Hi folks, I am coco, the cat NOT Coco li wen the singer...ha.... I am now staying at Vincent's house. One of my human friend(KL) took me to this big house with lot of other cats and dogs on Sunday. I felt lucky that i may be about to have a home. Let me sell myself before i introduced my other pals to u.We are all former cats of ECP but some nice people offer to keep us for adoption. Please take note that KL and her folks had spent 2 weeks with me as compared to my other friends so i will have more things to boost how smart i am... hee hee...

Colour: Orange (ginger)
Special feature: a big '7' tail

Characteristics:
1) I love human
2) Purring is part of my 'tricks' to connect with human
3) I am smart as like all other cats - i had learnt how to find my way around KL's house and find my own water after food...
4) I am not afraid of other big brother and sisters in KL' s house that means I am fine with other cats
5) I respond to my name 'Coco' very well. Well, if i wanted to hide, i will do so under the sofa till i heard the soft of food
6) I am a quiet cat - i dislike people to lock me but once i am free, i will never meow.


Ok, I hope that i will be finding myself a home soon... and female ginger is quite rare....now Shushu will continue... Shu Shu, please..... (*Clap, Clap Clap*)


Hi everyone, I am ShuShu. My other longer name is Ma Ling Shu that i still prefer ShuShu. I spent 1 week at KL's home. I am down with flu again after KL released me back in ECP. But clever me came to find KL and spotted me with flu a second time. I guess i am not fully recovered the last time. Ok, now is the time for me to promote myself.

Name: Shu Shu
Gender: Male
Colour: Brown & white tabby

Characteristics:

1) Can be carry like a baby
2) Love human too
3) trust human easily... if not, i will not find KL after i am released the first time.
4) can mix well with othe cats. Vincent put me in the same cage as another tabby. I love my new friend very much.
5) Curious cat that like to rub people leg or lie down on human's feet... it is also my trick to make them love me... hee...(see my picture above, i am resting my head on A's feet)
6) I am a chatty guy... (only when i am eating). i think i am scared that other cats will snatch my food so i chat while i am eating to ask them not to come near me. If some nice ppl adopt me, i will purr everytime i eat instead of trying to meow...

This is a video of me eating and talking.




Ok, let me introduce my friend, tabby. i am not sure what name does tabby want himself to be called. Hmm, let me give him a name.... (after 5 seconds)..ok folks, let me introduce Brownie. Brownie, pls (*claps claps x5)

Trapped high up the tree

Jennifer say:




Yesterday, We were out feeding pi pa and mimi. We cannot find mimi but we could heard him crying to us for help. Sister then spotted mimi high up above the tree.

We called mimi to come down but he refused to move.

We tempted him with food but he refused to move.

We moved away from him hoping to find ginger but he refused to move.

Mimi just refused to move down. And we did not find ginger.

I am a bit worried about mimi but i am hoping that he would come down to find auntie L at 11 plus.

Sister then called Auntie L about mimi. Auntie L said that mimi will come down himself. At 11.45 pm, Auntie L then called Sister whom was in LaLa land with the cats. Sister pushed the phone to me... Auntie L told me to get a bamboo holder. (not sure what the proper name, but it is the pole u used to push up ur clothes to dry)

I am not sure if there was a communication breakdown between the two of us but from what i heard, Auntie L certainly mentioned about bringing down a bamboo holder. I remembered myself telling Auntie L that the pole may be too short but L said never mind, just use to pop pop mimi down. I am not very keen actually to come down with the bamboo as it was quite late. Then Auntie L started to say if i do not come down, mimi will be stranded in the tree till tml. I disliked the way auntie L speak to me... it's like leaving me with no choice... either u come or the cat will be up the tree. I then replied 'OK lor' half-heartedly.

Sister was too busy chasing cats @ ECP in Lalaland. She refused to move from the bed. So mum asked blood to go down with me as it is quite late. Mum found me a extendable clothes pole to pop pop mimi. Blood and I then meet Auntie L at the bottom of Mimi's tree. Auntie L gave me a 'not happy' look when she saw me holding a short pole and she started to nag about wanting a long long pole when i shouted her up that this is an extendable pole. I am equally unhappy seeing her face...

Mimi was high up at around 2m from the ground. Auntie L took 4 chairs from the nearby coffeeshop and poor blood as expected had to stand up the chair trying to pop mimi that refused to move an inch. Crazy auntie L then suggested blood to climb the tree. I had forgot to mention that the tree had thin branches and was extremely dangerous for any one attemping to be monkey. Moreover, blood had never climb a single tree in his whole life... Crazy auntie L then tried to ask a male passer by to attemp to be monkey but of course anyone with normal IQ will refused to perform such a dangerous act.

After 15 min at 12 midnight, Auntie L then said she needed to go and feed the other cats.. She said she will called SPCA to rescue mimi but she said she do not know if SPCA will just take mimi away. Auntie L then left blood and me staring at mimi up the tree.

Blood then used my house key to wave to mimi. He also used a long oil palm leaf and wave at mimi. Instead mimi shifted further UP. At 12.30 am, both blood and me got stiff neck staring up at mimi. I told blood that we should gave up now. Just then, i saw ginger got bullied by a big dark grey tabby. Ginger also ran up the same tree as mimi but at a lower height.

Poor ginger..i chased the never seen before tabby male away and left.

When i woke up in the morning, sister went to find mimi and come back with good news. Mimi had come down from the tree himself. Thanks god.... i packed some rice for mimi to eat. I did not sleep well yesterday, tossing in my bed thinking of poor mimi. I even prayed for mimi to come down himself by chanting 'guanyin pusa' name in my mind many times, asking for goddness of mercy to take care of mimi.

When i looked at my cats at home, i am thinking how lucky all 4 of them are....no need to got chased by other cats, no need to find food, got shelter, got 5 ppl to sayang them, no evil ppl making complaints and no risk of being put to sleep...

Life between a home cat and community cats had such a great difference.

How do i feed a scared cat & a big bully cat?

Jennifer say:




Sunday, mum told me that there was another abandoned kitten at exactly the same spot where KK and dudu were abandoned in may last year. The new kitten looked around 3 months old - sadly another case of abandoned pet from irresponsbile cat owner.

Sister and I went to feed it wet canned food. We decided to relocate the new cat that we named' mui mui' to an less-obvious place where there are less ppl walking.

We shifted it to our block. Then pi pa came to find us. Initally, the new kitten is friendly toward pi pa and both of them even rubbed nose. So after we had fed mui mui, we decided to leave the two of them together. We thought that the new kitten may be 'adopted' by pi pa as his foster daughter... just like xiao bai and baby, ginger and mimi....

How very wrong we were!!!!Then all of the sudden, we heard a loud scream from mui mui... pi pa had decided to bully the new kitten instead of caring for her. We had no choice but to move mui mui to the old nana's area and left her there.

At sun night, we saw mui mui hiding under the drain..not wanting to come out for food.

Mon morning, I cannot located mui mui at her hideout. At night, sister called to say that mui mui was up in the tree, unable to come down. There was someone helping mui mui to come down. But at last, mui mui dropped to the ground, unharmed.

Sister then carried mui mui to another hideout.... somewhere near the back of our block.... At night, we decided to carry her into a thicker bushes area where she is still hiding today...

Now, the problem is it is extremely difficult to feed pi pa and mui mui. We tried to feed mui mui first but somehow, pi pa heard us and came to kapoh. Then mui mui started to scream at pi pa. Yesterday, silly mui mui went to find a man whom was drinking beer at the void deck. Luckily the man loved cat. He told us that he had chased pi pa away when pi pa tried to bully mui mui.So sister take care of mui mui while i went to find mimi. But what if the man do not like cats?......and mui mui kept rubbing his legs.....

Yesterday, i heard a poor pitiful meow coming from afar. I waved to sister to come. We then decided the meow came from the multi-storey carpark. We decided to go up the carpark to see whom was crying. We walked up and open the door. Poor ginger was trapped inside the car park unable to come out. The carpark door is closed so poor ginger cried for help. I carried ginger down the carpark and back to his usual place. Luckily i happened to hear ginger's cries.... mum said that maybe someone played a prank on ginger and put him there... but i thought maybe ginger followed someone to the carpark and was trapped when the person drove off his car.

It is becoming bit of a headache trying to stop two cats from screaming at the middle of the night. I do wanted to feed pi pa but i 'hated' him to bully mui mui. Maybe i will 'crept' to bring mui mui to another place first.. then bring her back to her hideout again so that pi pa will not 'discovered' me.... hmm....

Sister trid to bring mui mui home today when it rain ..but mui mui cried so sister put her back downstairs... And mui mui also screamed at sweetie and DD whom do not make any noises while mui mui screamed... good girls, sweetie & DD.

Coco is still in our house... i think we will put her back in ECP this sunday.

Dad's workplace cats

These three cats are from dad's workplace that is a warehouse. The two older brother cats are due for sterilization next week and in feb. There used to be five siblings cats around but two died of poison and the third died of a fatal accident. Now, there are only these two brothers. The little black cat joined the two brothers suddenly one day.

From the picture, u will noted that the area is quite dirty... in fact, everything there are dull and black. It is really a bad condition to live in for cats... so far, mummy cat & big ah Ou had gone M.I.A after we had sterilized them.... 

Coco @ ECP - the correct female ginger

sister told me that i got Coco picture wrong in my earlier post so i had deleted the earlier post and posted the right picture.

Sister bought back this female ginger from ECP on Tuesday. One of her feeder had named her "Mary"...but we had decided to rename her. Mum though of naming her "Ling Ling" as we already had "Shu Shu" and "Lei Lei" from Marine Parade (Ma Lin Ma Lei).....

Then mum suggested "Ke Ke" so we decided to translate to English name, CoCo. She's quite a purring pussy cat. Whenever we let her out, she will purr real loud. Sister had given her a bath this morning when she poo in her carrier.

Coco has a strange big "7" tail - a tail that curled into the number seven. Oh, forgot to mention. Sister got her home because she had a flu. Of course, mum scolded sister again.... Coco is still sneezing today, we are not sure when she will recover. 

Sweetie 2nd year in our house

Jennifer say:




While feeding mimi and friends today, sister asked me if i know today is Sweetie's 'birthday'. Today is in fact Sweetie 2nd year in our house.

Sweetie first come to our house at 17 Jan 2005 as our offical home cat.

This is the first time:
1) i had some furry cat in my room
2) I wake up to find a cat beside me
3) I find sweetie living in a proper house with me, not in the street
4) I get to know sweetie's personality better ( what she hate - me to touch her bob-tail)
5) I know how to take care of a cat
6) be in charge of sweetie's small big business

Overall, sweetie is our first cat giving me my first experience as a cat owner. She remain as No 1. till No2. DD arrived in our household in Sept 2005 and No 3 and 4, KK and dudu arrived at 4 May 2006.

Happy 2nd year, sweetie.....
There is actually a picture of sweetie in the sidebar beside this topic..just click on sweetie to know more about her. This is what i had written last year during sweetie's 1st year in our house.

Will this ever happen in Singapore? Cats in HDB....

Jennifer say:




I loved what this lady had written to the ST forum regarding the ban on cats in HDB flats. Sister had written to one MP whom forward her letter to HDB... and the usual response is a template reply as always... HDB must have countless letters from cat lovers asking them to lift the ban of cats in HDB flats so they come prepare with a template reply that do not require much work to read details.

Will Singapore ever make cats legal in HDB flats one wonderful day? I had begin to doubt so... Aah... sister had asked me to give medicine to Coco (ECP cats), will post about her later...


The online letter from ST Forum: dated 17 Jan
MY FRIEND who lives in a terrace house has just adopted a cat. It makes me envy him that his cat is 'legal' while my poor cat is an 'illegal occupant' as I live in an HDB flat.
My cat has been with me for years, and has yet to cause any nuisance that is enough to drive any neighbours to pound on our doors. I did an online search and to my surprise found these two statuary boards' stand on cats as pets.

A brochure from Agri-food & Veterinary Authority states that 'Cats make good indoor pets' (April 2001).

However, the Housing and Development Board (HDB) states: 'Cats are not allowed to be kept in HDB flats as they are nomadic in nature and are difficult to be confined within the flats. Due to the nomadic nature of cats, the nuisances caused by cats such as shedding of fur, defecating/urinating in public areas, noise disturbance etc would affect the environment and neighbourliness in our housing estates. In view of this, HDB has the policy of not allowing cats to be kept in HDB flats.' (Aug 24, 2006)

My cat has no problem in living in my HDB flat for all these years and has never made attempts to run away from home. Thus, I do not understand how 'cats are nomadic in nature and difficult to be confined within the flats'.

I also do wonder, does a cat shed less fur when on a landed property than when it is within an HDB flat?

If not, then why is this raised as a justification for banning cats in HDB flats?
Since there is no difference in the amount of fur shed, and responsible owners do take time to brush cats as much as they do for dogs to remove loose fur, this should be a non-issue.
In any case, the shedding of fur is within the owners' flat anyway.

The frequent barking of dogs is also definitely louder than any meowing of sterilised cats, so why are cats banned and dogs allowed?

As for cats urinating in public areas, I think dogs of irresponsible owners will defecate just as much in public too.

I feel that the HDB's banning of cats is too harsh on responsible cat owners like myself.

my red-ear sliders

Jennifer say:




Today, i was reading calsifer's blog regarding saving the lifes of red terrrapins. I realised that i seldom blog about my own pair of red eared sliders.

I had mine for over ten years. Both are females, that i named Ah-bob and lizzie. I used to have a third one but he died 3 years ago, his name was xiao fei. Xiao fei was our favourite terrapin, fat and round and very tame. Unfortunately, he grew a tumour that we can never removed. We spent $200 vet treatment but xiao fei never recovered.

Back to Ah bob and lizzie, i had ah bob given to me by my third uncle from my mum's side. Here is how ah-bob entered our life:

One fine day, we went to third uncle's house and seeing his terrapins that we find(we were only primary school at that time) very cute, mum asked if we could bring his terrapins to play before returning the pair to uncle. So we brought that pair home. Then dad stiked 4-D and suddenly third uncle called to say his daughter wanted her terrapins back. When third uncle was at our home to bring home his own pair, he also brought a third terrapin to give it to us. This is Ah-bob.

Lizzie was bought from at B453 AMK market. Xiaofei was bought from another AMK (B339) market.

This is how we had three terrapins. Xiaofei stayed with us for 6 to 7 years.

Most people buy baby terrapins because they are cute but most do not keep their terrapins when it become bigger. In fact, the bigger they are, they also become more smelty and dirtier. I never thought of dumping them into the reservoirs. In calsifer's blog, that person appealing for help was asking this qn:

Do U have relevant informations on how to release them safely back into the sea or reservoirs as they are not the local species here…. ? or

It is totally impossible to send home bred terrapins back into the wild. They can hardly survive in the water as a matter of fact. Most can actually drowned if they cannot find any rock to rest. And there is also the problem of finding food. It is logical to think this way - at home, they never need to hunt for food, in the wild, do u think they can learn to hunt. Maybe yes..maybe no. Yes is the terrapins are big enough. No is where too many terrapins are abandoned at the place. And certainly no terrapins can survive in the sea esp when the water is salted.

i do not know if my own pairs are luckier than those other 'brothers' as i had keep them in baby bathtub - ah bob in baby tub while lizzie in a red round container. That is the best i can do to keep them in our home. I think ah-bob is 12 years or more.... i had forgotten their real ages as times passes.

So far, none of my cats evern disturb my terrapins. The cats will stare at them but never put their claws at them. I always tell my cats that ah bob and lizzie are their elder 'jie jie' although they are of different species. I tried moving ah-bob close to DD once and DD ran away. Hmm..i do not think DD is afraid of bob. DD is never afraid of strange 'UFOs' in our house. That fearless cat is only scared of door bell and strangers.

ST Forum - sister's letter again.

We need a Collective Community to Curb Animal Abuse

I refer to the article 'Cat strangled with nylon string' (ST, 8 Jan 06) and cannot help feeling sickened at how animal abuse has happened yet again. To prevent such cases from happening, I wish to propose that we promote a 'collective community' towards helping the animals in our midst.
It is crucial to find the culprit responsible for the abuse so that future acts will not be repeated. We only attempt to find the culprit after such issues happen, but how much have we done to prevent animal abuse?
For too long, cats on the streets have been assumed to be the under the care of NGOs like the SPCA and Cat Welfare Society. The government assumes a passive role in animal issues, and only steps in to cull cats (this is not animal welfare) or investigate cases of animal abuse. So much more can be done by the government; such as giving resources towards sterilization efforts, so that the number of cats can be reduced in the long term, that translating into fewer cats vulnerable to abuse.
Besides that, cats should also be part of the collective community and responsibility of ordinary citizens like you and me. This means first, we do not complain about them to the Town Council that leads to the cats being culled. Second, we should not abuse cats even if we do not like them. It always pains me to see children throwing things or shouting at cats to scare them off. Third, we should encourage the formation of networks of resident volunteers to help look after the welfare of cats - sterilizing them and feeding responsibly. Having networks of resident volunteers also help build community ties across race, religion and gender - neighbourliness that is lamented to be missing as seen in the report 'Community ties: It's the basics that count' (ST, 8 Jan 06).
For too long, some have assumed that 'stray' cats should be under the care of those who 'like them' and should 'bring them home', without due consideration of the feasibility of doing so. This mentality should change as our society matures.
As a youth, I hope to see more kind acts towards animals manifested in everyday spaces and a collective responsibility towards helping animals in our midst. This will curb animal abuse in the long term.
Neo Kai Ling (Ms)

I WAS aghast when I read the article, 'Cat strangled with nylon string' (ST, Jan 8). When will such abuse stop? Or have we become apathetic to such cruel acts?
A gracious society is not made up of just educated citizens, green trees, beautiful parks and the latest infrastructure. There is also humanity, kindness and empathy towards our fellow human beings and other occupants of this earth. Or have we forgotten this?

Killing for the sake of killing or for pleasure is plain wrong and deserves the strongest punishment. While justice is meted out to humans, our animal friends seem to deserve less of this justice. The maximum penalty for animal cruelty is a $10,000 fine and up to 12 months' jail. I can recall only one instance where an abuser was sentenced to a year in jail.
I believe this problem can be tackled at two levels.

The government authorities can teach kindness and empathy through campaigns and education. Set an example against killing; instead of culling strays, why not consider a humane method to control the stray population? Or start a kindness movement in school that encourages children to interact, play with and care for small animals.
As parents, siblings and friends, we can educate and impress on others the importance of humanity, kindness and respect for life - both human and animal.
Until we achieve this, we cannot call ourselves a gracious society.
Khoo Hwee Boon (Ms)

I refer to the report Jan 8, 2007 "Cat strangled with nylon string".
A few days ago, I was walking behind a little girl, aged about seven year-old, accompanied by an elderly lady in her 70's, presumably her grandmother.

They passed by a sterilized tipped ear community cat.
The little girl screamed and made threatening gestures at the cat who ran to hide amongst the bicycles parked in the void deck of a block of HDB flats. The grandmother stood nearby and awaited, apathetically.

The following day, I passed by an elderly Peranakan lady, also in her 70's, who was feeding another sterilized tipped ear community cat at the same void deck, responsibly with shredded fish placed on a piece of paper. She said she "sayang" ("love") the community cats who gave her much joy in her old age. She said that sometimes she has to "marah" ("scold") the children from the nearby primary school, for hurting the cats.

I think we can longer ignore the symptom of animal abuse such as what had happened to this cat at Simei - strangled with nylon string. How can we hypocritically claim to be a civilized society when such symptom of barbarism is occuring so often?
How can we inculcate kindness in our children when on a national level we are killing 13,000 cats every year, assisted with free loan of cat traps from the AVA and some Town Council officers freely engaging pest control firms to trap cats to be killed in respond to feeback from residents about cats?

Let's start a pro-active Kindness Movement by involving grass-root resources such as the schools, the RC's and Community Clubs to impart EMPATHY in our children as well as their adult guardians with project that involves the care of the community cats. Such program is a good antidote to the current perception that the young people nowadays are too engrossed with their self-satiation. Learning to be kind in children will also teach them to the kind to the increasing number of Singaporeans who are greying and perceived by some youngters to be "old, frail and useless". Perhaps this is how some people view the stray cats as well.

Diamond are forever

Sister bought diamond home yesterday or today at midnight. We placed her in the storeroom. Today morning, when i took a look at her, i am surprised Diamond is so very tame. She keep rubbing against the cage and my finger. I told sister that Diamond is tame. So sister took her out and sayang her. I also carried her in my hand before her big day today. She is scheduled for sterilization today and then she will be released to ECP two or three days later by V. Diamond actually purr loudly when i carried her. She is so cute, it is a pity that she will be returned to the harsh life at ECP later. This is also the last time i will be getting to see Diamond again. Farewall Diamond.....

The story of the search for Billie

Jennifer say:




I should had blog this last friday.

Anyway, lastThurs, sister and I went feeding mimi and playing with ginger and little sweetie when a man came forward to ask us if we had seen a black cat with white socks and blue collar. We replied "No". and the man asked us to keep a lookout for his missing cat that had been gone for 2 days.

Sister then asked if the man said the cat is what colour. We saw the man again so sister approached the man to ask more clearly why was his cat missing. Apparently, the cat escaped from his sister's flat from a gap in the door mesh. The cat is only staying in the flat for two week while the man and his wife went for a holiday. The poor cat was scared of the residential three other cats that bully him.

I then also went to find siter. The man's wife came and the 4 of us chatted about billie, the missing cat.I asked the wife if she had called the authority. The man then asked us if the chance of cats being rounded up was high in our area. I told him that there used to have cats that were being caught by pest control but since Auntie L had contact with TC people, so far, no cats are being caught. I told him that in Tampines, the situation is more serious. The man that said that maybe he should be happy that his cat was not missing in Tampines. I also told him that one of my neighbour's cats went missing for five days before he was found. If you all can recall, milky was missing for 5 days before i spotted him and infomred his owner to get him.

She said that she would call every organization. The couple were also concerned if there was any abuse of cats in our area. I said 'no' but the other side (across the road), there were one case of cat abuse. The cat was poured green paint all over its body.

The wife whom we learnt was called 'C' thanked us repeatedly for us offering to keep a lookout for billie. Actually we did not do much. We parted ways.

Sister contacted Auntie L to inform her of billie. While at B543, i spotted a ginger cat and went to see if it was pi pa. The ginger is actually ring ring that had followed the couple. We spotted the couple again, walking and calling billie. Sister went to find them and told them to keep their phone on in case Auntie L spotted Billie. C asked me how many cats i have, i just said "a lot". C appeared to have a "Wow" expression. I told her that we were forced to feed at later hours because of earlier complaints.

Then we parted ways a second time.
Friday, we spotted C calling for billie.

On sunday, sister received a SMS from C that billie had been found. Billie actually went back to the sister's house to find them itself. I wonder where did Billie go this five days?

Sick BIrd on New Year Day 2007

I was a poor sick bird yesterday. I was sick on Sun night.. i think i had eaten something that made me had a bad Gastric Pain. Mum was also sick on Firday night with a bad stomachache. I was at home sleeping the whole day yesterday... What a bad day to start 2007 but i am still happy to have a whole new year ahead of me....
