Salina:
When to another case about unsterilised cats and poos/pees.. these have been going on for years maybe not sure. But I went to help a caregiver as this estate and me being a Malay, I need to be translating information for this family… months back from what caregiver mentioned, the stairways seems so unbearable… and now when we went up the area looks clean and 200% better and of all the cats only two that needs sterilisation as they are still young. The two kittens were abandoned ones and 2 other siblings have died too and some of the old cats have also died.
As per translated to the uncle that if the cats roam and poos/pees along stairways etc, these cats regardless sterilised or not will be taken away….he mentioned that some of the cats are not his but resident community cats that he feeds and sterilised…but he doesn’t feeds outside the house..and in fact since the complaints he has been cleaning regularly also along the vicinity so that there will be no smell….
We would also required the uncle to mesh his windows to avoid cats from coming out of the house… and as he do not have enough money to pay for it, the caregiver has decided to sponsor the mesh and the uncle will mesh up the place but still will have fresh air into the house. Brochures on Responsible feeding, please do not dump your pets and sterilisation were also given to him in Malay translation. And I have passed him my card and number so that he can contact me if he needs advice too.
While talking to him, a friend told us that someone has poured so much cat food along the staircase……but we couldn’t find the person….and then we realised that there are a few GHOST FEEDERS around that causes the family to be complains because of this. And this uncle knows that a very fast old old uncle will put food and disappeared. Many time the uncle will clear the food and feed inside to prevent the smell etc.
We will try to speak to the old old uncle tomorrow knowing that he will come everyday about the same time..And if managed to speak to other ghost feeders it would greatly help a lot.
And at 1st uncle thought that his neighbour complain bt after speaking to the neighbour, they said they did not complain and ok with the cats as long as he keeps the corridor and stairways clean.we hope that there are not going to be hard feelings between the two families.
1) Ghost feeders loves feeding at the staircases & even downstairs with wet/dry food that will attracts ants & flies. In fact there is not one but a few ghost feeders.
2) And by causing that the cats after eating will want to poo & pee even before they can reach grass patch.
3) Uncle always have to clear the food whenever he saw cat food to prevent complains again & again. And uncle have promised to always wash all areas mesh up the house and to keep the cats indoor at all times. Sterilising the remaining two kittens. Uncle always have to clean stairways regularly and maintain cleaniless and scattered some crush mothballs to prevent the cats from peeing/poos along stairways etc.
We will do an inspection in two weeks time after he has meshed up the house.
