 32 a lot. She was always waiting for my arrival and I never forget to give her plentiful of it. Never.

I remember I even quarrelled with a chinese family there because they refused to let her eat. Suigu was small and skinny then and she was always hungry. The chinese family kept throwing her food away, thus not allowing her to eat and that was my food that they were throwing. Good! They have offended me too! There I raised my voice as loud as I could. Sometimes, towards selfish and unreasonable people, raising voice (which I hated so much) is the best solution. I don’t really care about my image as long as the cats get to eat and stay alive.

That was Suigu and I.

Suigu will be cremated and Mel and I will do a POWA for her as well as the four black kittens that have passed away recently.

The only space I have is my bathroom.

The bathroom is specially decorated for Dahlia.

And below picture is little Dahlia.

Dahlia like Lady, they are from Thomson. Dahlia too was heavily pregnant.
Dahlia was trapped by me on 1st of March. I sent her straight to the fosterer’s home after trapping her. However, the fosterer did not meet my requirements and I had to send Dahlia to the boarding house. Due to Pearl’s heavy medical cost, I had to bring Dahlia home to save the boarding fee. And at the same time, I also found another fosterer for Dahlia. However, the fosterer neither wanted me to visit Dahlia nor did she want me to interfere with anything. I refused to accept her terms. It all sounded unreasonable to me.
In the end, I have to keep Dahlia myself and am most willing to do so.
Dahlia has made me so popular. Because the second fosterer was so unreasonable, I had to tell her what is the role of being a fosterer. That is to return all cats or/and kittens to the rescuer when the fostering period is over. I even told her that she is allowed to adopt the cat or kittens if she wants to. Anyway, she was unhappy and posted our conversation on Facebook. I did not see it but my friend did. I only wish that she could post all of our conversation so that everyone who read it would know what was really going on.
Although i have prepared a cage for Dahlia, I have no intention to cage Dahlia. So Dahlia was free to move about within the bathroom.
On the second day, Dahlia had made me infamously popular.
On that morning, I went to check on Dahlia after I woke up. When I opened my door. I saw no trace of her. I can’t see her in the cage, not in the little house that I have made for her. She was no where to be found. I noticed the window was opened and I came to a conclusion that Dahlia could have jumped down from the bathroom and left me…
I quickly went to my service yard and see if she survive. I saw her paw print on top of my air con compressor and I affirmed that Dahlia did indeed escaped from the bathroom window.
My heart sank! I went down to look for her carcass but it was no where to be found. Mel suggested that I call town council. And I did and was told that no one pick any carcass that morning. That was strange!
I went every floor leaving notes in my neighbour’s door step. I went down to look up at all the service yard and I realised that in order to have a better view, I need to be at opposite block and ask for permission from the owner of the flat to allow me to go in to their service yard(our service yard faces each other) and have a clearer look. A malay guy on the 17 floor on the opposite block was home and he allowed me to take a look at his service yard. I really appreciated his kindness.
From his service yard, I thought I saw Dahlia in between the floor of my air con ledge and on the roof of the unit below. However, the guy did not see it. I told him to help me keep a look out and I went home straight.
When I reached home, I went to the bathroom again to investigate and walked to the service yard to look out at my air con ledge to check on it again. I saw nothing. Suddenly I heard a voice from my opposite block, it was that guy, he yelled at me and said that Dahlia was in between my floor and the roof of the below unit.
Quickly, I called the rescuer to help. Rescuer arrived half an hour later. He managed to grab Dahlia savely. At that moment of rescuing, to me the rescuer risked his life cos he was out of my flat and only had a pole on his right side to hold on to. To the rescuer, he said he only risked his arm. Dahlia bite him badly on his hand while he grabbed Dahlia. It was either the rescuer let go of Dahlia or he let her bite his hand and save her. He chooses the latter one.
And Dahlia was back to her bathroom and this time I shutted my bathroom window.

I was so happy. I thought I will never see Dahlia again.
The rescuer who rescued Dahlia texted me on the next day, he told me his picture was in stomp and the person who reported it told Stomp that Dahlia has fell from 20th storey and died. And I was popular again cos the news went viral in Facebook and many cursed and sweared me. I did not fight back cos I think I was wrong for not closing the bathroom window.
In order to protect the rescuer, I called Stomp to tell the whole story the next day.

I nearly lost Dahlia 3 times.
This morning, 16 March, Dahlia gave birth to four beautiful Dahlias and I was so happy even until now.

Yes, we have decided to have Pearl’s knee fixed. Pearl’s knee was dislocated. According to Dr Tharm, her injury had been quite a while. It had been a week since the surgery had been done and Pearl is doing well.

Pearl’s kungfu leg! So cute!

Pearl was discharged two days ago and she is resting well at home.

She will have her bandage removed tomorrow and she will have to undergo physiotherapy. I hope all is well for her and she will recover quickly.

Little Pearl was rescued on 16 Feb at Whampoa. When I first saw her, her body looked strange to me. I moved further to pet her and she allowed me. When she started to walk, her right hind leg was hanging, unable to land on the ground. She walks with three legs. I think she was born deformed. Whereas my friend thinks that her leg was broken and healed itself in a funny way…

This picture was captured on the day I brought her home.
My intention is to find her a forever loving home. Pearl is now at Guest Haus and we are putting Pearl up for adoption at Guest Haus. I believe once she has integrated with other cats, she will be better.
Lady was rescued on 18 Feb at Thomson. I board her at Guest Haus and manage to find Lady a fosterer after five days. Lady is at fosterer’s home now.

The reason why I rescued her was she was heavily pregnant and Lady has a young face. I estimate her to be around six months old. She gave birth to five healthy kittens on 25 Feb.

Lady and her five kittens.

My friend calls it a black beauties rescue.
Many wanted to spay Lady. They said that I was not being realistic to save her. Many opposed. However, when I saw Lady’s kittens was born and six precious lives are safe and sound now, I felt that all these are worthwhile. 🙂 Next is to spay Lady when she no longer nurse her kittens and all kittens and Lady will be sent for vaccination. And next would be putting them up for adoption. I will not release Lady back to where she was but will do my best to find her a good home.

Joy was rescued on Christmas, 27 December,  last year. She was successfully adopted two weeks later.

Joy is an extremely “manja” cat.

I didn’t get to know her well as she was at the fosterer’s home. Whenever I visited her, she would jump on my lap and sit on it. She is a perfect lap cat.
It was a good opening year for me cos Joy has gone to a good home.
Two cats went missing three days ago.

Handsome from Malcom Road. And…

Sneaky from Whampoa.
I don’t know where Sneaky has gone to… All I know is that she is not the type of cat that follows people around. She is always the first one to approach me for food…
It has been three days. Whereever she is right now,  I hope she is well taken care of and loved by many. And I also hope she finds her way back, just like Sayang.
Handsome is believed to be taken away by someone. Mel and I put up notices along  Malcom Road. We are hoping that whoever took him away could call me and tell me his whereabouts and that he is fine.
I remember when I first saw Handsome, he was skinny and dirty. He walked everywhere looking for food. No one bothered to look at him until the day I told Mel that I had to grab hold of him and feed him everyday. I did it! I caught his attention and I found a feeding spot for him. I feed him every day without fail.
Day after day, he became fatter and stronger. Everyone who jogs and walks past him adore him. People started feeding him at his feeding area. Not every day of course. He was loved by so many.
I was hoping that someone could adopt him but whenever I ask people whom I think love him, they refused to.
Many may have seen Handsome without my presence. I believe strongly that he was taken away. I hope whoever has taken him away could call me and tell me about it…
So much for the first month of 2016. It is always so hard when you see cats every day at the same spot feeling so happy and then one day you don’t get to see them anymore….
Being a stray, their lives are unpredictable… I really hope humans can cherish not only mankind but all animals all the time…
I will always be with them…
