Sylvia came to know who took Babu. They are students from China staying at a nearby block. They said that they had to return to China for 3 months and didn't know what to do so they released him back to where they took him.

Now it seem they have taken him again... with the Auntie's approval. Hope Sylvia and myself can talk to them to find out what they plan to do with Babu when they return to China....

Babu (old pic) suddenly appeared yesterday night at blk *44 area 3. He looked so different, Sylvia kept asking whether I was sure that this is Babu. Yes, I am sure! LH took some photos, but I have not received them yet. Babu had put on some weight, his fur is very soft now and he was wearing a collar and bell. He looks so nice! I am just grateful that they returned him back instead of dumping him elsewhere.

Hope the big ginger cat who recently moved into this area will not fight with him. Will Billy Boy still remember his friend after such a long time?

The cleaners at the blk *05 area 2 bin center told me that the big and very nice cat was hit by a car and had died. First I thought that it was Shadow who didn’t turn up that day…then I realized that it must be the ginger cat who belonged to a resident of *02. He frequently joined Shredder and Shadow at feeding time.

Another cat was killed today at the SPC petrol station quite near to blk *52 where Anna feeds. Mohan went there and called me in case it was one of the feeders’ cats. The big black cat with white paws used to sleep under the cars there. Sylvia thinks it could be one of Anna’s cats…

Blackie has been sterilized today and her sister Whitie has been released. I decided to release Whitie early as she was really very frightened and hardly ate anything, though I tried to tempt her with all kinds of different food.

Babu’s sterilization was postponed to next Tuesday. His third eyelids show a little, which can be a sign of not being well, and he also felt a bit warm.  I am giving him Vibravet  and Nutriplus to help him recover. He seems better now and is eating well.

Met Anna and the Aunty yesterday after my feeding round. It was already past midnight. The Aunty had been trying to catch Pearl but was not successful and they were not going to use the voucher and the sterilization slot. Not wanting to let the voucher go to waste when there are still cats to be done, I asked the Aunty to go home and take the voucher while I get a cat.  Most of the cats had already walked off after their dinner...  then I saw Sylvester, but did not have much hope, as he is still very shy and I didn’t have the trap with me, but I tried anyway and with some luck, I managed to pick him up and place him in the carrier without any struggle. Sylvester was sterilized today and tomorrow will be Babu’s turn.
