(Photo of Panther-2 taken on 2nd October last year)He was an adult cat when he was trapped outside a primary school, for neutering and later released back with a left clipped ear, about 6-7 years ago.
He became a well loved cat, sitting or lying on the cement floor at the back gate of the school, welcoming kids and some kids, especially Malays, would squat and "sayang" him.
He was also well loved by some residents who live in the HDB block of flats besides the school, giving him food at the back gate.
Hence it was unusual for him not to appear at the back-gate for a week.
A caregiver contacted one of the school's workers and he said that Panther-1 was unwell and became progressively weaker until he stopped eating and couldn't move.
He was found dead by a gardener on the 9th of October 2011.
He will be much missed by staff and students of the school.
