Cats in HDB Flats Issue revisited
Ivan:
I went to the vet’s clinic today and was given a free copy of the Pets Magazine (Issue 17, Nov/Dec 2008). On page 36, there is an article about the ban on pet cats in HDB flats. You might want to get hold of one copy from your vet clinic or pet store. Meanwhile, past copies are available here.
For friends who aren’t aware that pet cats are banned in HDB flats, HDB’s link with the relevant information can be found here. However, the ‘problem’ as I understand from experienced HDB cat owners is ‘avoidable’ if you keep your pet cat(s) indoor, smell free (clear poo bin often), and train kitty (if meowing excessively). This is because if kitty is roaming, smelly and noisy; there is a higher chance of a neighbor complaining and HDB officer coming to your home to check on the situation.
