Blog EntryThe mysterious disappearance of cats in area 2Apr 25, '07 2:17 AM
for everyone

 

My suspicion that that residents have been calling in the pest control to remove cats has been confirmed. Many sterilized cats have disappeared in the area between block *02 and *24. Both TC and RC said that they did not remove them and none of the cats showed up at AVA.

 

A resident of that area, a Indian man named John, told me yesterday that there is a group of ‘cat-haters’ who take things into their own hands…but he claimed not to know their names and where they stay just pointing to a few blocks. I have a feeling he knows them…or maybe he is one of them.

 

I feel like giving up on this area...but what about all the sterilised cats… Darly, Shredder, One Eye Ginger, Lizzy, Beany, Little Grey, Ginger-White Boy, Lora, Sore Throat, Jade, Jake, Stitches, Lady Jane, Steel and Doppelganger? Then there is Pearl and her kittens, Muddy and the new ginger-white male…

 

The sterilised cats that have disappeared are:

 

Shadow blk *02

Patchy blk *11

Louis blk *07

Grey Long-Tail Tabby blk *12

Pearl’s son blk *18

Pearl’s daughter blk *18

Max blk *24

Felix blk *07

Light Ginger blk *14

Shredder’s son Howie blk *03

Hmmm. I have been reading your entries with some interest, where are all these cats at?

I never realised that "tipped" ears of cats are indicators of whether they're sterilised, now I notice that those stray cats that I stop by to pet have their ears tipped :)

Hi Johnahsng, all these tipped ear cats you see around are under the care of volunteers. There are many people feeding and sterilizing the community cats in different parts of Singapore. Let me know if you are interested in starting a TNRM programme in your area…you can make a difference to those cats :)

Dear Johansng
Please speak up for these "voiceless" community cats. They, including the tipped ear sterilised cats, are at the mercy of town councils who mercilessly "hunt" them down by paying pest controllers with your monthly contribution, to round up these cats in response to complaints about cats and sending them to be killed at the AVA. Worse are these residents who take the laws into their hands by getting rid of cats without going through the legal channel of surrendering the cats to the AVA.
Call or email to your town council and say that you are against the killing of cats and ask the town council to contact CWS to implement humane method of sterilisation.
