Passing on in the lifetime.

Hey everyone,

I recently witnessed a sad accident involving the passing of a beautiful orange tabby. I was having lunch at my boyfriend's house at Upper East Coast when his mum exclaimed that a dog was attacking a cat. I immediately jumped up from my seat and ran to the window to see. Well, I'm sad to say that the "dog" was actually 2 big golden retrievers who were being owned by a chinese guy who was with his friend jogging along the park connector. The poor cat was a shy orange tabby who always sits at the fencing staring at people but always ran away when I approached. It was really shocking to see a domesticated dog attacking the cat.

I know that many of you would be asking me, "what was the owner of the dogs doing??" Well, when the dogs attacked, they were not on their leash. And i guess the owner was in a state of shock when it happened. He did try to make his retrievers drop the cat though although it was a bit too late cos the dog flung it around when it was in his mouth. The cat had puncture wounds and was not able to breathe. I couldn't do much but to pray. It passed on when I finished my prayers for it. The owner was trying to help but in the end he couldnt do much.

The scary thing was, the next week, we saw the same guy with the two dogs, with his arm in a cast! scary. wonder what happened to the guy, and if it was the dog's fault. :/ what do you think?

Malaysian Cats

Well, I just recently went tom Johor Bahru for a short day trip. It was a lot of fun and the best part of my trip was to spot the many cats that roam the streets there. Well, my boyfriend and I were at this roadside hawker centre where there were many many cats around. I had fun cause the stall owners there were so nice and caring to the cats. I guess the cats actually help them by keeping rats away right? People in Singapore should think that way sometimes. The only thing I was not happy about when I was there were that with the many adult cats around, there were also many kittens around too. They were playing with the people's feet and chasing each other.. It was all too cute. But, I was thinking of their future. I wished they weren't there somehow. The hardship they would have to go through next time...

Anyway, the stall owners do not understand the importance of sterilising. Well, I can't blame them. Some educated people can't even get it. Sterilising keeps the population down, and makes sure there aren't too many cats in an area. Unsterilised male cats have raging hormones and this causes them to find mates and new territories. This causes the literal cat-fights and "howlings and hissings" when they fight. As compared to sterilised male cats,  those who are sterilised will not run from their territory to find mates, keeping other cats away from the area and minimizing the chances of more kittens.  In addition, female cats should also be sterilised to ensure that they will not be able to give birth to more kittens.

So, people, I will post soon!

Take care and remember to spare a thought about the stray cats and dogs you seen on the streets!
