Cats in bathroom case update

Posted by ivanong on May 19, 2008

Hi all,

Here’s an update of the cats in bathroom case that Dawn was blogging about last year.  On Wednesday (14 May 08), I got a call from the cats owner’s sister.  She said their father was hospitalised as he recently suffered a severe stroke.  The father is supposed to go home three days later and I was told the cats have to go as the father needs to stay in a clean environment that entails not cats.  She added that special medical equipment are coming too.

The reason I pat stray cats

Posted by catwelfaresg on April 30, 2008

Aliah:

There are many reasons why I stop and pat a stray cat when I’m walking down the street. One, I love animals. Two, like humans, cats need a sign of affection, a mere reassurance, to let them know that
everything is all right.

Living on the streets can be dangerous at times. Especially with animal abusers lurking around, finding their next prey. What about those who simply can’t stand the idea of having our four-legged friends living in the same neighbourhood with them? Where would they go unwanted?

So, who would speak up for the cats?

They can’t possible defend themselves.

I think the reason why we’re doing this is that, deep down inside, we feel that we’re able to help the cats one way or another. Sure, you can’t save the world. At least, you try.

meow, Aliah
