Searched every night. Yesterday I heard meowing from the locked up construction storage space under the void deck of *22. I was worried the it could be Twirly... locked up for 3 days!

Managed to pry the chain-locked door open just wide enough for a cat to pass through and jammed a plastic jar in to keep the gap open. However from the opening at the top I could see that there were further partitions and the sounds came from there. I left food outside the door and left to pick up the 5 kittens.

When I came back there were no more sounds but was still worried especially since I would not be able to hear soft sounds.  It was already after 1am. I decided to call the Neighbourhood Police. They came and also couldn't hear any sounds... so no choice had to wait until morning.

Before they left ... one of the officers kept asking whether it was my cat or a stray... seeing two other cats around and a plate with food he must have figured out that I might be a Stray Cat Feeder. Perhaps he had listened to the two ignorant DJ's on Class 95... because he informed me that theTown Council could summon me for feeding strays or birds. I briefly explained tnrm and the difference between feeding of cats to the feeding of birds or monkeys. I picked up my plate and told him that there is no law against responsible feeding... only littering is an offence.

This morning i went to see the construction supervisor  and was able to search the place with a torch light... but there was no cat. I noticed a gap in the wall...big enough for a cat to pass through. so the cat could have gone to the other room and escape though  the door while I was picking up the kittens.... but I guess it wasn't Twirly. He would have come to me...

Spotted a new female tabby in area 1 and Sylvia found a terrified ginger-white cat at area 3. Just like Fern...refusing food and water. Will go down later and try to syringe-feed.

Also found another mother cat with 2 kittens at a coffee shop next to the construction site where the other cat family with the white-and-black kittens lives.

The 2 kittens are also about 3 month old, one ginger-white and one tabby. Will be feeding them every day and hope that Penny can foster them if some of her kittens get adopted.

The new skinny boy at area one, named him Twirly, vomits sometimes. He is now at the same block every day, so I will start him on antibiotics tonight. Yesterday he ate quite a bit...  but if there is more vomiting or refusal to eat then he also will have to go to the vet.

There is another sick cat at area 2... a black-and-white coffee-shop cat. She has become very thin and has poor appetite. I went down last night because the Auntie told me that she won't eat.The cat didn't touch the dry food which she usually likes but she ate half a can of  kitten food. Gave some cans to the Auntie...

While feeding Twirly, I saw a middle-aged Chinese lady letting her dog run on the void deck and following him with a sheet of paper. She picked up the poo but left a big puddle of pee in the middle of the void deck...I cleaned up some of it with newspaper.  At  the next block there is dog poo in the middle of the walkway. Will the cats get blamed for this?

The calico went again up to the 7th floor. This time she went into the flat and hid under the bed... she came out when I called her. Brought her back downstairs to the same corner and she ate some dry food... refused to eat the Fussy Cat tuna. She looks thin...

Also saw the other two abandonees again and fed them. One is a Russian Blue type probably a male as he has some scars, his eyes are watery... maybe flu. The other one is a young cat or older kitten, very pretty, large circular patterns  and white paws... but malnourished. There is also a new Persian-x around... must be a home cat as he is never hungry... will be difficult to trap him for sterilisation.

Saw a tame female on my way to area 2. when I felt her tummy to see if she is pregnant or nursing kittens, I felt a broken rib... must be an old injury as there was no pain.

I have no more vouchers for this month as Penny needed my last two for two pregnant cats from an area with no caregiver, one of them suspected to be a home cat.

I had arranged with the son of the Chinese family staying on the second floor to wire mesh the window facing the corridor, the mother had approved. When I came with the mesh today the father refused and threatened to throw the kitten if it causes so much trouble. In the end he allowed me to fix the mesh to the kitchen window instead.

Saw two more new abandonees ...they came out to finish the left-overs after the community cats had their fill. I left some food behind for them...both are very shy.

Now listening to the Heart Sutra my mind is at peace and I breathe easily...
