News: CatPeople struggle to stay solvent

From CatPeople struggle to stay solvent on Feral Cats In The News. This sounds so familar:
“Theirs is a somewhat underground operation. Few students on campus realize the time it takes to care for the cats, mostly feral colonies that live along the edges of the campus and are unaccustomed to human kindness.
But the CatPeople operate [...]

Young Siamese Boy on the loose

Cassie’s carpark in Area 1 has a new member.
A young chocolate siamese boy who is very friendly and trusting of humans. He wears a collar and he accepted btmao’s food service readily.
This morning is our second sighting of this young kitt. btmao first spotted him on Saturday. More mojo robbery to plot… sigh.

ST 20061127 – Great letter

From Dawn’s blog:

ST (27-11-06)
Thanks to Vegancat and IwooiBlog for sending this to me :-
Control Stray cats but have some regard for their welfare
This is a good letter – and makes a good point. Some people who borrow traps are probably not doing the right things with them – and there really is not much we [...]

Izzy assimilation

Izzy’s been home with his dad, HB, since yesterday, and to date, HB has made an Izzy update everyday. We found that very thoughtful and appreciate his effort v much.
As expected, there was a bit of a freakout on Izzy’s part at the move, but it seems like nothing major. In fact, Izzy’s started to [...]

If You Take the Time To Understand Them Cats Make Great Pets

If You Take the Time To Understand Them Cats Make Great Pets
November 18th, 2006
Cats do not normally perform any tricks, and they certainly do not guard your house while you are away. In fact, the only thing you can [...]

Cara vid’d, Cassie and Ivan were there too

Yesterday morning was almost a gathering of Area 1’s carpark cats. There was Cara (at last), Cassie (who got the telemeow and just wanted company), and Ivan.

Cara
She liked btmao’s company, and of course the brekkie service. But she’s not been regular, as mentioned. So that just makes us wonder where she’s hanging out since her [...]

Zen Izzy

Getting the last kinks out of the system

Now for some zen while waiting to go home with Dad tomorrow.

Homeseeker: Snowball

I am Snowball, a pure white young male cat. I love affection and will not resist being carried.

My eyes have different colours, and my tail doubles back on itself. I was abandoned when I got sick. I was picked up some strangers and cared for. Now I am recovered and ready to go to a [...]

New semi-pet cat in Area 2

I was with btmao on the evening rounds.

At Sasha’s, we found her at her usual spot on the staricase by the roadside… waiting for her “owner” to return or maybe just bided goodbye.
We called her and fed her at her usual feeding spot. As she was tucking in, we heard loud meows. It was coming [...]

Won’t you give her a chance?

Timmi’s been looking for a home for abot 1.5 years now. Like Booties and Frankie, there’s hardly any enquiries about her.
We see her only about once a week, since she’s at Foster Mum’s. But Timmi greets us, especially btmao, every single time she sees us. She even start calling once she hears btmao! If that [...]

Accounting for breeding stock

(If you find this post informative, you might like to check out these.)

I stumbled on the Project Kindness – “Just Kindness, from our souls to theirs” blog, and feel the entry below should be shared with all. It is with regards to the way business-minded people exploit animals to breed babies and sell them for [...]

Do you know Singapore’s housing authority is anti-cat, Mrs Bush?

Mrs Bush, First Lady of the United States Of America, likes cats. She was just here last week with her husband, the President of the United States of America.
I wonder what it would be like if one of these kids asked her if she knew HDB bans cats from flats, and refuses to review the [...]

HDB refuse to review cat-ban

Latest news about CWS’ effort to engage in dialogue with HDB and get them to review their ridiculous cat specific ban:

HDB declined meeting
HDB just wrote back to say that they had just renewed the housing policy in July and hence did not wish to meet with us again.
I have written back to say that [...]
