Where is your conscience?
Yes indeed, I am incensed.
Guess what I found on my way home this evening?
Yes, two more abandoned cats in my estate - a Calico mommy with her 3-month-old white and grey tabby boy.
I didn't notice them at first. I was walking through the nicely landscaped garden which leads to my flat when something "prompted" me to turn my head. I saw a pile of furniture at the void deck of a nearby block, discarded to make way for new ones in time for the lunar new year. Then I saw a bundle of white and black furry things on top of the unwanted sofa. With four pointed ears. Rats.
They are obviously abandoned home cats because they are very friendly, and Calico mommy still had a chain collar with a bell.
Someone also left some "farewell" food for them, it seems. Calico mommy allowed me to stroke her, and boy, is she skinny! I fed her some biscuits, and went home to get a can of wet food for her and tabby boy.
Why were they thrown out together with the old furniture? Because they would "damage" the new sofa? Or is it because their "shelf-life" is over?
I left them at the void deck and went home with a heavy heart.
If you love someone, would you abandon them?
